[IC] Maintain Right - a Main Force Patrol/Mad Max-themed keycap set
« on: Tue, 12 April 2016, 11:06:27 »
Welcome and good morning, MFP officers!

A little background: I'm a pro PC case-modder by profession, and a fairly recent mod project I completed a couple years back (Project CLUNK) was inspired by the world of Mad Max (one of my personal favorite films). 

CLUNK: 


During the project I did a lot of research and design work for it as well as some spin-off stuff that is still ongoing.  I've personally always wanted a keycap set inspired by the admittedly hideous color-scheme of the patrol cars used in the original film by Main Force Patrol, so I present to you --



This is just a preliminary, early 'feel out the waters' interest-check to see what the masses say regarding these.  There are still a ton of details to tackle!

I think you got colors of the 1u R1 and R2 keys in the ISO kit wrong. Right now the blue short shift and 1u would be in the yellow area, and vice versa =P

Tentatively, I was thinking DSA but completely open to any suggestions really.  I'm fine with all profiles too, although I do not own a set of SA caps so I have no actual experience with them.

In all honesty, I've assumed from the beginning that I would be in the minority on this since it's a color-scheme that can be hard to swallow.  ;)  I guess you have to be a fan of the original film!

Had a single set made via UV printing in "OEM" profile to see how it would look in real-world:

Haha, thanks man.  But you seem to be in the minority by the look of it!

They just don't know how badass the Interceptor really was.
