I'll be wanting one of these for sure. Maybe even 2.

Need to find a more efficient way of cutting these plates. I think the extra thickness on them give it a more professional feel to it, just a pain in the arse.

What do you think Jammin0? Since you got both. Or Dodd, is the thickness to your liking??

jammin0 · « **Reply #161 on:** February 01, 2013, 02:10:22 pm »

Thicker is definitely better. I filed the edges a bit when I got mine because they were a little sharp but everything else about the thicker is better.

Did you ever look at those caution signs at home depot? I picked one up because they were super cheap and I just started messing around to see how workable it is and I am able to cut it using a straight edge and razor blade. I don't think it is straight aluminum or steel. Has kind of a little bit of a silver/bronze color to it.

I don't have a file but I will remember that when I make another batch.

As for the tree stumps, I have no idea. I saw the book of kells though (they lie to the tourists, it isn't the actual book - a fake it is! My host is a PHD student there)

Will add the stumps to my "things to visit" list, thanks.

I will get started on your replacement plates boss, hope you enjoyed the prison letter you received in the mix up AJ

This has become a 'must have' item on BYOAC. I want a custom serial plate from CoryBee on my arcade cabinets! Great stuff.

Hmmmm I think I want one. I'm kinda confused with the price now, how much

Malenko · « **Reply #174 on:** March 06, 2013, 05:19:44 pm »

I need another for a project Im doing. About the same size as the galaga one, how much?

CoryBee · « **Reply #175 on:** March 06, 2013, 05:22:39 pm »

10 monies

CoryBee · « **Reply #176 on:** March 06, 2013, 07:53:40 pm »

Keep in mind guys I wasn't trying to make any money off of this, just using the extra supplies to provide you fine fellas with something to accent your cabinets.

The ten is pretty much for labor, when I run out of supplies it will be more; if I decide to continue to make them. The two of you who donated generously for your plates, thank you very much!

I have one sheet of steel left that can probably fit 8 - 12 plates. So come and get em' while they last.

Malenko · « **Reply #177 on:** March 06, 2013, 10:53:21 pm »

it'd be for this:

You know the drill, send me the edited photoshop file or the information you want me to put on the serial plate and I will add it to the list.

Cheers

Good to know, I need to design my serial plate during the weekend.

CoryBee · « **Reply #180 on:** March 07, 2013, 11:42:54 pm »

alright fellas, need those who want a plate to send me a PM with your design ideas or the gimp\photoshop file so I can add it to the print page. I am going to try and get Mcseforsale his plates to him since he is over-due, all he got was a prison letter last time.

I will remind you, after this print I will have to increase the price (need more materials)...probably to $15 where it will stay indefinitely. I would give them for free if I could, but time is a luxury.

If I can fill 8 spots I will give one away for free to a random member who places an order

Malenko · « **Reply #181 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:08:28 am »

I am definitely getting 1, you Ok with me paypaling now, and sending you the art tomorrow? I'm at work, cant work on the design until tonight

Can't fit a chisel tip screw driver in there and pry it out??

CoryBee · « **Reply #190 on:** March 10, 2013, 01:44:52 pm »

Need those who want one on this run to submit their orders, Mcseforsale has been waiting too long already.

Send designs to the same email, I give it one day more - maybe two if I am lazy.

CoryBee · « **Reply #191 on:** March 11, 2013, 11:37:07 pm »

Okay, I wont keep you waiting Mcseforsale. Starting them when I get back from the store.

mcseforsale · « **Reply #192 on:** March 12, 2013, 12:08:31 pm »

These turned out better than the last batch, temperatures are ideal now.

Awesome! I tried to scan the letter, but it's in pencil and is pretty light. Those look great. Get them here! NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!NOW!

Touched up

Er Mah Gerd!!! must have one of these for my cabinet,

I keep throwing money at it, but nothing is happening!

seriously though, what must i do to get one of these made, serial number 1102201210151983 (release date for Wreck it Ralph and my Birth date 'cause i built the cab it's going on') I've put so much time into this Fix It Felix Project that im dreaming about it, helping Sjaak with sprites and building a cab at the same time, it's driving me bonkers, but this plate would be like icing on the cake.

Looking spiffy guys, glad my addition of a "Logo" or "Character" to the left caught on, I really like the way it looks with this.

What I did to make life easier with GIMP was to only change the text than export it as a high rez png file. Adding the "Logo" or special texts in Photoshop. Super simple stuffs.

Hopefully Jammin0 will get a better camera soon, but I thought I would share the extra christmas serial plate I made for him (hopefully he uses it). It is my take on a dedication plate for underneath the main plate. Dedication goes to the main game characters or what-have-you.

Sorry for the super crappy rez picture of it, couldn't fine the main png file for it to upload (you get the idea)

pffft!! must have that ralph one as well... finally got done reading the entire thread, do you plan on making the higher quality metal ones again?

CoryBee · « **Reply #197 on:** April 13, 2013, 10:01:33 pm »

I was actually thinking of doing another run of these, higher quality metal of course. I wouldn't go back to making them with soda cans after I found a cheap source of steel.

Making one for the Helicopter game. Anyone else who wants one speak up now because I might not be making them for several if not a lot of months away after this batch.

$15 for one

If CoryBee decides to not pursue this new business enterprise, you might want to try this individual. He is on the Rebelscum star wars forum and he makes custom plaques for props. http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1096550/

thanks for the heads up, being that this forum was the first to get me out of "lurker" mode and the whole fix it felix project insanity, i really want to keep it in the "family", but like you said, if Corybee doesnt want to make them, then i would have to seek another source. again thanks for the heads up.
