Are you going to do a styleflip? or do you plan to actually paint the case and get the letters silkscreen back ontop of the art?

nice !

+ MOPHO killer combo yooow! :wink:


The Rza was the first thing I thought of when I saw it that's why I was hoping he was a Steeler fan.
Just seems like it could be annoying over time to have to look at.

hmmm didnt purposefully follow RZAs lead but I can dig it. i like to think of it as me scientifically reconstructing the MPC 5k incarnation of Bumble Bee from Transformers... :D

I love it. I'm waiting on some black buttons and a new screen window before i can post completed pics.

That's funny because Rza was repping Killer Bees. :mrgreen:

Not so much hating on yellow but it always comes off as one of those loud colors you know is in the room. :lol:

No style flip. I have a friend that's a painter. Another one of my good friends does some sick ass photo's. ( He did all our wedding pics for free. :) ) He just showed me some photo's he took of the Golden Gate a few months back. One of them might end up painted on my MPC.
I'll try and post some pics when the time comes to start painting.

Well you have Dave's cute little yellow box to go with the yellow so if you add some KRK's you would have a real color scheme going on. :wink:

You do understand if you like it, then the MPK will need a similar aspect since they are in the same relative area and resemble each other. :mrgreen:

Once again you katz are letting that talent show through. I wish these Big Companies would consult with their customers when choosing color schemes, special editions and the like!
