^ Thanks Wheelgenius! There's absolutely NO way I could've made the wheel without yours and MarioGS' help. That wedge and token artwork is to die for. I only wish there was more trip wedges for New Orleans, Shopping Spree, Florida, etc....but I know you guys are busy and I know it's hard to make the wedges especially the ones that look identical to the ones used on the show. Anyways, I'm thankful for what I've been given!!

If anyone's interested, I got the paint from Walmart in the craft department. The brand name is Apple Barrel. It's super cheap at 50 cents a container. The colors I used are "palm leaf" for the green wheel center, "pool blue" for the blue stripes on the base, and "velvet crush" for the wheel base color.
It's funny the colors I used....they should like prize puzzles.

I'm nowhere near finished with my main wheel but I've already started thinking about how I'm going to redo my bonus wheel.
I want to use the basic standard (blue, light blue, purple wedges with yellow letters) layout but what color should I paint the base? Should it be silver or neon blue. Either way, I plan on also putting white/yellowish small dots around the base to simulate lights.
Input on the base color...??

How about neon blue for the top and silver for the edges.

After looking at your wheel I'm definitely gonna have to step up my game. It looks very well done, kinda jealous haha

I haven't finished my main wheel but I just couldn't resist working some on the bonus wheel. I still need to print out the new current layout (Thanks MarioGS for making it!), I also want to add yellow dots (lights) around the center light---by the way, that light in the center is just one of those push button lights that uses batteries....you can find them at Walmart or anywhere. Obviously, I also need to add the flapper podium.

Is that a touch light in the middle? If it's not what kind of light is it

Yes, it's a touch light. I still need to paint the edges of it silver.

The moment I saw the center, I knew exactly what you used. I've seen these things on those TV ads. I'm like, "Oh, man! That is so awesome!" Very creative! Nice job!

What would you say were the top used (6 or so) Gift Tags in season 32? I'm going to make new Gift Tags for my wheel and I want to make the most popular ones.
I know eBags and Maui Jim are probably among the most used but what are some others?

Amazing! You even spaced the flippers just like on the show, seven pegs apart. I made "cloudy" scoreboard backgrounds not too long ago. If you need them, I'll post them, but we still don't know if they're still using the "Wheel" background for gameplay.
