JOHNNY, 10/10 well done ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ![[Wink]](wink.gif) (oops, & spell mistake, Darn, yes the ads on the box are for ad reel 6 and not number 4.
Just a bit of fun,
Well, whilst awaiting more art work, this is one i did for the 3 x 400ft Star Trek T M P, all the blue was repainted in order for me to use our own English only text plus an approx run time, we know its not quite an hour long but to sit down with a stop watch is not something i want to do,although over the next full showing of all our films over 400ft long we are going to change running times on the covers to correspond more acuratly. (John, i'll find a better challange for you, i'm bound to have one somewhere on here)

Brad, thats correct it was a still from Scars of Dracula, i did try to get a good still of the end ice seqeunce near the end but thought this still was a good representation of Dracula himself.
The real photo images idea for me came from the columbia 400ft cut down series, they seem to go thruogh a stage of doing this and we have some good originals form The big mouth with Jerry Lewis, Guns of Navarone and 40guns to Apache pass. This then pushed me in that sort of direction as with these examples,
My gripe with this one is the lack of "Super 8 400ft b/w sound"
which we can add as and when.
This item was purchased as the original release of 2 x 400ft, ive joined them onto 1 x 800ft spool and i made this particular label to cover the entire size of the 800ft box, now covered with the sticky plastic it looks good and also has the protective strength, and wipes clean very easily.
So far,(& i've got boxes covered going back well over 10 years)the backed plastic doesnt turn yellow like cellotape does so they look as good now as they always did.

very proud, myself, the film is the thing, but nice to know you
folks go that extra yard, well done!

Pat, we've seen your box art, and it's superb, now there are certain people on this forum that require your skills in box making,
I'll drop one name, "Darth" Vidar, from the land of ice & snow,
would love a heap of these bloody things, what's the chance?
I used to be involved in "Time & Motion " studies, so a few hours
marking out. a few hours cutting, and a few glueing. A "nice little earner" as Del Boy would say of "Fools & Horses" fame. Pat your
name could be up in lights. "Pat's the man, For a box, not a can". Seriously Pat, there is a market out there for your skills,
"Carpe Deum" my friend.

Well done. Some of my own films have re made artwork and look pretty smart when printed onto glossy paper as well.
