I've been lurking here for a while, but I'm now more or less finished with my Model Fs for my personal computer and my pandemic work-from-home setup and thought I'd put up the photos. The unusual keycaps are custom ones via DecentKeyboards on Etsy. (While my keycaps may be an acquired taste, they came out as intended and I'm very happy with them.)
First, for non-work use is my Mac's F107:

The case was kind of rough when I got it, and that couldn't all be fixed, so the coating shows the same kind of imperfections I've seen in others that have been coated. This one is actually Cerakote in glacier black--the powder coater was not enthusiastic about a traditional powder coat on this metal, and I did a test of it on my F50 (see below) first. The imperfections aren't really noticeable in normal use, and I really like the feel of the Cerakote.
Here are two shots of my custom keycaps--again, probably an acquired taste at best):

My work from home setup is a Ellipse reproduction F77 plus an original F50 (and a Rollermouse Red in this shot):

Both are using a combination of Ellipse's blue keycaps, white Unicomp modifiers, and (especially on the F50) custom keycaps. The F50--which was in better shape than the F107 and came through the Cerakote basically perfect--is geared toward Microsoft Word shortcuts, which is what I spend most of my work time using:

I'll probably replace the Option/Alt key on the F50 with a Unicomp 1U Alt key, but I didn't have one on hand in white.
