WHY THE HELL IS THERE NOT A LOVE BUTTON. JDM you should double post so i can like that again.
Thanks again, MarkMan. It’s a thing of beauty! The previews weren’t kidding when they said the thing was built like a tank!
Got the case today, and I’ve already got the Top and Bottom mapped out. I should have a PSD out in a couple of days (or tomorrow evening if I have enough time). There’s much to be done with this case 
I am returning more actively to the scene with a whole bunch o stuff! Will be updating my main thread in a few days =)
are you kidding me?! awesome! cant wait to use your templates! thanks a lot arthong!
Had some scraps left after working on some orders tonight so i decided to make sure a fanta would fit and check out some other things as well. I really love that madcatz keeps their cases relatively simple to measure up. It took all of 5 minutes to measure the top panel, maybe even less.
Good news, the Fanta and other k-sticks will fit fine for my custom metal panels but in this next closeup pic
you can see that there really isnt alot of room for other layouts. I can probably fit a hitbox layout on there but even a traditionally spaced astro looks like it would need to have some modifications.
Here it is at another angle
Also what you see in the front is something of a nameplate. Right now I just have some white paper behind it but this will make for some neat customizations especially because of the case transparency. I can see some really cool LED mods happening with etching on the nameplate.
This case is a beast however i am a bit suprised that with how big this case is that there is so little room on the inside for mods and whatnot. It does make some sense though because i believe MarkMan said that this case design is actually about 3 years old or something but it is a great case nonetheless.
There is still more to come for this stick but i just wanted to mess with some scraps that i had.
I will have the custom panel making template up next week sometime and the art template up possibly tomorrow.
Last thing, I dont have a pic of but I also had the slim cover on top of the panel and like with most other sticks the slim cover sits almost flush.
Hey guys, while not an official plexi, like with what art or blklighting will come out with, if you want to mess around wit seeing what art ideas are out there, I scanned the top piece and made a bit of a template.

And damn…modding this thing is a bitch! It was hard to figure out where to put the boards, but I’ll upload pics soon!
ohhh can’t wait to see front plexi/artwork and side artwork jobs
And, man, the LED/translucent case is one thing… but there’s so much more that can be done!
Mark,
I’ve been looking at this stick and I’ve been really thinking of a lot of possibilities with this thing, especially the side themed art pieces.
I’m resisting the urge for a second one for the theory idea I have that would be interesting when linked together.
are the sticks all sold out i dont see them on the website,if they are when will more be in stock?
Do you guys think you will be sold out sooon? cause i cant get one yet tilll middle of this month =(,i hope these badboys end up like the round 2.being around for awhile
Got a little excited working on the side panels for the VS, so didn’t get a chance to convert the files to PSD yet. I’m pretty sure by tomorrow evening I can have everything I’ve done so far, on PSD templates. Thus far the templates will include Top, Bottom Regular, Bottom Full, Sides and Center back piece.
Here are some quick pics on what you can imagine doing with your VS. There’s still a lot more experimenting to see what else can be done, so it will be an on going “work in progress” ;).
Bottom with regular metal panel outline.
Bottom with full coverage.
Some laser engraving/etching sampling on black acrylic.
Now with mirror acrylic and text cutouts.
Again, very beautiful fight stick. Very easy to personalize and make your statement.
Templates incoming!
Once everything is set, I will be putting an order in once my art is done!
art you are insane! those look so amazing! I can’t wait to use the templates!
Someone save one of these things for me. By the time I have enough loose cash for a stick I like, it’s always out of stock.
Very Very Nice. That gets 3 thumbs up :tup::tup::tup:
Top and NamePlate templates available. Side and bottom coming later
