My most beautiful game (for now!)

I bought this ADP Powerplay table hockey game from a secondhand dealer. It was in good condition but completely covered with dust and the mechanisms were blocked by hardened grease. In addition, the players were not realistic: they looked like jockeys rather than hockey players.



I completely disassembled the table and mechanisms until the smallest bolt. I cleaned, sanded and repainted everything. Everything was in perfect working order.



Then I had to find more realistic players. I liked the form of Wayne Gretzky table players but they were too small compared to my table. I contacted a Chinese company that makes figurines, I sent a picture of Wayne Gretzky players and they made me a model of player and goalie to the right dimension (10cm in height).



I received the 2 figures and I bought the material to reproduce them myself in sufficient quantity: hand-made silicon mold for pouring the resin.
It was also necessary to make pucks with the same method (stiga puck model)



It was also necessary to find a system of attachment which adapts to the old supports. Glue, pipe and bolts allowed fixing.



Then long painting work, stickers, varnish to achieve 4 teams: Montreal 2016, Quebec all-times, and my all-stars.



Last step, customization of the table with advertisements and side decor



I was hoping to play at this table but the resin hockey sticks are too fragile and I broke one in the first game. Too bad, but I love this table that asked me hours of work and is very decorative.

Wow, amazing work! Well done
