GROUP BUY THREAD IS LIVE!
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies
and Gentlemen…
Since the
group buy for GMK Phosphorous is well underway and should
reach MOQ
(🤞🏻), I would love to show you what I have been working on
in the meantime.
Ever since June rolled over, I have
been thinking how to commemorate the Apollo 11’s mission’s
50th anniversary.
Then I remembered about the Apollo Guidance Computer
(it made waves over the internet a month or so ago, because
people were trying to prove that Margaret Hamilton didn’t
write the software for it) and its interface DSKY
(pronounced “dis-kee”). As you can see, the DSKY has a black
keypad with white legends, yellow indicator lights, and a
green electroluminescent seven-segment display. Commands
were entered numerically, as two-digit numbers called Verb
and Noun. The first one represented the action being issued,
while the second represented the data that would be
changed.
DSKY itself was a starting point, but it did not yet
give me a satisfactory colourway. But when I saw exactly how
and where DSKY was mounted, I instantly knew what I wanted
subtle, lighter and darker greys, with yellows for the
accents.
One of my goals was to use the legends and values
from DSKY’s various keys and indicators, in place of our
traditional legends. This in turn led me to a decision to
use stock GMK colours, to make everything easier and more
affordable.
GMK Lunar uses a medium 2B gray for the
alphas and mods with a lighter 2M gray for legends. The
Numpad, which I consider an integral part of the whole
design and colourway, uses the darker N9 gray with 2M
legends. I also chose N6 yellow as the main accent colour,
with N9 legends, where appropriate. The Novelty Kit has a
set of optional “Master Alarm” accents these will be either
V1 or RO2 (V1 currently).
(Please note that the keys that you will find on the
renders below, have since been modified slightly, so they
may not be completely accurate at this point in time. They
also have a typo my bad.)
Without further ado, I give you GMK Lunar…

Planned Kits
Please note that the text on the arrows will be replaced
by arrow icons. The font is also not a perfect match for
GMK’s font. These are temporary renders until they’re more
or less finalized, when I’ll get someone who knows what
she or he is doing to do them.

GMK Lunar Pricing
Dear everyone,
I just
received the final prices from all the vendors today.
Salvun’s artisans prices are still not 100% certain, so I
will refrain from speculation.
GMK Lunar has
77 new molds, which should make this one of
the most unique GMK sets ever made.
MOQ for the
Command Module (base kit) is set at 150.
Child kits
are at 100.
The Command Module + Lunar Module will
allow you to cover 2 keyboards (one with
split backspace etc.).
I would also like to take this
chance to thank GMK for all their help in
graciously participating financially in this set, to help bring the price down, as well as the vendors, who
have minimised their profits, to make it
easier for all of you guys.
The Command Module (base
kit) offers completely custom modifiers and the whole design
is based around the Apollo Guidance Computer, DSKY
interface, and pays tribute to the upcoming
51st Anniversary of Apollo 11’s moon
mission.
The Assembly Kit is designed to cover as many
layouts, as was feasible. It’s MOQ
has already been bought out and it will be
made.

Apollo (120 USD base + 50 USD numpad = 170 USD).
