Pinball Machine - Medusa (1981)

Who hasn't heard of pinball machines? 

Pinball machines are not just games. They are a piece of art, a piece of furniture, an amazing technical masterpiece.

During their long (and sometimes vicissitudinary) history, they have evolved from a simple ball rolling randomly on a board into a controllable, dexterous and skill-developing gaming machine. They reached their heyday at the end of the 20th century, when most of them - and perhaps the most famous ones to this day - were produced.

During this period, the Medusa pinball machine was produced by one of the famous manufacturers, Bally, in 1981.

It is true that it is one of the less popular machines, but with its unique playfield and beautiful artwork, it is still one of the outstanding pieces of the era.

As a pinball and Lego enthusiast, it was an obvious idea to make one, but while I had previously created alternative builds (vehicles, fictitious pinball machines) from existing sets, I now wanted to create a real machine, but not from a given quantity and type of elements. 

Considering the existing Lego elements and knowing the structure of pinball machines, this machine was one of the most suitable for implementation, taking into account the scale. In different machines, certain parts and units could not be created or could only be created in a much larger scale, which would adversely affect the number of elements, but in this machine, there were no such details, so a not too big, but not too small structure could be created.

It's probably not an exaggeration to say that almost EVERYTHING has been made from this little bricks.

What hasn't been made from Lego yet?

A pinball machine.

Until now.
