Virtual On Twin Stick Project – Worklog 4
I’ve been stuck in an Internetless hell this weekend, cable modem’s died and the earliest Virgin can get to me is next Saturday 
Luckily I get into work nice and early which gives me time to write an update on this project!
My last update for this the twinsticks over 6 month’s ago, and took a bit of a backseat with all the Wedding preparation. At the time I also noticed one of the sticks had a busted microswitch which wasn’t really fixable.. Well now i’m back on with this again, another quickshot off eBay in hand.
Firstly, as per the pic above I’ve sprayed the sticks a nice matte black which looks way better than the NES grey they previously were. Still trying to decide on a trigger colour, thoughts?
Secondly, i’ve worked on the faceplate a little bit, previously I’d taken the original VOOT faceplate design and reworked into a shinier Xbox style. Now looking at it I’ve decided I want a darker version to match my Xbox Elite.
So here it is! It’s only a little darker but I much prefer the look. Going to send it off to photobox for printing, best get a few copies in case I mess up cutting holes for the sticks.
Going to have a look for some arcade buttons too, fingers crossed for a good colour match!

Good plan, may well have to invest in one 
pretty much sorted on the electrical bits thanks, had one stick working a while ago and need to get the second one soldered in – my soldering could be better! Might get stuck wiring in the arcade buttons though so watch this space!
Worked on Red Frame a bit this weekend but been piling a ton of time into another project that will remain secret for the time being! Your Zaku is looking ace, kinda hard to believe it’s only a 1/144 and that mono eye is gonna look badass switched on!

its not wired on this one. couldnt get the wires in a nice place on such a small model.
the 1/100 will be though, when i save some more money.
split the skirt last night as well,just dont have a drill bit small enough to make the hinge,but i will sort that this aft!

Ah yeah that’s true, guess it’d be a lot easier if it had a big backpack like the gundam ground type! I have the MG Zaku 2.0 which I got way back in 07, plan on doing some serious battle damage and weathering on it!
