Colors

For the colors I wanted a simple look that kind of resembles a mountain.
The 4012 is a gray with a hint of purple as to not make this a boring gray set.
The WS2 resembles the Snow and the beautiful Edelweiss, the national Swiss flower.

Thank you so much to Virtual Designworks for the amazing art. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with you and I love what you did!

Keebstuff

I’m very happy to announce that I will be working with Keebstuff on a limited number of high quality custom cables!
He puts amazing and careful work into each cable and they end up looking fantastic!

The cables will be coiled with the coiled side being Purple and the non coiled side will be white. They will come with LEMO Connectors (Made in Switzerland :D)!
You can see more pictures of the cable and his other awesome work on his Instagram

Thanks!!

While there were a lot of people who gave feedback and helped with things, I would especially like to thank 1 person who helped me!

Imperfect Link:
Thanks for the countless blender questions which you answered, the cases you redesigned so they’d be easier to work with and reminding me that I should’ve used texture legends and good keycap geometry. :stuck_out_tongue:

how similar is this to the all purple gmk taro kit? it looks darker, but hard to say how much.


Left Taro, Right Alpine. I used the Hex color from an old reddit post for taro so it may not very accurate! Alpine renders are color matched as best I could with a RAL Fan but 4012 is one of those colors I strongly believe you should see if you’re picky about color accuracy!
