hi, i started a bloghttp://retromodernmc.blogspot.com/for some of the process, i'm planning on upload some plans/dimensions, etc. it'll be slow updates though, so pls be patient. oh, and it is a english/korean bilingual blog. even if it seems broken, it is not. you just don't have korean fonts.
as for the buttons.. RIT dye arrived from amazon and i dyed the white buttons according to the tutorial. dyeing plastic actually worked so nicely. however as i tried the brown buttons on the control panel, it didn't really work out as a whole. really dulls the whole look of it. so sadly, i decided to keep it as it is. maybe it was the wrong brown.. i don't know. i'm not 100% satisfied with the current color scheme, so i'll keep thinking about it, finding new inspirations.
Dalgaard:
I love this project :)
Awww...I wanted to see the dyed parts! :)
If you can't get the correct brown for the knobs and buttons, I suggest changing the colorscheme so that the knobs and buttons have the SAME color. I think that would make a big difference...what color to choose im not so sure about.
Also the new bezel is a HUGE improvement. Love that it's two colored.
surface tension:
The bezel looks great, good work!
It would be interesting to see what the buttons came out like. Ideally I would say they need to match the sides. For me though it's still the mix of orange and red. I think the red goes well with the colour scheme, though all of them might be a little too overpowering.
