I have a custom Japanese Emerald Blue gamecube controller with a small cutout of a magic card placed over the nintendo gamecube logo. I forget exactly which card it was, but there's these severed hands roughly the color of my controller crawling across the ground, one of them has a knife. It's pretty badass.

I think ou mean "Severed Legion"

2collorless, 1 Swamp
It has Fear and is a 2/3

-edit out-

i'll pm this

 

[Flamestar666]

so now that my paint mealted, i cuold have done a few things.. being the smart guy i am, i spray thr things down with reflective paint...

so now, if heaslights shine into it, it'll be visible.

 

[Sizzle]

My newest project was to take my black controller and make it shine. I gave it a black paint job and the oh so sweet clear coat. Then I painted the buttons red. I would like to present what I call ESPN the Controller (cause it looks just like the ESPN Mobile Phone)

My controller feels like the paint is gonna come off. It's not though. It kinda sticks to your hand, and if you smell the controller, it still smells like spray paint, even a month later.

If I modify in the future, how do I prevent his?

i'm gonna sand mine down and use high heat, impact resistant paint.

[Heart Break Kid]

even though mine has been assembled for about a few days i have the same problem as delorted.

 

[Dr.ROC]

Just got my screwdriver today, hellz yea! I got all the materials and am about to ppaint. Can't post pics though, haven't got a digital camera.

 

[Vasilicus]

Lol, the farthest I've ever gone as far as modifying and decorating is I put some tap on my wavebird and drew a four leaf clover in it, and now i rub it whenever i need luck. It works!

 

[Skylink]

Ok, I repped relax for thanks a long time ago, but I'm having lots of trouble getting my hands on a tri wing. I'll post pics it when it finnaly arrives. (the tri wing, pics of the controller)

nice sounding controller and that card is called severed legions i do believe. (now for the nerdy technical part...its a 2/2 creature for 1BB that has fear)

 

[Kubba]

Hello,
It's finally done and ive got some pics to prove it!!
Here she is, sanded and primed

and there's the paint sprayed on

all nicely assembled

Sadly, the c-stick got chipped badly so i replaced it with a control stick from another controller
(left Gray for aesthetic reasons)

So, What do you guys think
oh yeah and you two above me with the modded controllers nice work, loving the ESPN one
--Kubba

MY THANKS TO YES! AND RELAXIMAPROFESSIONAL FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER

 

[YOSHIDO]

Yooo i Have to do that.

 

[Sizzle]

Nice job, I like the color

 

[Banks]

i dipped my controller in a paint bucket and it works fine roffles

 

[todd888]

eh what do you think for my first try???

 

[yes!]

looks clean todd

 

[Sizzle]

Todd=my apprentice ^_^. He needs to post the pic of his white controller which looks ever so sweet.

 

[Pretendo]

I have a Platinum Controller, I like the colour, but I want to personalise it. How do I go about putting Letters or Symbols on the Controller without having to paint it at all?

 

[Wave Bird]

I would love to do a custom controller but I know I would terribly funk it up.

 

[Lab Rat™]

i did a little bit of advanced modding and came up with THIS!!1

P.S. that was just a joke, and that is NOT my controller (found it on ebay)

 

[Flamestar666]

photoshopped....

i bet it doesn't even exist, and he's trying to scam someone

 

[Schweppes]

Yeah, that pic is REALLY phake.

 

[Pretendo]

That looks photoshopped. The only way to REALLY do that is to have a LOT of skill with plastics.

Also can anyone please help me about placing letters or symbols on my controller?


EDIT: Just saw other part of text. It actually could be possible that it is a "Special Edition" controller thing.

 

[Lab Rat™]

uhh lol photoshop? no its not photoshopped. as for it being fake, ask the seller! http://cgi.ebay.com/SPONGEBOB-SQUAR...7QQihZ011QQcategoryZ41042QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[Flamestar666]

my latest controller
"Earth" colored

 

[Vasilicus]

I wanted to use a spray paint called "Rust-Oleum" and it is this sick looking wavy bronze color. Then i wanted to paint the SSBM symbol in Red on the place where it says Nintendo Gamcube. I am using a wavebird. Will this spray paint work? What other materials do I need? Where do I get clear coat and primer and what type would you reccomend for what I want?

Please reply QUICKLY.... I have until 4:00 Central Time before I go out and buy my materials.

 

[Flamestar666]

any paint will work if you get an acrylic clear gloss to go over it

 

[Sizzle]

Preferrably plastic paint. And I think I used Rust Oleum paint on my controllers so yeah it should work
