Man Omega-Ox and ecKsniNe, both of you guys have some very nice looking sticks. Congrats!

722

Billygoat,

I like that acrylic panel. Whereā€™d you get it from if you didnā€™t make it?

723

Most common ones Iā€™ve seen are the A type plug on one side and B type plug on the other - reversible of course.

724

okay, so I dont have to buy a special nuetrix USB wire or anything? I can just buy a normal USB?

thanks

725

Correct. The Neutrik plugs use standard USB connectors.

726

thanks manā€¦

are they any other USB outlets on the market besides the ones neutrix sells?
Iā€™ve only found one website that sells the neutrix outlets, so i wanted to shop around a bit.

Anyone know of any?

727

I think you can get them at mouser electronics and amazon if thats your problem. Iā€™m sure there are other places

728

try digikey, mcmaster carr, allied electronics, newark electronicsā€¦

Just got my etched TE Extended plexi-glass from Artā€™s Hobbies today. I had a separate piece of artwork behind with red eyes for the bullets and a red Shadaloo logo, hoping theyā€™d shine through the etchings clear parts. It worked out great!

730

dude, that came out SO sick! See, told ya, black background ftw :stuck_out_tongue:

What did you mean about the red eyes/etching? Which part is etched? And do you have 2 pieces of art on there or something, I didnā€™t get what you meant by that.

731

Nice HR Giger artwork. Classy! I donā€™t think you shouldā€™ve altered itā€¦ but its still cool!

732

as I understand it, white parts are etchedā€¦ the red in the background is on the printā€¦ gives it a sense of depthā€¦ like sunken eyesā€¦

733

Thanks, and you were right. I like it cleaner like this.

As for the art, the white gun and skeleton stuff is actually etched/carved into the plexiglass but you canā€™t do any color that way. So I sent Art an all black background with red dots for eyes and the Shadaloo logo/splash to put under the etched plexiglass. That way you can see them sticking out for a little contrast.

Thanks and yeah, I went back and forth on that decision quite a bit. I wanted to add a touch of color and that was the least intrusive to his original art that I could think of. I think if I had to do it over again, I might do the entire thing in black and white but this is really growing on me :tup:

734

Wow, that really came out great- it all blends into one piece of art, I totally canā€™t tell that itā€™s separate. The etching probably comes out even better in person.

Good stuff man, top notch :tup:

735

Very nice stick Seedy. Loving how the background meshes with the etching.

736

I really like that stick. It makes me want to mod mine. Dark yet clean.

737

Thanks bro.

738

Iā€™m going against the grain, I donā€™t have a stick yet, but Iā€™ve ordered it and have the art ready to go. Iā€™m so excited that I just had to post it.

Its going on a TE stick. Iā€™ll post the whole thing when Iā€™ve got it good to go. Art by Raeli.

739

Now thatā€™s dedication! I hope you got in on the $99 TE stick deal this past weekend :tup:

740

Naw I didnā€™t :sad: I did get it for like 20 less than MSRP.

The more I look at it, the more I canā€™t wait to get this thing ready. Iā€™m finding out how to get it on, etc. Getting the plexi too. I have my move at the bottom by my name.

And props to all who posted in here. I see deliciousness erā€™rwhere. :tup:
