Interest Slow Horses File Folders, Mi5 ID's

[mikesprops]

Hey RPF, anyone else absolutely loving Slow Horses at the moment? I am so I decided to have a go at making some of the folders that pop up throughout the series. I'm also working on the Mi5 ID's the characters carry. Here's some photos of my current prototypes.

The first (weathered folder) is the folder that you see in the opening 10 minutes of the series:

The folder that pops up throughout the series:

and the third folder is my prototype for the Grey Books, which isn't actually seen in the show, but I'm planning to fill it full of conspiracy theory stuff until it's a bulging mess.

I'm also making a load of files to go inside them, Starting with this page which is seen very clearly in Episode 6 of Season 1

Then I've done a load of personnel files for each of the characters (I've still got a couple to do, but you can see the idea)

and finally River's Mi5 ID.

Edit: I've finished a few more screen accurate files! Check out my post below for more details.



If anyone is into these I could do a completed file (the folder+10 interior pages) for £35, and ID's I can do for £7.50 each. Postage in the UK I can do for free, anywhere else varies.

I can do ID's for any of the characters. The folders are printed on high quality card, the ID's are printed on my PVC card printer and I've used an assortment of paper types to create the interior pages, including high quality photo paper for the photographs and a combination of glossy and matte sticker paper and vinyl for the labels.

Also if anyone has any notes, suggestions, questions or criticisms I'm absolutely open to them all. (I've already noticed a load of spelling mistakes, which I'll correct before any go out)

Thanks for looking! If you're interested, just post below what you'd want and if there's enough interest I'll set my printer loose!

Mike.

Excellent. I'll put you in the number 1 spot!

 

[Bond323]

Oh yes, I am absolutely interested!!

Awesome! I'll pop you in at number 2. Do you guys have any specific requests. e.g. Which files / ID's you'd be into getting?

Hey Slow Horses fans, I've made some new documents after spending hours searching through the series, these are all seen on screen (except for a few areas that I've filled in with my imagination)

From Season 2 the Arkady Pashkin security briefing documents.

Also from Season 2: Nikolai Katinsky, Andre Chernitsky and Dickie Bough's files.

and finally Alison Dunn's assassination files from Season 3:

I've still got a couple more to do as I want to do some Footprint files, but so far the files are feeling nice and thick and full of fun information and detail.

I’d love a file with all the Slow Horses’ personnel files. Maybe another, aged one with the Charles Partner case files. I know it might be some work, but I’d even be in for one file for each season. Treat each individual season like a case, and do up pages following the progression of the story for each season!

Omg, these are amazing! I’d probably and most likely be on-board for anything and everything you’re doing, when it comes to the files, especially. Fantastic work…!

Great Idea! my current plan is to try and come up with enough files so that I can do exactly that, one per Season, exactly as you've described them. I love the idea of trying to make it so the story tracks through the file. I'll also do a slightly different folder design for each Season as I've noticed that the folder design changes slightly throughout the show.

The next thing I'm working on for it is some kind of aged David Cartwright personnel file as I'd really like to come up with what these files would look like in the 80's, give them a bit of a vintage feel.

Really glad you're enjoying what I'm doing, I'll see how far I can go and I'll keep you updated with more photos! When I'm done I'll give you the option to buy any or all of it. Any more ideas would be most welcome!

I'd be interested in a set of these files and maybe some of the ID's too.

I absolutely love where you are going with this, so far! The vintage David Cartwright file from the ‘80s would be fantastic, especially if you aged it up a bit, like the “declassified” file in your original post. Keep up the good work, Mike! I’m definitely on-board!

 

[mikesprops]

Awesome, it's really great to talk to someone who's as into this idea as I am. Hopefully I'll come up with some other cool bits aswell as I've got a few ideas I'm thinking through.

I love a good aged document. I've been playing around with some cool paper weathering techniques this year so I'll definitely be deploying them on David Cartwright's file.

So far, I love where you’re going with this. And I agree, it’s awesome to see other people enjoying the “world” of Slough House, too.

Keep up the good work and I’m enjoying seeing your work!

Thanks Mate, so far I've taken your idea and run with it. I've finished the Season 1 file, which includes personnel files of all the season 1 slow horses and a report on Slough House and the Charles Partner assessment from the opening scene.

Season 2 is also done that's Markus Longridge Personnel file, Shirley Dander Personnel file, Pashkin Security Assessment (6), Chernitsky and Katinsky Reports and Dickie Bough's file.

For Season 3 I've done Alison Dunn Personnel file and Assassination Report, Donavan's Personnel file and I'm just finishing up Douglas' Map of the facility. and I've got a few more bits in the pipeline for this season.

Then Season 4 I've just started working on which is going to include the Les Abres Photograph, a report on Frank Harkness, Emma Flytes personnel file and decommissioned warrant card and my David Cartwright vintage personnel file.

I'll get some photos up asap as soon as I'm satisfied with it all.

Sounds like the project is coming along amazingly well! I can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with, so definitely please post photos when you get the chance. If these turn out half as good as they sound, I’m in for the whole set.
