any chance of going black with the foam? possibly paint or fabric?

I don't know. Black might be cooler but I think the white shows off the figures better. I'd totally buy that set.

Would adding toy handcuffs to the handle be too cheesey?

No chance.

The foam is actually white. The FOAM that I was going to buy is no longer carried in a smaller size anymore. So, I had to buy soft styro-foam - used for making flower bouquets and such.

It worked - cost more than what I expected, but was still 75% cheaper than the actual foam in a MUCH larger size.

Then I dug through old shirts I had, found a white Beer shirt that I won at a stag and doe and never wore - so I cut that up, and glued it to the styrofoam.

If I had a black shirt, I would of used black.

I can spraypaint the insert - I have no problem doing that - but I'm afraid of what may happen to the figures if I go that route.



An no Pluv, no handcuffs.

Wow Mike.

You really are the master of packaging. You need to go onto that business professionally.

I can see why Black would be appealing - yet I agree with pluv, the white really shows the figures off, and makes for a nice contrast. And I also agree about not wanting too much going on inside the case with other paints that could cause a problem later.

Having said all of that.... HOT DAMN. That is an awesome looking package, awesome set, awesome combo. I'm proud to have had a part in it. The packaging really takes this set and makes it a whole new level of cool though.

Nice ,real nice. It is really gratifying to see all of this coming together from the beginning all of those months ago. That package is literally the icing on the cake.

the bad news. There's no way to get the filecards in the package.

Well... there is, but we'd have to make them pretty small (about 3 inches wide)

what about putting them under the foam? make a cutout area underneath like mastercollector has done?

otherwise, Matthew has a good idea --

I made a miniature file folder today. It's 50% the size of an original file folder, it looks pretty sharp. Now I just need to figure out what to put on it. Probably just put Spooks: Omega Team on the tab, then a stamp on the folder. I may try to do this tomorrow.

Mike - Really, this is astounding! Fantasic work on this!

_________________

Due to how the cloth is on the foam - there's no way to have that insert be removed without it looking like crap after.

I do have a plan that may work - especially with Matt's idea. I'll touch base with him tomorrow as I've had a long day already.

Ditto on all points. This is really, really cool.

what the heck is a 'stag and doe' ?

A deer a male/female deer. So I'm guessing "stag" party is just dudes behaving badly and "stag and doe" would be both sexes. Really that is just a party. Kind of like unleaded gas lol it's just gas.
