Ep 79: Meet Gus with Steve Gouveia

Josh Roop and Scott Larson interview Steve Gouveia about his handcrafted Iron Maiden sarcophagus mod ('Gus') for Stern's Iron Maiden pinball machine. Gouveia discusses his creative process, sculptural techniques including silicone shrinking methodology, the engineering challenges of fitting the mod into the playfield, and his broader portfolio of Wizard of Oz mods. The conversation covers his transition from theater/music to pinball modding during the pandemic, his commitment to professional-quality custom work, and the labor-intensive nature of hand-cast resin production.
