I didn't type that and I have nothing to do with GH

ehh.. it was written in the mail from SP of which you posted the full content here. I thought it was obvious I had taken the quote from that.

I know. But quoting it that way makes it look like I did it. Which is bothering me since this GB has nothing to do with GH

@Broadmonkey

Yes, it is obvious that Omikron had just quoted SP's Melissa,
but only if one reads those few posts in one go.
Otherwise it really looks as if you were quoting an original post by Omikron.
I understand he doesn't like it

I would suggest you edit your post and modify the first tag
from (of course keep the square brackets)
{quote="Omikron"}
to
{quote="Omikron (quoting SP's Melissa)"}

It will then appear as:

see quoting legend
But even if Omikron now edits his post, this will not change Broadmondkey's.

Not true! I used " " those

This GB has ended, hasn't it? It is still listed as active in http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t7746.html

Ordering has ended, the caps haven't been produced yet, so the GB isn't really over.

Yes.

We could use a better status, like "orders closed", for this. The caps are still waiting to be manufactured, but the sale closed weeks ago.

I don't mind asking, so as long as you don't mind reading those question you may keep it the way it is

I guess "Sold" would work as well.

Muirium, I agree. The problem is that people as fyx browse the “sellout-and-group-buys” thread, see it still open, think the GB is active and that they may still order.

got the first pictures for the granite set!

OMG they are fantastic! I probably have to make some very little updates to the legends, nothing too serious.

I'll post some pictures later or tomorrow.

Fantastic! Later is better than tomorrow! Or do you have to shop / edit the pics?

sneakity sneak

awesomely awesome !!

Request: how do the colours match up with DSA Dolch? Hopefully Dolch can serve as my second set of alphas for Granite!

close up



Overall I'm satisfied by the end result

The legend reflects the grainy texture, but consider that this is a super close up. The numlock was one of the "problematic" legends with lines close to each other and still it came out really really well.

if you look at it at 1:1 is simply fantastic.

the dark mods are really nice with light gray granite alpha. A very nice contrast!

Ooh, snazzy! Love the look, especially... Wait, is that Z upside down? And maybe the X too... Yay, DSA!

ETA: Sideways O!

Excuse me while I cackle to myself maniacally, and spook the neighbours. Again…

you know what? white alpha goes well with DSA Retro too...

AW YES!! These are looking mighty fine!
Did you also get the Amiga keys?

no novelty key yet... looking forward. I will probably get more later today and tomorrow.

Oh okay, you will be getting them in red dye for samples?

yes, I made them shocking red crossing fingers

Insta pics when you get them! I really hope they turn out looking blisteringly awesome along with the rest of the nerdom kit!

Seems it was a good decision, that I participated in the GB. Matt3o your passion into perfection is impressive. Have you had korean ancestors? ;o)

no korean, but here in Florence we had a good share of perfectionists
