Oh yeah baby, I'll show you my stic....oh wait, you mean like a controller. My bad.

i just got mine yesterday

Does anyone know how to get oil based paint off of laminated art? I painted my basement recently and some of the paint for the ceiling got on it, so far a damp cloth doesn't do the trick lol.

I finally ended up settling on a design that I really like... What do you guys think? 
 

So I just ordered a 360 TE  Round 2 stick. Is there a guide somewhere with general tips on customizing? What kind of paper to use, how to find high res art, templates, etc. Any help would be great. (Hopefully this is the right thread for a question like this)

That's purdy. 
 
Here is my SE with the Asian Tournament Edition-style template with a fake bezel! Stock stick and Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons. 

I bought a PS3 fight stick last summer, really nice stick for the $40 I paid.
 
A couple of weeks ago I grabbed two 360 fight sticks from Walmart for $30 each. I decided to mod one of these with Sanwa parts, wish I had done it to the PS3 stick when I was playing heavier, so much better.  
 
Pretty standard mod, JLF stick, SWF buttons. Threw on a mesh ball top and a dust cover with arrows on it from Lizard Lick. I kept the buttons the same colour as the stick came stock, but I am considering ordering some to match with the 360 layout for the hell of it, plus it would give me the extras to throw in my PS3 stick.   
 
I would post a picture of my stick but it would be pretty underwhelming. Maybe once I get those buttons and do a custom art inlay, I need to recruit the help of my buddy who is pretty good with Photoshop and happens to work at a printing company first though.
 
Now if I was any good at the game, I spent all this money on upgrading parts, time to practice I guess.

If I could ever get a fightstick this is what it would look like. 

Kind of as an update to this blog post I made, I finally finished making my arcade stick mostly from scratch. I bought Plexiglas case parts at Art's Hobbies and I bought a wired Xbox 360 controller in order to disassemble it, extract its PCB (printed circuit board) and solder the board to arcade controller pushbuttons and the joystick. The sides are all made of blue mirror Plexiglas with the bottom and the top being clear Plexiglas. The artwork is easily changeable, so I kind of consider it temporary. Pics: 
 

favorite giantbomb thread.  This always makes me wanna go home and play some street fighter or marvel vs. capcom.

" @FluxWaveZ: Wow man, awesome stick. How much did the whole thing run you? "

Just your typical TE stick on the outside, but what I really wanted to show off are the guts of it. Its a dual-mod fightstick using a Multi-Console Cthulu board.

I'm new to the community. Just wanted to throw my fightstick into the bunch.  
Dual modded Xbox/ps3 
 
The design is by me 
and the plexi was bought from art's hobbies GET THE LASER ETCHING!

Trying to make a stick from this sexy ass template I requested.Props to the artist.
 
 

I bought SFIV when it came out and played it for a week or two, but got bored because it was way to hard to use the Xbox controller. Now I'm listening to a bunch of old Bombcasts and hearing them talk about fightsticks and all that's making me excited to play it again. So, my question is: what are your recommandations for what stick to buy? Knowing nothing about fightsticks I don't really know what it is I'm supposed to be looking for.
 
Thanks!

Hey guys, I bought a HORI V3 SA and it got delivered earlier today! I am so happy, but man when they say it takes getting used to stick coming from pad, they really mean it! Expect an amateur unboxing video to be uploaded soon!

" @Lilyvalley:  Get a Madcatz SE street fighter IV Fightstick and look up some modding tutorials online. Its not too hard to mod it, you can get the parts from lizardlick[dot]com. Projected cost for everything isn't cheap though, your looking at about 100$ for the fightstick and parts. "

as promised here's the amateur unboxing video of the Hori V3.   

This is my first attempt at modding anything. Its a TE with custom art ,buttons ,and a snazzy dust washer. 

I have this. Barely use it.
