just some more practice on the practice ball. I’m starting to get the hang of it!
Hey Ronin,

That’s some quality hand made shit!! Nice work
LOL I love that movie, watched it a football camp I think when I was a sophomore it was at the theater in the school. I laughed so hard because camp sucked so bad we called it HELL, two weeks of pure hell! I miss sports but not camp.
anyway thanks man. I am waiting on some good opaque thin paint, what I used there is a pearlized color and it is messing with the values too much. once I get the right paint they will look better, also I picked up a 10/0 brush today that thing is soooo small.
Its funny if I take my contacts out I can see really good an inch from my eye but after a ft It gets blurry, but it helps when painting small things. I am better at small painting compared to large paintings so I went ahead and started making a mini stick for myself that I am going to paint a crazy ass scene on. not sure what yet but maybe a Zelda Stick!!! I am also doing a iron spider man symbol ball top, that should be pretty cool got the paint today for it.
Damn, Ronin, that balltop is absolutelly amazing! This is some serious artistic talent invested on stick making! A true innovation!!!
As for Tamiya, it’s japanese. Ever tried Testor’s Modelmaster Acryl? They are nice to use with a thin brush. I found Tamiya WAY too thick to brush. When using it with an airbrush it works better because it needs to be diluted. Testor’s comes already thinner and flows really nice.
Another great acrylic paint used in models is Vallejo Vinyl Acrylics. I don’t get one of those in a long time, but I bought some from Mithril a few years ago. They are thicker than Testor’s but not as thick as Tamiyas. Great to work with, great covering. These same paints are sold as a different brand, but I just can’t remember it now…
Aye ^ I recall on procustomizers a lot of people diluted their paints because they usually airbrush everything.
They also use Testors, I forgot to mention that one haha.
I’ve found Tamiya really good for like, overall coverage, like if you’re doing really really big work that requires it. If you’re doing balltops though with such fine lines, you definitely would need to dilute it.
I’ve always adored Tamiya since they do translucent paint :3
all those paints are good I need to get some of that Tamiya paint to try it out. I like testors alot I use it all the time. but what I have found to be a really good paint for thinning and painting small things is the Createx paints. you can thin them down and build up your values with layers it is the same dry brush tech I use in my oil painting. It works great for this too. I also use an old Italian painting tech that I learned form an old painting master. it is another method of building up values with thin layers of paint instead of one think layer of paint, it’s many layers.
New Big boy case I am working on!
O, de joy of a tale saw 
yes I love my tabe saw, it does most of the work lol. I didn’t go cheap either it cost me like 700 for it, still paying it off but happy I got the better one.
I’m very interested in these. How much are they and are they dual modded?
I make them to order so what ever you want determines the cost. 400 and up! I can dual mod as well. I don’t to mine because I don’t have an xbox yet but I am really thinking about it because of this psn crap. I make them custom to the customer, I make templates that they also ask for I am in no way trying to make money off of the art. unless I make it myself. the purchase is in the case and panels like I wouldn?t make a Cyber stick or a Dormammu stick for sale I would only make it if that is what the customer wants. one of a kind never a duplicate. Pm me if you are interested. Thanks bro
I would advise getting on it quick.
It took me a few months to get my order rolling as work this nice takes a good amount of time.
Looking good, Ronin. Is that one pretty much the same shape/dimensions as the one you put together for Jeff?
I know lots of people are fans of the slim sticks, but I’ll always lean towards the big boy cases. No homo. 
this one is a little smaller but pretty close. I made it a tad shorter too since I changed my top piece to a thinner piece of plexi to make the art work look better. this one with be a Thor theme and I can’t deside to make the sides stone or paint the helmets wings on both sides. I will figure something out though. I really need to make me one, like the other big boy case it is a perfect lap stick. with the size and weight it’s perfect for lap play. Also it gives you the option to house most sticks, jap and ameri. thanks
Lol bro I knew you were gonna stress that.

outside pics

light up before and after, turns on when pluged in.
Wow man! That looks dope! I may have you paint something for me
Damn Ronin that came out real Nice, really dig the light-up tag too =D
I didnt forget about you butter I got your one ball top rdy and the face ball is still on the back burner but I can send the one now if you like. oh and thanks bro. I also have found a new clear coat that is bomb just ordered a can of it to test but I think it is excatly what I need. It is call spraymax 2k(18 bucks) and the other one that is way better is R-M Aero max clear coat. but that one is 50 bucks a can. so I will try the spraymax first. Basically it will be as strong as a automobiles finish and that is what I need bad. I like dupli color paints but the Lacquer aint cutting it. I want the good stuff.
sweet I’m really glad you like it. I like it too lol. I will try and get the tag brighter so it really glows good. I used different led’s this time so I 'm not sure what resistor will give me what I need to get it closer to 3.5v
