- GB date is very tentatively sometime in Q2. HYPE!
Hi Geekhack! I’m proud to present my first set, it’s been a few months in the making now and I’m really excited to share it. PS you can follow me on IG! I'm
Imagine cruising down the Nile on a warm, slow afternoon. You’re sitting on the deck, looking out at the churning green water. In the distance, a breeze stirs the sandy dunes.
Introducing my passion project, SA Ramses: a memory of my trip to Egypt many years ago. Bold but understated, steeped in colour yet naturalistic and calm.
I have chosen to use an SA profile in 1-1-2-3-4-3. I feel the sculpted profile is reminiscent of grand temples made out of huge blocks of sandstone, also I just really like the look, feel and sound of SA! The keys would be doubleshot ABS, because that's how SP rolls.
The alphas are a very dark cool green, the kind of shade you would expect a deep sand-bottomed river to have, and the modifiers are a light greige with golden-brown accents to mimic the riverbanks. I took some photos with my phone while colourmatching, but I'm not great at this so here are some subpar comparisons for people who may need them.
Above: TN on RAL 8000
Above: Trying to show exactly how dark the green is compared to other stock ABS colours. I really love this picture because it shows the green against a dark grey (left), against a navy (middle) and against a… peacock blue (right)? I envision the final result to be like BFR, the middle chip, but green.
An extra note: I chose TBT for the Alpha legends as they're a touch less beige than the mods, so it won't be too orangey overall.
