Yes, they are. I'm a big fan of him and his work. I'm not feeling those MPCs though, a lot of details on such a small space, but that's just my opinion.

On the other hand, I really dig the green display on the last one of the three, it looks just like those old 80's VFT displays from that photo. Nice!

Thanks for the feedback! It all started with the SP404 and just went from there. Almost all my gear looks like a trip. I used all the best Alex paintings on the other gear. I don't mind having an all black one though. Shiiiit looks mean.

Love ghost's work!...

I just finished my mpc I'm pretty happy with it so I thought id share it here. Spent the wknd spraying and then clear coating it. There is one corner that didn't get a full coat of paint but I think overall it's not too bad. Hope ya like it.

^^^^ that looks DOPE, now you should get red leds, also they make a red and black screen u can get..it lights up black with red text. mpcstuff sells em but they are pricey, u can get em cheap from another source, but u will need to solder the ribbon cable to it..

That would make it look super dope

Do you know what type of leds I need for the mpc? I'd love to have a go at fitting them. What other place can you get those red screens? I've seen the mpc stuff one but with shipping to uk it would be way expensive.

ask the dude in this thread who has the other screens in his 3 mpcs, he got em from that place,. also u gotta look around and see what led size people have been using in their mpcs, cause u can hit ebay and get em from china for the low too, mpcstuff charges 3.00 for 1 led, thats way too much..just dig around the forum man, i can't remember off hand where i ordered my blue ones from, but they were cheap as hell..

yo, here are the screens… http://www.ebay.com/itm/150826420761?ss ... 1497.l2649

Nice thanks for that man. Ill have a look into this on the weekend , I ended up redoing the one side as it was bugging me coz it wasn't perfect lol

Thats would be super-dope.

Straight Battlestar Galactica action.

(The old good one.)

Would I need to buy a connector for it to solder to thisor use the existing one that's the to stock display?

Yup thats super dope!!!

If you're not gonna do the screen job, then you should've hooked it up in blue.
