New Astro City Stick Complete!

I've finally got some time today to post up the pictures of my most recent completed Arcade Stick project. I am extremely excited with the look, feel and play of the stick. My friend VMS from http://forums.shoryuken.com helped me out with the design of the artwork, he specializes in replication of Japanese style arcade cabinet art.

I went with the Astro City design but had VMS put his own personal flare on it to make it a bit more creative. I chose to go with Green as my underlying color. I was able to finish this thing just about 30 minutes before my first ever EVO Street Fighter 4 match but I'll go into that more later. For now here are some pictures of the completed project!

Hardware Used in my stick:

Joystick: Sanwa JLF - Octagonal Gate - Green Balltop
Buttons: Sanwa OBSN-30 - Green Pushbutton
PCB: Toodles Cthulu pc/ps3 board with USB interface.

My next goal is to make a twin of this guy except black with pink buttons! Then I'll have matching sticks for head to head battle on any flavor of Street Fighter. Stay tuned for more completed stick building projects.
