Can't see the attachment.

Here's a comparison between Matty board and hc board with the photos we have keep in mind color temperature differences

I'm on my phone and I see it just fine that's weird, I have to double check when I get home but I might have a circle bit for 1 inch if I do I'll be making my handle bar hole that way

Bear in mind the Mattel stickers were added to my board which is on the left in that first photo

Did you put anything on top of the mattell sticker to make it smooth or is there a ridge from where the sticker meets the board? I plan on doing the same thing to my HC board.

The board in the film wasn't made from one big sticker it was layered decals so having Vormz Mattel stickers lay on top of the board is actually more screen accurate then having one big decal with every thing as one piece

Awesome. Hey when you put your lenticular paper on, post some pics. I'm anxious to do the same to mine and would love to get some advice on how to do it right...

I should have my board Monday or Tuesday and I'll be posting photos and videos of my entire modding process

I just applied the decals on top of the existing sticker

Most of the boards that can be seen in the movie are photo boards (stunt boards) and were made from one big sticker (plus Velcro). Just the few lenticular boards (hero boards) that can be seen in the Hoverboard chasing scenes in BTTF II were made from several stickers.

For example: the board in this scene is a photo board and the Mattel logo and the pseudo lenticular are just one big sticker.

Here is the Matty board modified with Roland's upgrade kit. Still the best overall Hoverboard I've seen.

Here is the underside of my modified Matty Hoverboard. It is more screen accurate now with Roland's decals and black colored screws!

I totally agree.
I live in Maryland...Mine shipped to a town IN MARYLAND a few hours away from my town, then went to WEST VIRGINIA before it CAME BACK to Maryland!!! It was shipped to my small little suburban town at 5:15am this morning where it was handed over to the USPS which now says it won't be delivered until Thursday!! What a joke!

I just went through this with FEDEX over some minimalist shoes I ordered from North Carolina to Washington State. Quoted 5-9 days, but they're now telling me 15 days.

Anyways...

Basically, I was told if the order hasn't updated it means it's locked up in the back of a truck. They don't take them out to scan or track them unless it switches hands or I guess vehicles in this case.

i understand it wont update until it reaches a check point but i dont get why its taken 3 days for a truck to take an 8 hour trip. im assuming if it hasn't stopped for a check point the truck is only coming to california and not dropping any other stops since they would update then. fedex is screwing people over on purpose because we didnt pay premium to ship because even though i could have gotten my board in 3 days, i payed for 4-7 so theyre making sure i dont get my board for another week which is total bull ****.

You must not have seen Clock88's board. It's currently the most accurate board ever made.

My best guess is that the truck is loitering and waiting for more ground-shipments to get to it so it can start it's next leg.

I agree though, sometimes I seen my packages circle through a state and things like that, or they get scanned at a location and then scanned later at a location farther away. It's like they are intentionally making you wait, so next time you'll just buy the fast shipping.

im usually pretty patient with this kind of stuff sometimes i even forget i ordered something and i come home to a gift from myself lol but when i see its close and its just not being delivered when it could be it annoys the **** out of me :angry
