+pboland Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 What brand/model number is the cutting plotter? Nothing fancy (Silhouett Cameo). I needed something cheap until I could save up for something better. It's normally used for scrap booking but it seems to work really nicely for odd shaped cart labels (see http://atariage.com/forums/topic/146231-colecovision-labels-thread/?p=3375111). I'm also working/using it for Colecovision (Can I say that here?) super action controller overlays, and INTV/Coleco/5200/2600 video touch pad overlays.

+pboland Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Please update all of us us on this, they look incredible!!! Admittedly I'm taking way too long on this project. It's one I work on in between regular jobs. This entire project was one I really shouldn't have announced as early as I did. It has posed many challenges for me to overcome as far as making certain things. So far I've learned to make foil cart labels, found a better way to cut overlays (and labels), made my laminating process much better, and improved greatly with digital image editing with several different software programs for different purposes. This little project actually made me rethink and retool my entire process with overlays, labels, diskette sleeves, and even small run boxes. This project actually started back in 2014. It will be the last hand cut overlay project I do (extremely time consuming), but it is getting closer to being finished. The majority of the overlays are cut to size as you can see from this image: I still need to design/print/make one more overlay and a print/make two special edition foil trending cards. Then it is just a matter of scoring, folding, and assembling each box. It will happen this year. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Assembling the boxes is not what's holding these up. I should be assembling by mid September and ready to sell by late September. More news to come! Edited August 27, 2016 by pboland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDont00 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Glad somebody replied to this today. I am definitely interested in a set of these in a pretty box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 We are getting really close. I would say the week after Thanksgiving I will be ready to go with these (Finally!). Remember I do not take pre orders. Here's a picture to show just how close this is: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 For each set you buy over two, the price goes up $5 from the last one you bought. You are spending some serious $$ there.
