Kaytrim's Kustoms Back in Action
Kaytrim:
Hidy Ho all and welcome to the announcement of the first model for Kaytrim's Kustoms. This is still in the prototype stage but I am at a point where you can see the beginnings of how this little beauty is going to look in the end.
I wanted something slightly different from the run of the mill square box sticks. So I decided to get a little out of line with some angles. The pieces you see here are all joined with dowels and no glue (yet). I still have to figure how I am going to do the corners as they are mitered cuts instead of butt edges like the top is. Even there I have to deal with the angle. The front face will be under the CP top and will not be at an angle but square to the top. I went this way because the CP front edge is going to be cut in an arc.
The prototype is no longer in existence. It has been dismantled for parts.
Kaytrim:
Now I already have some artwork setup for these little prototypes. I am going to make two. The artwork has been done by an felow member here on the boards. DarthGatsu
Street Fighter is one of my favorite game series so it makes sence that I use one of my favorite characters from that series, Blanka. My other favorite character is E. Honda who is on the other overlay.
I will be using Happ controls for one of these prototypes and Swana for the other. I'll keep you posted on the progress as I go so be on the look out for new and interesting designs in the future.

Liking those angles man! I want one. Maybe if we could get Melissa to get your little plaques done we could talk about a trade, of course she probably thinks we don't need anymore sticks around the house...psst women.
:laugh2:
Again nice job so far, can't wait to see these completed... :applaud:

Well tell her to start cracking the whip there dude. >:D I sent her an email yesterday or the day before but haven't heard back. I know that the project is difficult for her to do because of the size but I am also not asking for 100% perfection either.

Ok another minor update. I drilled out the buttons holes and found that they were too close and I couldn't get the button nuts on all of them. Good thing I haven't glued the panels together yet. I've said it before I'll say it again, "I Like Bondo". See the first pic I have filled in the holes using bondo. This stuff hardens quickly and sands smooth and clean.
In the second pic you can see that I have the front piece cut and installed as well. I also cut and placed the Blanka overlay to see how it all looks. I think that I will paint this one green with green controls.
