That Blanka artwork looks sick, that is one of the best looking mods I have seen IMHO. Great work!

562

that is so awesome. in fact, itā€™s almost exactly the same as what i wanted to do to one of my namcos. same color scheme, only difference is iā€™m using project boxes. good job!

563

Donā€™t know if anyone answered you (I didnā€™t see a response) but the 2nd one is of Jam from Guilty Gear.

Hereā€™s mine that I finished literally a hour ago.

gorgeous wood!

565

@ Veridia, That looks like a TMO case man :expressionless: Is it? It looks beautiful O_O

566

Itā€™s a Norris case :slight_smile:

567

I thought so, beautiful as usual!

568

there isnā€™t a norris case that i havenā€™t liked, especially the hardwoods. they make me drool.

569

heh. i guess weā€™re both using that incredible template he provided then.
Did you print it with the original light colored blue? It seems to come out REALLY dark and hard to see the BB logo. Nice still though. Great woodwork.

Edit: is it high enough resolution to read the writing? I added some small text as well on my version, to include hakumenā€™s battle quote. can you read it? if not, itā€™s okay, cuz it looks sick regardless.

570

dope shit.

I have a namco sitting on my desk right now. Itā€™s gutted though, no PCB. It does have sanwa buttons and JLF with Hori shaft, and I hate it. I wish I could just not touch the JLF, and mount it better.

571

that is some coooool blanka artā€¦

572

I already posted a few pics of my stick awhile back.

But I put a little video together.

Itā€™s just a HRAP EX with art and new buttons and ball top.

Itā€™s my first real arcade stick, been wanting one since at least 1993.

573

Seeing people using my template makes me warm and fuzzy insideā€¦ :slight_smile:

574

thanks guys, i borrowed a couple of elements from several different templates mixed and matched and changed the color schemes to match the green beast ! Thanks to all guys for your excellent templates ā€¦

Anyway here are a couple more

:looney: link to those cable carriers? i wouldnā€™t mind grabbing those on my next MC Cthulhu.

576

SEIMITSU inside

577

OMG thatā€™s hot.

i want to put one of those on my sticks.

Any chance for multiple colors of that logo? I could honestly use one in Pink, Blue, and Green. Greenā€™s covered right there though.

578

Hey everyone,

I got another creation which I completed yesterday. I was waiting for some buttons etc. which finally came through.

This time as you can tell its BALROG! I have noticed a sudden increase in the number of players who use him. So I thought I would give him a go and he is pretty bad ass! SO have to build a stick dedicated for him.

The case is infinished in an extremely bright white with candy blue centre stripe and red marbolised stripes either side. They appear black but when the light hits it it turns blood red.

The theme for the art work was balrogs boxing (obviously) so I designed a boxing ring with dead bodies in the ring who have been knock the f**k out. the blood reference is in relation to his moves such as turn punch, dash punches etc. Also added some bloody foot prints in the middle for good measure.

Installed Sanwa stick and push buttons except for last two buttons which are seimitsu as you can tell.

On the back I wanted to do something a little different, so I installed an image behind blue tinted acrylic of Balrogs ā€œmoney boxā€ as he is always concerned with his fight money!!!. Threw an autographed photo in there aswell.

Let me know what you thinkā€¦

Any suggestions for my next stick would be kindly appreciated. (I cant decide who to base the next one on)

I like the hori shaft w/ sanwa base personally =)

NE8MC-1 is the one I used in that pic

but if you screw up and forget to put the back end on before the rj 45 connector (like I did on my ps2 cable =/), you prob should stick with the NE8MC

-B just means its black instead of silver.

That boxer stick is fking retarded sick! That definitely ranks with the most creative sticks Iā€™ve seen since Iā€™ve been around hereā€¦ Are you just making these for fun or are you selling them or what?
