[IC] SA Ectoplasm

[Zanduby]

Welcome to my Ghostbusters themed SA set interest check.

Of course once this all goes live i can't use any of the Ghostbusters stuff due to copyrights.

I am planning on doing split up of sets right now, and will have some novelties (WIP).

Kits is as followed:
- Alphas
- Mods
- Num Pad
- 40%/Ortholinear
- Ergo
- colevrak
- NordeUK
- Space Bars (6u/7u/Shift sizes)
- Community
- VIM
- Novelties

Profile SA (lets get this figured out)

Set will be produced by SP, still working on vendor right now.

Here is the picture that I have based this whole set on, a set of figures by Sideshow Toys that i wanted to pick up years ago.



And now the set (credit to thesiscamper for the renders)








Breakdown of the kits: I know i'm missing some items and some kits have a lot of extras. But please continue to let me know what you'd like to see.





 

[Chimera]

These look pretty good actually! Nice renders.

[nickaster1]

That is some next level renders

[voight-kampff]

looks really cool 

[Rob27shred]

This is sweet! I'm an 80's kid so you had my attention with the name "SA Ectoplasm", but after seeing the renders I feel like this a must have set for me! You definitely nailed the colors & it looks great IMO. I know you're gonna have to be careful with copyrights making this set, I gotta ask though, any chance of a Slimer (movie Slimer, not cartoon Slimer) novelty cap?

Slimer is on the books to be a novelty. I have some fun ideas, but again, just working on making sure none of them hit those copyrights.

[rioc]

reminds me of commando 23 a bit

looks nice though 

[dudethekid]

Oh hell yes. I need this in my life. Enter key should be the ghost trap. Proton pack can be shift. I'm so excited about this kit!

That’s a good design but doesn’t scream Ghostbusters or Ectoplasm to me, a bit too muted for my taste.

This looks like great, Zanduby! Love the novelty accent colors, and great renders as always from thesiscamper.

[KoalaKaiser]

Looking good! Can't wait to see what novelty ideas you have.

[wixxzblu]

I'll make my interest stamp right here! 

I love the muted military look, you can combine this kit with pretty much any light or green-grey case.

[bluesclera]

Need all green Fn keys.

[wixxzblu]

Need all green Fn keys.

What about a black/red FN key? 

Edit: i wooshed myself, i see now that you mean F-row keys.

[ProtonDecay]

I think this colorway either needs custom mods that are specific to the theme (like the github mods in Oblivion), or the colors would lend well to mixing multiple themes into the novelties (same way that Troubled Minds and EVA01 are one colorway)

[Puddsy]

this is neat

[Corgiattackkk]

Looks awesome. Love the different colored 'enter' button and the whole set looks great. I personally don't mind the two colored F-row keys.

[Jkush463]

looks awesome, deff interested

[jgodinez302]

I'm about it. Can't wait to see this shift into a GB 

[kivx]

nice.

[THRILLHOIAF]

custom colors or SP chip colors?
you think its possible to get the fluorescent/glow in the dark green Slimer/Ghost novelty key?


renders look fantastic btw, Thesiscampers work is nuts

[Zanduby]

whats the sculpt? SA, finalizing uniform.
custom colors or SP chip colors? Custom.

[nerdblog_io]

I would like to see these in circulation!

along with some ghost busters themed artisans!

[dsaf]

I like the colours. Will there be a UK kit?

[Zanduby]

NordeUK kit, yes.

[lovetree]

Please do "RETURN" not "ENTER"

[hhkbp2]

I think it should be "W" instead of "M" in the 4th row of Colervak kit. And please add R3 homing keys "NTHU" with deep dishes for this kit.

[SeedyOne]

I need it to go with my Proton Pack. When hobbies collide! 

[DMacKB]

I really dig the idea and the way you sourced the palette. I feel like the black doesn’t ait in well when it’s used in such a small area, especially when that’s the only hit of red.. i dig that you got it from the  red name on black in their uniforms, but that black is balanced against the bulky black tech gear. I’m trying to think how to crack it. Mainly it needs more presence, like a black numbad to balance it, or black and green alternating f row blocks. I really like what you’re going for with it.

[AlexAtPanc]

Looks really good! Looking forward to hearing more.

[Treasure]

Really cool, Any novelties are planned ?

[Zanduby]

Yep! Just waiting for my guy to get back from vacation and then i'll have them up.

[Asbrodeus]

You have this listed as 3-1-2-3-4-3 but the renders look like 1-1-2-3-4-3 what is the profile going to be?

[SeedyOne]

Renders are not accurate in profile, just go by what he has listed 

[jrfhoutx]

I'd like to see a 1.25u and/or 1.5u Caps Lock key, for those of us who switch the caps and control. sets always have a 1.75u control key, but never a 1.25 or 1.5u caps lock to go with it.

[hhkbp2]

It's rare but it included a 1.25u "SHIFT LOCK" in Jukebox R2 non-standard kit. I guess its absence is due to the numerous variants and corresponding cost raised for all variants. It usually sits on the 1.75 R3 position for "CAPS LOCK" and "SHIFT LOCK". Once they are moved out, they could be out of the picture, which happens in 7u spacebar hhkb layout; they could be switched to the position of bottom row 1.25u, 1.5u, or even 1u. The later requires 3 more keys added for full coverage, which will raise the cost significantly.

I Want novelties.

[Zanduby]

I Want novelties.

They’re coming soon!

I will update with full kit soon. There def are some keys missing I want to add.

green F1-F4 & green F9-F12.

[AaronR]

Im not sure about doing icon mods for the Mac keys as there they don't fit in with the other mods then. super happy to see a Mac kit for once.

Any chance you will reconsider the new profile? I can understand bottom row 3 or uniform row 3, but top row 3 I just don't get...

[Zanduby]

Yes, i am willing to reconsider. What profile would you suggest in its place?

[jrfhoutx]

Probably 112343 or 112344

Honestly there are other keysets in 312343 (Some of the more well known and sought after SA sets, like Pulse R1, Modern Selectric, or Hack'd), It's not an unheard of profile, just not as common as 112343 or 112344.

And that is where i was coming from when originally wanting to do that profile. I liked the older layout to those sets. But i also understand things change and i'll certainly think about changing it.

It's your set, so I'd say do what you want with it. But consider the possibility of just adding a compatibility kit that is just the F row in whichever row profile you decide not to make part of the base kit

Ok i will certainly do that. Thanks!

I used to like 112344 until I realised that the SA spacebar(s) will still be R3 (unlike e.g. MT3 profile that has it sculptured in R4) until someone pays for new mould(s). So probably 112343?

Interesting, would it be possible to also make it an all-green flex-kit? Unless it should be a separate kit.

[pixelpusher]

OH, I just realized the space bar is not the same color as the alphas.  It's a light gray.  I guess that is a reference to the belts and elbow pads on the uniforms?

Indeed. Gives it a unique touch imo.
