Asp builder now shows updated color scheme for parts

I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him.

Interesting. I will have to take a look at it.

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Cool it looks like they have most things corrected from the differences we have seen in shipped parts from the models.

The parts look better overall, and so does the weathering texture. A few things I noticed:
-The Redeemer and Prodigal Son switch sections are still shown to have a weathered option, even though SF has stated this isn't possible since they can't be put on a lathe when asked why the V2 versions of these hilts didn't have weathered control boxes. Perhaps they are making an exception and doing these by hand. -The ASP Fallen emitter piece has a black section near the emitter instead of copper/gold like the one on the main site. Good to know for those who were thinking of getting a Fallen via ASP instead of prebuilt. EDIT: And the Venom body is still upside down!

I do not like the look of that at all. I wonder why the thin necks come standard with copper, but not the Fallen... Jaden Korr wrote: EDIT: And the Venom body is still upside down!
Isn't there an option to flip the body on the builder? Or did you just mean the default setting is upside down? |

Fallen isn't a true "think neck". That part is gold on the prebuilt Fallen saber (but not in the ASP system)

I wasn't so much implying that the fallen was a thin neck, but rather that the fallen and the thin necks all traditionally have the gold/copper on the emitter. In my opinion (which, take it for what you will) it would make sense for all of them to switch to black, or none of them. But it seems odd that they would change just one of them. |

I noticed this as well. IMO they need to keep it with the gold band. The part isn't that popular, but the gold band is the main focal point of that emitter. I don't understand why they can't powder-coat each order. I will personally email, and suggest others do as well, to get them to change this part.

With these Updates to the Parts finishes on Builder Site I query whether the 'now' renders are still accurate or whether what is received is still different to what is represented. The recent observation of Fallen Emitter as an example. Granted Graflex Emitter now includes the topside Red button but I've noticed former rendered parts like Reborn Switch & Vigilant Body no longer have their respective greeblies contrasting in colour. When you select the Part Tab to bring up ALL Parts, they are still as they were however once selecting 'Add/Swap' the next result is very different.
