I've been following this site for awhile now, however  I finally decided to join today :D  so this is my first real post.
This is an xda 1U cap that I want to share, I am still designing the final touches, so any input would be great  :thumb:

That is stunning! What alloy is it?

I have a few zinc/pewter? IBM caps from several years ago that have acquired a "patina" that is pretty well impossible to remove.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

Thank you I appreciate that you think it looks good.
I haven't made this keycap yet, I am still deciding on what materials and finishes to try out.
Hopefully I will have something made by next month.
