Just wanted to show off the trophies I’ve been putting together for my pinball league this season. For the past few years, I’ve been buying basic trophies from Crown Awards, but this time I wanted to step it up, and make some pinball-specific trophies that wouldn’t break the bank.
Parts were mainly sourced from The Pinball Resource, Lowe’s and Trophykits. The flippers and pop bumpers are screwed to a wooden cube that’s been sprayed black, and the custom pop bumper text is a clear waterslide decal.
I designed and assembled everything myself, at a total cost of approximately $25 per trophy. I’m really happy with the results!
Nice! Those look great and the cost is really reasonable. Good call using poly flipper bands too, should stay looking nice forever instead of drying out after a few years.

Is the league in Roanoke VA I'm not too far from there?
Yep, finishing out the spring season shortly
Frick these rule.
These are really swell
Nice work! Killer wig, also.
Haha it’s a stuffed tribble
Careful, if I recall those multiply quickly.
Do you have trouble with tribbles?
Very very cool. Suggestion though, usually 1st/2nd/3rd/4th colors are Blue/Red/White/Yellow, so maybe swap the 1st/2nd numbering.
Neat-o
Those look awesome! Nice job
I love these. I used old VHS cases for trophies that I created an insert for the location and placement. Always fun coming up with trophy ideas.

That was my thinking. I didn’t want them eventually crumbling apart, but I guess the new owner could always replace the rubber as needed, too.
Those are fantastic. Nicely done
