@B15: Makes me wanna get into my creative side for some art for another fight stick. sigh I just need the cash for all this, lol.
WOW. best custom iâve ever seen. EVER.
wowâŚ
I agree with Tim, nothing better than an amazing builder making a stick after himself.
b15sdm that stick is tight! Great Job! The paint job is really nice!
b15, all your sticks look out of this world.
We made this for my girlfriend.
Itâs a little less refined, but we wanted something that wasnât black with images of Akuma on them. Itâs a padhacked 360 with Sanwa parts and was painted with watercolor then coated with varnish to tint it yellowish, the parts were picked after the paint dried so we could coordinate the colors. Box was a qcfgaming box that I did almost nothing to (probably should have sanded it).
I know it looks rough but thatâs kind of what we wanted. We wanted it to look like a painting done by hand, not graphics printed out. I think I like it more than my stick because it has personality.
Wow, looks like Iron man the stick, but in a good way there.
So, with the help of LuckyDay , I managed to learn (sort of) how to make a modded stick.

I used a Tekken 5 Hori, since it was my first fighting stick since Summer.
After debating between Sanwas and Seimitsuâs, I decided itâd be better to go with Seimitsuâs since it would look better with the artwork. Surprisingly enough, I love how they feel compared to Sanwas (Donât get me wrong, Sanwas are awesome too butâŚ)
Lucky Day taught me how to basically put in the buttons and how the stick works all in a night, but I need to learn how to solder.
The next week, I got some custom art in by Hong, and some plexi which made it really look nice.

The buttons are GCNâs, and the stick is a JLF-Ultimate mod that I had Lucky Day do for me. I still have alot to learn, but I know the basics of stick modding now⌠I think the next one for me to work on is a Mayflash, Iâll be able to learn soldering with that one. Iâm happy with this stick though, I just need to put in a 360 PCB when I get the money.
b15âŚwow. just wow. that stick is fantastic. i like the docking station too!
some really great sticks in the last dozen+ pages.
b15âŚAre you fân kidding me.
That stick is unreal. Wow. Excellent job.
Looks awesome, but needs a dust washer (get one from Art).
I know what you mean by taking the rubber feet off etc but then it cant be moved without un-bolting it again. The guy who wanted the docking station wanted to be able to remove the TE with ease (without unbolting) as he has another standard TE and another custom hes getting from me.
Apparantly he has a special table he uses for playing on to which the dockin station will be bolted into.
With regards to the cableâŚI know I havent shown it, but you need to open the flap take the cable out and then sit the TE into the docking station. The cable just clears the edge of the station. I should have taken a pic of it showing this.
@everyoneâŚthanks again for the positive feedback!
B15: I am knew to the scene but I have to sayâŚWOW. If this turns into a hobby, I will be buying from you for sure.
b15sdm is a true master of the art.
Amazing work once again, mate.
I said it last time, but this is your best yet. I love the painted blue panels on the front.
Oh snap whitey, I dig that. A lot.
It looks so artsy. You should mount it on the wall when not in use!
as always, very very nice b15. my favorite part is the lightening, that looks awesome. keep raising the bar, man
Trust me, it will! Be fore-warned of the insane and expensive addiction that is- stick building.
You have been warned and so have your pockets, have fun!!! Welcome to SRK.
