More Pole Position Projects added to the Project Plate

After the success of the first Pole Position cpo repro I did it was no surprise that I was contacted about
other PP pieces that are now officially on the project Plate.
The first is the instrument Panel for the standard upright which was vector by the mighty Zorg
who does some of the best vectoring to be found on AAL.


But that wasn't enough I was then contacted about doing the PP cockpit version
and a panel was offered up over on KLOV which was sent my way for scanning
a big thanks to ... for sending that out to get done
the panels scanned and the vector about 80% complete


But wait there's more if you act now you can also do the Ireland PP cpo sent in by our good friends of ATARICADE.com
I guess buying games stateside just wasn't enough and Francis had to venture out and start bring those classic Atari titles over from the UK.
So those across the pond can look forward to what might be the first Silkscreened repro for a Euro Version!

the vector here is 100% complete

some notable differences of the 3 cpos (orginal upright on the right)
the cockpit (top) doesn't have any metallic silver though the red and blues are the same.
The Euro version (left) has the silver but the red and blues are different no surprise there since alot of the Ireland art had different
colors scheme and sometimes muted in color.


The hole placement is also a little different though the 2 holes are the same size the placement of the gear shift varies



So to save costs and since its unlikely Ill do a 2nd run of PP cpos the die I had made will be modified to accomadate these differences

And for those waiting to purchase the Cpo with the instrument panel the cpos are almost out of stock
and like I mentioned above probably not enough interest to warrant a 2nd run at least not anytime soon.
so get yours now at ThisOldGame.com so your not left in the dust.


I've also been sent NOS sideart which I'm scanning now and will post a separate blog on that as well soon.

LOL!! Rich you are the Pole Position King. I think everyone should start putting money in the hat to buy you some form of PP for your own collection. :-)

Awesome, awesome work so far, and again thank you VERY much for taking on the Irish-made PPII cpos. You'll be making a lot of UK collectors happy with this one too. You'll be gaining worldwide recognition to boot :-)

You should have let me know for the cockpit and euro panel, I would have helped for the vectorisation :D
