I love Nyms Mp. Thats one thing I love about the Mp. I baby my Fantom, but you can throw the 1k in a back pack and bring it anywhere without worrying about anything happening to it. Plus, if anything does happen, eveerything is so easy to replace or fix.

Alright...don't forget about us! We want pics when it's done! If you can do some progressive pics that's even better :D

its back! ...but missing the lcd plastic window that mpcstuff left out of my order :(
i'll post updated shots when i get the window, but here it is basically. no labels for the forseeable future.

that is nice man- where'd you get it done for $50? I'm loving that color combo...just need to get the sliders and everything looking right! Nice work- keep the pics coming as you add to it :D

just took it in to this industrial powder coating place down here in san diego. they actually quoted me 75 when i emailed them with pictures of the 1000, but when i took it in the lady said that the pieces were so small that she would just charge me the $50 minimum.

Very cool- it's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like there's some shimmer thrown in there? Am I seeing it weird?
How will you go about getting the labels back on?

Looks like they really did a great job. Did they also do the jog wheel?
