[QUOTE="GrenadeKing, post: 5174110, member: 4134"] The lighting on these could have been better but, this is my last dynamite attempt. I printed it out at an angle to spiral wrap it like the film pieces and wax dipped them. I've been using cheap manila craft paper and aside from always looking a little different I think it's good compromise between the real deal and the film. I did find a really good color of paper at an office supply store but I haven't gotten around to testing it with wax. I did try acrylic clear coat. It doesn't change the color of the paper like wax does but it always feel sticky which is unpleasant. Maybe a spray on coating would work better. As far as the logo, it's probably... 95% accurate at least. Just can't figure out the dates and if we cant get better screenshots then, educated guess is all we can do. Cool thing about wax is that it makes these water and snow proof. [ATTACH type="full"]1432818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]1432819[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
