triforce model-m

Latest waste of time... More pleased with this one than the previous black and blue one though.

Filthy, filthy keyboard rescued from pile of rubbish. The outside was cleaned in the dishwasher, but I didn't quite risk all those springs in the same way, so cleaned the crud out with an old toothbrush instead.

Spray painting, about three to four coats altogether. The yellow took more, I should have probably used an undercoat.

Careful masking and a stencil to create the logo.

Final stage was clear varnish to produce a hard-wearing finish, about three thin coats.

Okay, so the end result looks something like a "My First Keyboard", but I don't really care.
