I only purchase the polished finishes and if I ever got another material, I would polish it myself. I'm not a fan of the unfinished plastic look.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread. I saw your Star keycap a while ago and I liked it.

JinDesu · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 22 April 2014, 10:22:21 »

Is the profile only number row keys? Or can you do DSA profiles?

For the starman keycap it is only number row, but I can do other profiles as well.

ALSO

The other keycaps of this set are being delivered tomorrow for painting! Hooray!

Casting goodies in the mail. LOTS OF STUFF PLANNED! Woo!

Yes, those would be the brick blocks + mystery blocks.

I'm doing some maybe newish things with my casting. My sketchbook is literally full with ideas. Hopefully they work.

Excited for more to come, I love Mario, but not for my keyboard.

I'm more into dark things, however once my girlfriend decides on a keyboard we will begin to customize it so far she's only picked the Nyan cat keyset.

That's good she's been excited since she's seen my plan for my keyboard even though she doesn't have a keyboard to put her caps on yet, I'll follow this, and see what you come up with.

I'll also be watching it.

My girlfriend is very fond of the starman and the Mario
Wondering what else she'll want from this

These are the first pass at them. The brown stain is a bit different than the yellow, and my hobby brush needs replacing, so the left mystery box isn't perfect. I'll have one of each fresh made in a couple of weeks.

Fire Brand · « **Reply #21 on:** Sun, 18 May 2014, 16:22:07 »

As a question do you think you will be making a gold plated star key in the future? that would be very nice

Also just got the shipping notice going to be sat next to my door now until it comes :x

Wait just checked then what would it cost for the star key to be gold plated? as a rough idea as I may get one later in the year :x

Still, the mystery box looks nice. Any plans on making Topre?

Thanks! I can make Topre on request, but only for a sale, since I don't have the model pre-prepared.

Got my star today. So cute!

Going to take photos of it on my Watermelon board when I am home in a month or so. Kinda scared of taking it off a switch though, as I have not worked with caps of this material before. We'll see what happens!

Fire Brand · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 30 May 2014, 05:51:11 »

Cherpkey Star STAR its awesome glittery and you should all get one, amazing hand painting even put the little white shine on the eyes, and cher added extra glitter for me

I'm a little careful of the stem though as I think it looks a little brittle :x Other wise thanks a huge bunch for this its awesomenessness.

Its awesome thanks, a little scared of the stem though as it looks like it may want a few of those cross supports like a more key has but otherwise love it

cherpalla · « **Reply #27 on:** Sun, 01 June 2014, 10:06:47 »

Awesome pics! So glad the keys arrived safely!

Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I'm back from Europe and have some caps to paint! They should be in the mail by Thursday

cherpalla · « **Reply #34 on:** Thu, 24 July 2014, 13:14:35 »

If anyone hasn't received something they ordered please let me know. It would seem that some of my recent packages didn't make it out (though claims they did have been heard, so watch for duplicates please) so I'm putting together the replacements with rush (no cost to you, of course). Please let me know if you didn't receive your order as soon as you can (via PM, please!)!!

Do not include it as part of an additional donation, I will give you my paypal email for you to gift it separately, so we don't get anything mixed up for records. ^_^

I'm very intrigued to see what the bronze steel might turn out like. Or the black matte steel.

The painted cap looks excellent, btw.

I never knew SmallFry, though I know he has been a huge inspiration to the keyboard community and it was a huge loss with him passing. I really like that you have made a keycap in his honor. Very nice design!

I will seal all of the raw metal myself to prevent rusting. I will use LeakSeal Clear Spray.
