More arcade joysticks!

Well here's a much nicer set of photos of the Silent Hill arcade stick:

I've got it up on Ebay, and in the Game Trades forum if anyone is interested. Its cheaper if you get it through the game trades.

I've gotten an order from CrypticCat here on 2old2play, and I thought I'd post a couple of WIP pics to show everyone how thats going. Lemme just say, I hate Rustoleum spray paint. It goops up way too easily. GOD BLESS KRYLON! I will never use another brand spray paint ever again. Krylon is my salvation.

The top piece has been sanded and is ready for a new coat of paint. The rest of the stick has 2 more coats of gloss black and then a sealer before its done. That'll take place today thanks to Krylon's freakishly quick drying times. (15 minutes max).


(stick unfinished, with plexi)

 


The Silent Hill stick & Cryptics stick for size comparison. Cryptic got the "Grande" style stick which is about an inch or so bigger all around to accomodate more buttons.

With the awesome blue Happ competition buttons set in. This is really coming together nicely.

So steps to finish -

-Paint
-Seal
-Attatch bottom plexi & rubber feet
-Mount hacked controller & wiring strips
-Apply artwork
-Apply Plexi
-Place buttons & mount the joystick
-Enclose case

Sound like alot of steps....but those last few are just the finishing touches and actually putting the case together.

Thats it for now. You all have a good weekend.
