Ok guys, I still have nothing new to report. But I did want to let you know that MD will be a last resort.
I would also like to wait and see if JTK opens up to community buys in 2016. Because GMK doesn't have the right colors for this set and would require custom colors from them and I wouldn't be able to get my Windows v1 logo for the OS keys. And SP's DCS isn't what I want for this GB.
This is one of my dream sets, and I'm willing to take the time it needs to be done right.
On a side note. I'm working on a new project that will probably be done with SP DCS dye-sub caps. I'm still working on all the legends, so it's still a work in progress. But please come and have a look, and give me your feedback.
