Newest mod to my TE Stick.

Happ P1 and P2 buttons replacing the stock white Select and Start.

Yes I realize the P2 isn’t straight. They use mounting nuts and they don’t fit.

finally got one. It was broke and sitting in a garage. Now resurrected!

Namco owned before finding its way to me:smokin:

Very nice looking custom you have there. Much props to you and SteveTren!

NICE STICK! I see the name and think of Matrix Reloaded/ I’m jammin to Pandora and hear my favorite song from the Matrix. Today is a muffaken good day!

My friends call those the ā€œrestroom buttonsā€

The bison stick from #1380 has a sick ass paint job. Nicely done.

What kind of paint is that?

Finally finished painting and changing the parts of my TE and as a noobie to modding i guess it came out decent enough.
-Painted everything with Krylon Spray Paint
-Ordered the buttons and balltop from Lizard Lick
(did the twisted color look with 4 blue OBSF-30 with the stock white OBSF-30)
-Plexi and dust washer from Arthong
-Art printed at kinkos and cut out with an exacto knife
-Laminating sheets and adhesive spray for the cord compartment door

Hopefully this looks cool to you guys and any suggestions on how to polish Krylon spray paint? A nice glossy finish might make this look better :pleased:

That looks really cool, and I don’t even know what that art is from.

I kind of like it dull instead of glossy. But Krylon makes a clear coat if you wanted to give it more of a shine.

You know what…I think I’m gonna do just that. Didn’t even cross my mind that I could do that. :slight_smile:
Thanks for the idea. :slight_smile:

Aweome, thanks. Time for me to redo the stick a bit. Maybe I’ll save it until I’m ready to put a 360 PCB in there though…

Edit: Actually, that higher rez version just looks like its resized…

looks great

Nice did you use a stencil to do the chains?

Yeah, it is, sorry, thinking on it now, I chose the wrong words for it. I did use a program called Genuine Fractals to expand it, which helps to keep it from getting as blocky as a normal resize would make it. But I did make it 300dpi, which should improve the looks. Try printing it out on a regular inkjet before paying for Kinko’s to do it to test it out, see if its an improvement.

Thanks for the compliments and advice. Actually i did put 2-3ish coats of the Krylon clear coat and thats what helped give it that even look after painting but i was checking around here on some threads and i dont really remember where but someone said using Turtle Wax was ok but wouldn’t that just mess up my paint job in my situation? oh and to answer your curiosity about the theme its Black Rock Shooter.

Yes i did. Except i kinda got lazy making new ones for each separate chain and kept reusing the same original 3 i made and well after using it the 2nd time, i pulled it off and saw some paint had seeped under and so i had to repaint those mistakes with a small brush… so what i got outta that experience is make a new stencil for each paint job if you want it to come out problem free. Oh and thanx again for the compliment :smile:

GRAWAHLSFDFOAFOAWRDJC!!! :chainsaw:

Man Sephiru, what have you done! You could’ve gotten more use out of those parts if you sold them to me! :lol

But good work on at least keeping the stock Namco parts around. Those parts are seriously great!

toshinu, that is possibly the most outrageously beautiful mod I’ve ever seen done to a Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition! :wow:

Seriously, your paint job and color coordination are superb! That Miku sticker you put on the bottom metal panel is adorable too!

Goddamn, hottest TE mod i’ve seen, loving the paint job and the Black Rock Shooter art.

Finally finished my 2 TE sticks (although I’m going to get the Vewlix one re-printed a little lighter):

Thanks to everyone on these forums for all the tips and to everyone contributing art… And thanks to Arthong for the plexi

Also, sorry for the crappy iphone pics.

Nice, I like what you did with that BRS template.

Damn guy, I love what you did with your TE. I’m loving that sexy Miku art even more.
