Cheers Paul!

No, I could never mass-produce these, they take hours to make!

Probably about 3 hours of cutting, glueing and lining up - and then one mistake and it's knackered! I was a nervous wreck when I was doing the finishing touches incase a slip of the craft knife ballsed the whole thing up....!

Luckilly it all worked out as planned.

Are they scanned and then printed or do they use a template for it Paul?

You've lost me a bit there Eds!

The boxes are made through a few hours of scanning and editing in GIMP [free download of phototshop-type software] and then printed at the Printers in town on cardboard.

Then some fiddly knife cutting and scoring, lots of folding and glueing and presto!

see something like this might be good for a con exclusive though, just print them up and then lead a seminar/class/presentation on how to cut it up and glue it together. Have each person do the hard work themselves

If you guys would like, I have the means to mass produce these, (I'm doing up another large print run for our Club's H.Q. sets), so this would be pretty simple. (But Jamarmiller has the right idea for you if you want it done locally).
