OK so here is a list of the mods, two of them are from jr's tuts and the others are random ideas I had. I am doing this as I build so it probably wont be finished for a little bit based on the amount of free time I get.
Mods:
Tops rapid fire code
9mm - ABXY replacement
12g - D-pad cover replacement
7.62x54r - home button replacement
and finally triggers modified with 7.62x54r steel core bullets (no lead poisoning, thanks to being steel core instead of lead :tup: )
So here is what I got done today, sorry if the pics are big:

hopefully I will get more free time to get this done soon.

Very cool concept - looking forward to seeing the 9mm shells over the ABXY buttons and your shotgun Dpad.
-
Looks good , i like the way it fits, Nice job
-
Thanks, yeah it took a lot of grinding of that home button to get it to fit but im happy with how this came out. I should be able to get some work on the 9mm and shotgun cartridges tomorrow afternoon when I get a hold of a dremel and an air brush (for the paint job).
-
Little update, I got a hold of a dremel so I was able to make some headway: (again thanks JR for the tutorial and idea)
12 gauge d-pad:

case primed with clear plastic primer: (that little bit of blue is from the previous paint job that I couldn't get off, should be okay)

Should have it painted by tomorrow hopefully (at least base coat, might to airbrushing sunday) and will be working on the 9mm ABXY.
Started working on the rapid fire:
optocoupler wiring: (To make sure the RF chip turns off with the controller. Thanks RDC for the tutorial)

Wired up most of the rapid fire early this morning before goin to sleep: (just need to finish painting the controller to install the tactilesand mount the chip)
chip is at the bottom of the picture, I decided to make it removable for future updates.
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb302%2Fmetalgear004%2F9867dd32.jpg&hash=fb28fe380c91707ebd69a851c881938963c7758a)
Painted the controller:
(this is the final color, going to accent with darker tan or brown on the bottom piece and bumpers, not enough surface area for good digital camo with out makign it look crowded)

Cut the 9mm ABXY:
(was much more difficult then JR made it look haha but I think it turned out good)
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb302%2Fmetalgear004%2F1d2ffb5f.jpg&hash=4b14b5c803194b40539be3dbfe26cde14bd4ce9e)

Coming together fairly quickly so hopefully it will be done by tomorrow (not going to clear coat until tomorrow, going to give the paint time to fully dry)
On a side note now I know who everyone is talking to ir about whe n Isee domo smackin the smiley face haha.
-
It looks great! just wondering what rapidfire u installed into it?
-
Thanks, yeah it may not look like it from the pics but its been fairly tough process, its fun haha. I am actually installing Tops rapid fire V2 Rev 7, i chose it for now because it is good proven code however I did make the chip removable so I have the option to test other codes also as long as they use the same pin outs as tops.
-
Here is the mock up of the painted controller shell. The edge pieces look orange but they are more of a light brown leather color, I think it came out good though.
(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fbb302%2Fmetalgear004%2F3235b831.jpg&hash=5d87b0c93e9bb9102fff449c9513f363e260e636)

-
Whew, finally finished my controller. Had some frustrating moments and noticed there are some tiny out of the way spots that didnt get painted fully but not significant for me to redo it. All in all I am very happy.
Again the mods are:
Tops rapid fire code
Paint - tan/light brown
9mm - ABXY replacement
12g - D-pad cover replacement
7.62x54r - home button replacement
and finally triggers modified with 7.62x54r steel core bullets (no lead poisoning, thanks to being steel core instead of lead)
^ just couldnt get it designed right, might try it later
all pics and vid are off my phone so sorry for quality

Wow this thing is awesome!! :tup:
-
Thank you thank you glad you like it, it feels good to get my first real mode done and working haha
-
finished product looks great man.
how does the paint feel?
-
For that being your first mod, i give it an A+++! looks very good bro.
-
hey u know it looks awesome did u know theres a certain bullet that fits on the analogs i just started seeing them on ebay
-
Thank you thank you
finished product looks great man.
how does the paint feel?
It feels just like the original plastic, though I am letting it sit for about a week before I really start using it to make sure the clear coat is completely dry.
For that being your first mod, i give it an A+++! looks very good bro.
Hopefully this is just the beginning of my modding endeavors [evil laugh]
hey u know it looks awesome did u know theres a certain bullet that fits on the analogs i just started seeing them on ebay
interesting interesting, I am intrigued I will need to look at that
-
Looks really nice, man. I like the guide button, there are quite a few shells that will work with that method...
hey u know it looks awesome did u know theres a certain bullet that fits on the analogs i just started seeing them on ebay
It's just people putting 12Ga shells on the analogs...
Cut the 9mm ABXY:
(was much more difficult then JR made it look haha but I think it turned out good)
See, I'm glad someone else has said it's not the easiest thing... they look really good though, you did a good job with them :)
when I was selling them everyone said I was charging too much because the mod was easy... sure it was, which is why I see so many people making their own 9mm ABXY buttons... [/sarcasm]
-
Yeah you should be able to fit any casing pretty much up to that one in there ( I had to shave the guide button walls pretty thin)
I thought about using 12ga on the sticks but I didnt like how it was gonna go together.
I think anyone who says cutting those shells is easy then they obviously haven tried, I admit it did look easy but an hour and many metal shaving in my eyes says otherwise haha maybe if you had a really steady hand and a good way to mark off the cuts. Its just a really tedious process.
But it means a lot that you like it since I got all the insperation from your tutorials haha :tup:
-
the problem with that casing is that the rim is wider than the base and the base isn't as wide as the actual guide button, so when you make a direct replacement like the 9mm ABXY buttons it doesn't fit properly and is really loose in the guide button ring. there are a few casings that will work as direct replacement similar to the 9mm, but they can be expensive to buy empties and at least one of them is a fairly rare wildcat cartridge... unless you're a military sniper...
and yeah I do have a process to make things a little easier/faster that I didn't share in the tutorial, but nothing crazy, just standard masking and marking methods...
-
True, my roommate happens to have a mosin nagant so we have plenty of empty 7.62x54r casings. All of the rounds in my controller were fire by me or a friend so I didnt buy any just for this, i kinda like that sentimental factor haha.
my abxy buttons were prolly done as a complicated and dangerously as they could have been with the tools I had haha but it can be done just with a little more work.
-
Whew, finally finished my controller. Had some frustrating moments and noticed there are some tiny out of the way spots that didnt get painted fully but not significant for me to redo it. All in all I am very happy.
Again the mods are:
Tops rapid fire code
Paint - tan/light brown
9mm - ABXY replacement
12g - D-pad cover replacement
7.62x54r - home button replacement
and finally triggers modified with 7.62x54r steel core bullets (no lead poisoning, thanks to being steel core instead of lead)
