Back to the Future

Thanks for the reply, but the ripped and stained version is different to the one Marty writes. There are two versions. Here are a couple of photos. I'm looking for a clear good quality version of the one in the photo here. Thanks though.

Two years ago, the original letter was for sale. Here's the picture from the auction catalog. The second picture was made with an AI image enlarger. The auction picture seems to be very dark. I would suggest you to make it brighter with an image editing software, before you print it.

Thanks Roland. Have you printed one out? Did it turn out ok? I shall have a go and try and brighten it.

I haven't printed it, yet. Before I print it, I want to remove the folds from the picture. I want to fold the letter myself and so I don't need printed folds.

Made a bit brighter printed and fold it to see what was the result.

Have you thought about putting scotch tape over the printed tape? Should blend together nicely, I would think.

Yes. I plan to do that. Just have to find the right one (they're all too "new"...).
Thanks for your comments and likes and a special thanks to Roland for posting the original pic in HR.

You can use alcohol inks to dye the tape to get an aged look.

You folded everything? The original letter has just two big folds (as I showed in my last post). Everything else is ripped (and taped).

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Two major Folds (half sheet and half again). The other folds are orientation so when ripped it stays"on track"). Will have to "work" on the tape first.

Thank you Roland and DB537 (and anyone else I'm forgetting whose work I used)! These turned out great and made a wonderful gift for a friend of mine (along with the 4K trilogy, NECA Marty Figure, and the OUTATIME license plate). They loved it.

Wonderful work!

How did you get the flux sketch to print on a paper napkin? Looks great!

Thanks! Actually, I traced it. I printed out the design at the correct size on paper, partially unfolded the napkin and placed them together on a lightbox. Then I used a sharpie to trace the design onto the napkin.

Genius! I’ve always been surprised there was never a run of these.

not really a run. but I found on etsy a guy from Taiwan, that sell the napskin. It looks like printed out. But the price is ok in my opinion.

 

[Cluttered Mind]

No new prop here - I apologize. I just wanted to say that I've been lurking for a while, but the ingenuity I've seen in this thread is amazing. My hat's off to all the creators here, especially Roland. Thank you for all your work!

It's a long time I 'm here, and I never saw this file for free especially without the magic word.

Found this one a little while ago. Not the best, color is a bit off but still pretty good.
