thought this was the next part to arq's bird series for a sec

edit: think it is better to specify next to the board renders whom the board is designed by - and spell out the name of the renderer separately, pretty sure Pensa is the renderer and not the designer of AB70

PBT struggles to do very saturated and bold colors. I'm curious how this will turn out

Why is there only one 3U spacebar and two 2.75U spacebars? Also why is there an additional 6.25U and 7U spacebar in the spacebars kit? 

I highly suggest you do this in ABS since you won't get the saturation you are expecting with PBT.

Glad you like the color, thanks so much for checking the set out!

This has actually been the most commented bit so far in all the IC replies and I'm already heavily considering changing. The colors are the most important part of this set so I'm already talking to Manu's about ABS.

I'd never actually seen those sets until now; love the bird legends on them.
Thanks for pointing out the designer/render names, I've gone ahead and changed them.

Why is there only one 3U spacebar and two 2.75U spacebars? Also why is there an additional 6.25U and 7U spacebar in the spacebars kit? 

I highly suggest you do this in ABS since you won't get the saturation you are expecting with PBT.

I think it's just visually off because the bottom 2 should be 3U and the while the one on top should be 2.75U. I'll make sure to add the U numbers when fixing these up.

As for why there are another set of the 6.25U and 7U, that's a very good point. I had originally wanted accent colors for these and didn't change them last minute, thanks for the catch! I'll make sure to change these when having the next batch of fixed renders.

Also, I noted it above but already heavily considering changing to ABS because the colors are the most important part of this set so I'm already talking to Manu's about ABS.

This is DCX Rocky Bird's long lost Brother set. I do like the vivid Blue & Black renders though wonder if this set would look accurate IRL in PBT. Is ABS plastic still under consideration?

Lovely blue color! The renders look great as well. Hope you can get samples to match your vision of the set.
Good luck with IC!
