I really like The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I also like the cover of the omnibus edition that came out around the time of the movie, as such I think it only makes sense for me to make this kit.

5/1/17- Massive Massdrop Update
Update 5/1/2017, I know that those of you that have been waiting for this set have grown impatient, I just want to assure you that I am working hard and forging ahead to make one hundred percent sure that this set gets run and lots of people buy it. Admittedly there was a time after things fell through that I was considering giving up on this, but I took a step back and realised that not only was the project salvagable in terms of popularity, it could actually be quite big. So without further ado, here's the massdrop update.
6/1/17- Fullsize, 65%, 60%, Minivan example layouts updated to better represent current status of novelties. Numpad Kit updated, replacing the return text with Enter.
Novelties Updated; Infinity removed, white on yellow becomes black on yellow to better match text of set. Looks rough in 2d but should be much nicer in renders and irl.
7/1/17- 40% olkb set replaced with blanks due to google form feedback.

I used the (IMO) gorgeous dust cover from the 1995 Heinemann omnibus. Something about the way the planets and the galaxy were painted, and the simplicity of the letters set above just felt so classy. I've had the collection for over a year now but only recently did I realise that the colours would make a great set.

The cover in question.
Thanks. I suppose I should have realized from your banner in the op, LOL... and I take it the red/yellow was added from the Don't Panic colors?
Oh man!!
I am in. So in.
If there is enough love from everyone else and this gets made, I will build a board for these caps, not just put these caps on a board.
Patiently waiting.....

Stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
I was thinking something similar, but signing Slartibartfast under some acrylic.

As a follow up to my previous post of my custom case made for this set....... Here's the current build with temporary caps (SP DSA Borealis) until we can get Hitch Hiker's made! ;)
