gonna attempt to create a hybrid Night at the Museum BD with lenticular slipcase and the missing bonus disc

going to purchase the UK BD of Night at the Museum
buy a 2 disc aramay case (14mm) and insert the bonus disc
trim the slipcase on the DVD (currently looking where abouts to trim it)
scan the pack of the slip and make some edits to the details (specs etc)
print it out at work at carefully glue it to the back

Do you have any hi res scans you could share, G! I like your design for the Joker returns and Gotham Knight.

Would anyone be able to make a quality slipcover of this version of the Jungle Book for me?
I'd pay for your time/material and shipping.
If anyone can help me out please PM me.
Thanks!

Long shot I know - but if you don't ask you'll never know

I'm looking to get a custom slipcover made (actually a couple - but one quite urgently) - is there anyone on the forum that might be able to help me out or are there any good template out there to work from?

Thanks Ninjas :thumbs:
 
@Mods: I hope this is the correct area to post it. If not, feel free to move it to appropriate section. I saw the Custom GOTG slip in here plus there wasn't a separate "Custom slip" thread. My suggestion? We should create one ;)

So on this special day, I bring to you my first attempt at creating a custom slipcover for some of my steels. So its far from perfect. You'll see what I mean in the pictures. But first, a big, huge, enormous thanks to @djs1401 for all your help :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

The Slip
Probably the best part of the creation. But I didn't line up the back side properly when I glued so its a bit curved. Also, I added a transparent "Designed by" at the back but you can hardly see it. Gonna have to increase the Opacity next time.
What do you guys think of the spine? I'm thinking of keeping it a solid color next time, instead of the picture wrapping around the spine.

Gloss & Engrave on Steelbook
Probably the worst gloss. I was wayyyy too close to the steel when I glossed it . So it actually made some random designs. Looks similar to a "Raindrop edition" another ninja made here. I assure you, I got the next one properly :p.

And here is a closer look at the engrave:

So what do you ninjas think? Inputs appreciated :)
 
Nice work, bud! Coming from someone who does their own glossing, you'll get it down buddy. After a few mess ups, you'll find your own system. I really like the slip and the idea as a whole though! Nicely done!!!
