Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
I never thought they could be molded. Did it come with the right packaging? or was it another one? Not sure if they used just one model with a different packaging.

It's the same as the package used in the movie. I scanned it and posted it here a couple of years ago.

I'm fine with the ones I have. I let too many other ones slip away.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
The labelled board of the crate should be a 12x12 inches square to fit the "Pala Brave" label (11x10 inches) as seen on the original prop.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
I've just found an eBay listing of a vintage orange crate, which seems to be exactly the same as the screen used one (except for the wrong label sticker). The seller posted a lot of great pictures and the dimensions of the crate: it measures 26 1/8 x 12 x 11 3/4 inches in height. If you want to build a crate from cheap old wood, those pictures are an excellent reference.

Are those the dimensions of the screen used crate? Screenused doesn't list them.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
The dimensions of the screen used crate aren't listed anywhere. But since I know the exact dimensions of the "Pala Brave" label and I have a few pictures of the screen used crate, where you can see the position of the label, it's just a matter of calculation.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
Roland what thickness do you think the lumber is? I am guessing 3/8 inch for the side panels and 3/4 inch for the ends and middle. I will probably be taking on this project soon. I like woodworking, though I wont have that old wood look but I can always leave it outside for a few weeks to get the look I need.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
Did I ever tell you, that I love you?
Ooops, it seems that I still have to reply to a lot of people. :$
My calculations came to 1/4 inch for the side panels and 5/8 inch for the end and middle parts. The side panels have less than the half of the thickness of the ends and middle.
If my calculations are correct, you will need the following parts:
6 side panels: 26 1/8 x 5 x 1/4 inches
3 end and middle parts: 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 5/8 inches
And of course wood for the two handles.

Re: My Back to the Future props and Projects
Thanks Roland. I will try to work on this today.
My original guess was 1/4 inch but thought that might have been too thin.
It appears to me that the end and middle parts are separate boards pieced together to form the 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 measurements. From the crates I have seen, they all seem to differ.
