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

hopefully i'll have something to match part 2

First, I actually used a regular (broken) pen to emboss :D, for this I upgraded a little and used an embossing pen (a craft knife with a round-headed pin).
So your own custom made embossing tool? :wow: Nice!
You'd have to be accurate and exact to be able to pull this off. So you just "pushed" (all the places you wanted to emboss) from underneath/back side?

:hilarious::hilarious: Thanks for the kind words! :notworthy:
You're welcome :D

Also finished a custom digipack the day before, so here are some photos of that. While it's not 100% perfect, I think it looks pretty cool. :hungry:
The title on the front is embossed. Also includes 2 artcards but no numbering.

I think its pretty close to perfect as far as custom work goes.
Is the front slip art fan made or official art? Because I prefer your choice of art more than any other exclusives I've seen.
Only thing I don't like is the front and back of the digipack arts are too similar. I would've chosen something else OR I would've used a horizontal picture across to fit front and back.

Yep, just like that. :thumbs:

It's from a UK-based artist named Richard Davies, if I recall correctly which would make it fanart.

If you mean the digipack itself (not the slipcover for it): this actually is one big horizontal image which goes from the front to the back. ;)
If you mean the slipcover artwork: there I just couldn't pass up on using the back artwork as I did because I just love the looks of it. :drool:

I meant the digipack itself. They're actually one image? Looks different to me.
I love the slip art (front and back), nothing wrong them. :)

This was actually my very first custom-made Full Slip (including a custom J-Card and a custom booklet) from a few months back, so don't be too harsh with feedback, thanks. ;)
The title (without "The Secret Service" but with the Kingsman logo under the title) is embossed. :hungry: Here are a few pictures of it (in comparison to the FAC release):

Nice custom slipcovers. If anyone is willing to do HD DVD slipcovers, let me know. Very interesting to see if it's possible to have the red HD DVD bar on top. The look and sound of perfect. Thanks & nice job.
