:lol that would be me.
I put the project to the side and just haven't picked it back up. Thanks for the reminder.
I will actually start reworking it and toss it up here for free as soon as it is done.
I wanted to get some of those printed to include with the other newspapers I made, but I couldn't find a good copy of the photo anywhere. :unsure
Did anyone tackle doc's letter to Marty from 1885 yet? I see that you can buy this one on the bttfstore, but if I compare the Western Union heading with the oversized letter that has been sold in the Profiles in History auction, it doesn't match. Or does this oversized letter has another heading than the smaller letter? I can take a look at the bluray, but I don't have it at hand at this moment... Maybe someone can post screencaps of the letter?

I believe it's on Rolands "to do" list so you can be assured it's gonna get done, and get done well.
Remember, if in doubt to the existance of a prop, the answer is: Rolands got it covered :lol
I just had a look at the one for sale on the bttfstore and going by memory, I dont think the 2nd letter and time circuit diagram should have the Western Union logo. In fact, I think the circuitry diagram is completly made up as (once again by memory) the movie prop was landscape, not portrait.
Here are some scans that might help. I can upload some in higher res later if needed.
Yeah, I already covered it. The full letter (incl. envelope) was part of the japanese 20th anniversary DVD box. I bought that letter from a guy from Hong-Kong for very little money. As I can see on his pictures, Daniel's letter is exactly that one from the DVD box. My plan is: I will scan it and make vectorized versions, because on the original letter from the DVD box you can still see grid dots from the printing.

That would be great. No need to cover it myself then. Don't have much time at this moment, and I'm sure you're versions won't leave any room for improvement... ;-).Yeah, I already covered it.

On the bttfstore, the letters seems to have more pages? What's up with that?
Heay, high res scans of these would be interesting too...
On the bttfstore the letter also has three pages. The other pages are: the map to the time machine (too small), the repair instructions (mistakenly with Western Union logo) and the flux capacitor diagram (too small). I wouldn't buy that letter - the text is new written and not the original handwriting. And it's printed on A4 sheets instead of US-Letter.
By the way: my letter version will also have the repair instructions (and its envelope).

This is my FAVORITE BTTF prop. I have a couple different version of the letters.
In the original letter from Western Union to Marty it included in an envelope with three handwritten pages and a large map (24x36 inch). In the car they found another envelope with one handwritten page of instructions and a schematic (24x36 inch). Both large sheets are of vellum and foldered to fit in envelope.
The handwritten pages are on 8.5x11 inch size paper. The envelope from the Delorean has "Repair Instructions" written on it.
I have a large copy, not to size, of the schematic. I would love to see these redone and done as accurately as possible. The opening of BTTF III is one of my favorite scenes. These letters are items I believe that Marty would keep.
Best,

If we believe "Profiles in History", the size is 23 1/2 x 35 inch.
Do you have a better copy than the one from "Profiles in History", which is 1610 x 1056 pixels? If yes, then send it to me and I'll do a vectorized version of it.
The quality of the one from "Profiles in History" isn't bad, but you can't clearly read everything on that image.
Yes, that's a well known fact. You could see the clock tower before it was to see in BTTF (Gremlins is from 1984).
