BTTF Plutonium Case Thread

@Contec Nice work! I had mentioned this in an earlier post, but I have an extra anvil plaque if you, or anyone else wants it. Free for the taking.

Thanks for the offer, but i am going to stick to my own design. Been thinking about doing this logotype for a few years now. Some other lucky person could get your plaque instead. But you can help me a little bit by measuring the size of the plaque so i can get my a little closer.

No worries. Yup, I can totally get the measurements for you. All my prop stuff is still boxed up since I just moved, so lemme track it down.

Why not reach out to BROTHERFOSTER http://www.therpf.com/member.php?u=14016 to get him to make the plaque for you?

Quick question for those of you with anvil cases. I have hit a bump in the road and I am curious what everyone else has done. I ordered my case from anvil a few months ago and I am stuck. I still need to put the "Plutonium Handle With Care" on it but have run into an issue. The box has a slight texture to it. Its not flat and smooth. I have tried rub on font like they used in the movie and they did not stick well due to the texture. I have also tried 2 different versions of stencils to air brush with different bridge and breaks and couldn't get it to look right using the correct font due to the thin spacing between the letters. I am thinking my only last ditch effort is to have a custom rubber stamp made.
Has anyone else encountered this issue as well and what did you use or do to solve the problem?

I ran into the same issue with my mini case that Anvil built. The replica I did was originally blue, so the yellow paint I used had more of a matte finish and held on to my peel n stick letters.

@Contec dimensions for the plaque are 4.25" x 1.25"

I was going to try die cut adhesive vinyl for the "Handle With Care" lettering.

Would you not be able to make stencils with vinyl as well? Then just paint it.

Probably, though vinyl can simply be peeled off if I screw up

if this is still available and if you ship to the UK, I'd love the plaque

Sure thing, send me a PM :thumbsup

Getting there...

Finally done with the box. Made a template out of masking tape and then cut out the letters. Painted it first with one coat of yellow paint and so that it would stop the black paint from bleeding under the template.

Out of curiosity, what are the Anvil cases running everyone? I'm trying to decide between doing some renovation on an old case (that's not quite the right size) from craigslist VS buying a new, yellow Anvil case.

Oh yeah, to take us back to the start of this thread:

The total cost of this case including the foam insert and decals is under $350.

 

[Halliwax]

the box came out great!

 

[Sheeple]

The box came out fantastic! Might have to try and make one myself!

 

[Egos13]

think we can get a thread together in making one for the Nike Mags? I know it will have to be a taller case with the option to open from the top

 

[VanOaksProps]

Anyone have an idea of the dimensions of the big mag display anvil case? I was thinking of doing a movie accurate version but decided the Nike version would make for a better display for my shoes.
