I pick it up tonight in Richmond. I indeed have big plans for this marker that involve milling from Destructive Customs as well as Robtown and Tadao board.

I really got tired of praying every weekend that my DM5 would work, so I bought something that has a good track record. I suspect I won't have much room left for it once I get this Vike.

They look pretty boring unmilled, but they are some of the most beautiful when they have work done. I would suggest google image searching some of them.

I answer with:
"I had 12, sold 2, 9 currently working, 1 used for spare parts"

i for some reason love the look of all Vikings, milled or not. yours is no exception. beautimus

Bruce, I've said all of those. On more than one occasion. Also, I once cleaned my room and found a Promaster I completely forgot I had.

I will probably go with FSP milling, but I also like the Immortal! As far as anodizing, I'm not sure what I want to do yet, but I have some ideas.

A few months ago, I saw a Viking for sale on eBay that really caught my eye. The ano was a combination of an off-white and flat black, giving a Storm-Trooper-esque feel. I'm not a huge Star Wars nerd or anything, but I liked the simplicity of it.

My second idea I'm a little more skeptical on.

I want to incorporate that into my marker. Anodizing will be powder coated white and navy blue, with that logo somewhere near the rear of the body. Body will be anodized white, reg will be navy blue. I'd probably get a 2-piece barrel and anodize the back white and the tip navy blue. It would be a one of a kind marker, with little to no market appeal, because it's such a specific theme. I don't plan on selling this soon, but if for some reason I had to, this anodizing would probably make it hard to sell.

Third idea is to go with a powder coat (perhaps gloss) black finish and laser engraving this on both sides:

I always liked the artwork that To Die For clothing comes out with, this one being my favorite. I think the cursive in solid white on a black background would look cool. Again, probably little to no market appeal, but at least it would look kinda cool.

So many options!

Nice find!
