Help on attaching grips

[Corporal Awesome]

I'm planning to use some 360 controller grips and trigger/bumper controls on my Air64. How exactly (what tools and supplies) would I do that? I'm going to be vac-forming a case, if that clears anything up.

EDIT: forgot to mention that by "grips" I mean everything from the bumpers back.

Picture for clarity:

well, if you are gonna vac form, just cut up a shell and put it on your mold, or add grips to your mold with clay or wood or something. seems pointless to vac form and then frankencase it.

That's actually a much better idea...

While I'm here, what kind of plastic is best for vac-forming and where can I get it?

i had the same idea with the dreamcast controller. it's just so comfortable.

As of right now, the third topic from the top.

best plastic for vac forming is polystyrene check USplastics for prices.

Triton, your case makes me sad.
Because mine won't be as epic.

all it takes is hard work and attention to detail. all of my cases look as good as they do because i spent a LOT of time sanding and filling and shaping
