Here it is with the new plexi & art that arrived this week.
The start & select are Hori & don't fit well - soon to be replaced with Sanwa (& better colours).

Also the Red balltop will be replaced with one of those nice seimitsu transparent swirly ones.

You might not be able to see but the plexi has the PS3 button symbols etched beside each button.



sorry about this pic, tad blurry as camera was handheld in rubbish light.
Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

Nice job maelgrim!  Where is the image from, looks final fantasy/ vampire hunter D styles.

Doh, I think I jizzed...

Damn just put the camera away :)
I'll get a better shot tomorrow in some natural light.

But yeah its fantasy - the pic is by John Howe who is more famous for his Lord of The Rings art (including being a concept artist for PJ's films).

I didn't have to do much as I got Art (the guy's name) to cut the image to match the plexi top. Will & Lenny also got some Plexi's so will be cool to see what they do.

edit. here is the site for those interested

Daym looks nice, Ive still got to get artwork done, have a few ideas in mind. How did you go with the joystick? Cause there is a screw plate underneath the TE panel which isnt on the plexi so im just wondering about that, ive seen a pic of a HRAP with a thick piece of plexi with holes drilled into it and place under it, dont really want to get that done tho.

The stick is the original HRAP Sanwa JLF.
Once HRAP opened up you can stick a screw driver into the bottom of the stick (for leverage) and then the ball will just screw off nice n easy.
Then you can slide your art & plexi over the top without the ball getting in the way.
The plexi sits on top of the orginal top plate - so the edges are no longer flush with the base - but no problem.

Anyway here is ART's instructions

Also here is a pic on ART's site of the button etching

But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.

I got it printed at the same place I got the plexi (so I knew it would be cut properly to match).
However there should be plenty of local printing companies that would have no problems doing what you need.
