Thank you! I emailed you the files.

Here's the trays with the SquidMan's paper prop applied onto the packets. PanAm logo missing for now (I gave the wrong measurement to SquidMan)...not to worry; it's coming.

Oh wow, printed already! How did they turn out? It looks from your images like they may have come out a little too dark/oversaturated, but that may just be the lighting in your photos. What do you think, joberg?

Also, I emailed you the resized logo and instructions.

 

[joberg]

I think that they're looking great in person...pics are deceiving (even the blue seems too dark. I'll check my email this morning...
I'm going to experiment with the PanAm logo: vinyl sticker (clear background of course) or slide-decal...

Ooh vinyl sticker might be the best option! Will you be experimenting with making the instructions a vinyl sticker as well, or only the logo?

I don't know if those Kubrick/2001 exhibitions are still happening, but you might consider loaning/donating one of these to them. It's really terrific work and a convincing replica!

nice work

 

[joberg]

Well, the saga continues: i.e the logo and the text; very difficult to find people to do it on either waterslide decals or vinyl
I just printed the PanAm and the text on a regular piece of paper (that's why the blue is off). I think that the placement is fine.

 

[thegnome]

cool! how much has all of this cost?

 

[joberg]

Materials only, or materials and labor? As for SquidMan' s work, he only can answer that question.

I just got an ad from Micro Mark and they now sell an HP printer that does white on clear water slide decals.
Down side it's $800.

 

[joberg]

Thanks division 6...yep, that logo is a saga alright: some printing shops cannot print the fonts (too small), some can print them, but they'll charge me $60 per logo So, yeah...I'm not giving up, maybe silk screen printing will do? You never know.

Hobby Lobby and I think Michael's sell Speedball screen kits.

Thanks for the info division 6

for everything required to make it, approximately.

 

[joberg]

Depending on your location, price of items to make the tray may vary greatly. I'm in Canada where everything is double/triple the price compared to the U.S. or even Australia In Canadian dollars: the Sintra for the tray, the pink foam, white vinyl sheets, transparent tubing and finally the paint: $50.00.

 

[thegnome]

ok thank you

 

[joberg]

You're quite welcome

Alright folks...after days searching for printing companies to do the logo, I finally opted for white vinyl. Then, it took another 3 hours trying to match the RGB levels to the RGBs already sprayed on the prop (note to self: your ink jet printer will print, on white vinyl, another hue of your correct RGB level seen on your screen). So here's my finished prop.
