Bump! Guys. I somewhat finished this!

I have decided NOT to spray paint the controller silver. I know, I know. The original one is silver, but mines a recreation, and the company who did the vacuum form for me advised me NOT to spray paint it silver. So they made it black for me. I had to bondo one part, but my sanding job did not go so well so, what happened was it was somewhat unsmooth. I ran out of paint, so I had to do someone...bad. I used black sharpie to temporary color in the bondo. I'll paint it soon, when I get cash and time. But for now, this baby is done. (Except the computer driver part. Im having problems with the analogs.)

It was my first time using Bondo, give me a break.

I'll get some pictures in a while. Gotta let the camera charge.

I based the design on the original PS3 controller and a photo of a cheap japanese controller made for PS2 that looks like the boomerang. I bought the cheap controller, made a few edits, took out the cheap japanese hardware, and put in real Six Axis controller hardware, and bondo'd over the unused buttons.

So, in other words I took a cheap ps2 boomerang look alike controller, and put a real six axis controller inside, and filled in some access button holes with bondo, and stretched the boomerang part, sent the design into a local company to get vacuum formed. So, I GUESS I sort of cheated but I needed a base design for the case, but I GUESS I didnt cheat due to it being all original hardware with some design edits. Tell me what you think. Pics coming soon.

I also made a news thread.
