Not abandoned or forgotten, but definitely on hold for the time being. I'm hoping to find some time to give this more attention, but I want to avoid organizing a buy half-assed because of other commitments.

Feedback is still very much welcome. As of right now, the results for the poll are 2/3 for top-printed and 1/3 for front-printed.

[cirrus82]

That's fair, thanks for always keeping us in the loop whenever someone gets their AZiMUTH craving into high gear. Like mine is right now.

[roostrc0gburn]

can we update the colors to the current GMK palette? i think this will mean UN6037 --> TU2.

You may be right. KLE is a bit finicky for color accuracy. Although more of an amber would match the 1530, I went with the N6 because it seemed closer and is a dead ringer for the yellow on the first generation Compass. It would also avoid just reproducing the V2 on N9 from SkiData+.

How could anyone not love this?

You were totally right with picking N6. Cheers. Carry on.

Is it just me?

The base color of caps on both photos looks not much like N9 but more like CR to me.

actually, yeah. it does look like the base color is black in all the pictures. personally, i would like to see this done with N9 base, though.

[nemoy]

This set looks great!

[Fullcream]

I need this. I Have never joined a GMK full set gb ever because I've been waiting for something like this.
If and when you do this my vote is top print and front print only for bottom row as someone else said earlier.

[Potatoes]

I could use this in my life.

[FoC_Tow]

+1
Also top printed all de wai bb

[reijikyosuke]

+1 w/ Top printed is the only way that I want.

Welcome back OP. I thought this was forgotten already.

[bkw1209]

I still want it.

[MacGruber117]

I want it SO BAD!

Welcome back OP. I thought this was forgotten already.

Good to be picking this up again. Part of the reason for the delay is that I don't have the experience or infrastructure to run this by myself, so I'm hoping to hear from people that have advice about running this through a vendor, or would like to work together to make this happen. I was initially worried about printing splitting interest, but the response for the set has been overwhelmingly positive so hopefully it can hit MOQ.

[ricyuyc]

interested

[ideus]

The idea of pad printed legends was not that bad at some point. But now, I am sure I do not want any pad printed one, unless it is on the side, where it cannot wear off.

concur

[KnightDX]

Will certainly be keeping an eye on this for a GB.

[roostrc0gburn]

any movement on this? i would love to see this get in the gmk lineup for 2017 before some of these other ICs that have been popping up

[alienman82]

removed.

same here.  SO many GMK sets, but this is about the only one other than Forge that I want.

i mean... there is yuri, oblivion, nautilus, and laser already lined up but yeah, i would like to see azimuth and forge as well

[audax989]

I am still hopeful this set will eventually come to light

[hoq]

Really hope this will happen soon. I love this theme and design.

[roostrc0gburn]

ping for 2018 gb...

[ideus]

The last post of the OP was back on March. It seems improbable this takes off any time soon.

[audax989]

Maybe someone needs to take over.

[tintoret]

The last post of the OP was back on March. It seems improbable this takes off any time soon.

For the record, I'm still around. I'm hesitant to move on this, in part because the aesthetic is pretty dependent on top secondary legends that could only be implemented through pad printing, which is generally unpopular, and in part because there has been a massive increase in the number of GMK sets run/proposed compared to when this project started, which is a hurdle in terms of meeting MOQ absent support from a vendor with better exposure and infrastructure. If there are any vendors interested, or if anyone has contacts that might be, I'd love to Take this forward. But it doesn't seem like something I could do individually.

Facts are undisputed. I just hope somehow this can move forward, as it is a very special color way.

[Rodde]

I understand why this was shelved, but I hope this makes it someday! Looks pretty unique.

Bug Sherry. I bet he'd be interested.

[oisw]

I'm at a loss for finding a set for my new board, came across this and would really love for it to live. Taking into account any downsides, I'm in if it gets going.

[MacGruber117]

I want this set so bad! With these kickass renders you could generate enough hype on r/mk to put a vote on Massdrop. Make this happen!!!!!!

[roostrc0gburn]

omg i almost forgot about this. YES. please resurrect this project or pass it to someone who wants to see it done right

Massdrop? Bad idea, unless you live within ConUS

Yeah, but they are the most wide reaching and with 2 duds in a row, they'll want a good keyset in their queue

Or maybe they will have 3 duds in a row. I don't see the point of keep giving them second chances like this. This feels like an abusive relationship.

It's because they get the most traffic. Most people aren't confident dropping $200 on a Google form, with a small keeb company that's seemingly run by one guy. Their GBs are always the largest

The non-US communities really like it as well, since there are buyer protections and such

i know it's particularly popular in korea

I hope the IC still live enough to get the GB thread.

I hope it too. It is doubtful though. The thread has not had any update in months so far.
