Console replica boxes

[leonardobiagi]

Hello, everybody!! As I always post everywhere, I have a project to build replica full size boxes for my systems. I've been collecting them since I was a kid (we call collecting now, but really I was always playing the contemporary system and stored them when I got the new one), and never even thought of keeping the boxes, and now, I'm always searching for boxes to buy, but they charge a lot of money in Brazil, so I decided to build some myself. My idea is exactly that, keep them neat and safe and not to fool anyone into thinking they are the original ones, but also to make them look as similar as possible. People've been really helpful everywhere and now I have a lot of art projects done, just waiting for me to print and actually build the box. Someone in a different forum suggested that I'd build mini replica boxes that would look very cool, and indeed they do. So if anyone would like to make one, all you have to do is ask me for a high quality archive of the art and I'll send you. It's really easy to fold.
Anyway, my neverending quest now is for a very rare box to the Videopa G7200, if you have one or know someone that does have it, please try and take some pictures or scans, so I can make the box. I'm also searching for the Intellivision 2 sytem box.
I'll try to post some pics here of what I already have, and if anyone has any interest, please tell me so. I'm not selling or anything, just making them available for whoever like it.
Thanks all in advance.

Leonardo.

Love the idea and more power to you! I'd be interested in a Vectrex console box if it's possible.

Thanks!!! Regular or small sized?

These are super cool. Any plans for other consoles in the future?

I want a launch-era Sega Genesis box. Or og NES launch-era ROB/Gyromite/Duck Hunt box. If that's possible.

Those are beautiful!

I've got a ROB/Deluxe box if he needs high-res images....

If fluid_matrix provide the pics I can start the ROB project as soon as I get them. And I'm gonna ask for the Sega Genesis pictures on other forums as well. If you get someone to send us the pics as well, would be nice.

Someone from a different forum is helping me on those (Sega Genesis box), but I'm still looking for the measurements, which is the most important part of the process. And some close up pics from the console (at the box) the hands with the controller (at the box) and some other pictures that I can use the same from the box and are hard to duplicate.

The ROB is ready https://imgur.com/a/qFi0g
Tell me if you would like the original files to send to you.
Or if you'd rather me assemble it and send it by mail, but it will be expensive. International mail prices from Brazil are rooftop crazy.
And it will take me some more time, because I'm yet to figure out how to print and assemble a big box even for myself. (A decent one at least).

I'm gonna try and start the Sega Genesis box with the info I have. They are re-releasing the Sega Genesis (it's called Mega-Drive) in Brazil in July, and theoretically it will be the same box as the original release, and I pre-ordered it. If I can't get more information on it till then (I still don't have the measurements) I'll get it from the new box.

Now I'm finally starting the Genesis project. I couldn't get anyone to send me hd pictures, but someone sent me nice pictures from ebay. I got the dimensions from my own box.
Here'e the link for you to follow the progress. The front face is already done.

Now the back part of your box. I had to improvise a lot, because I didn't have help with the pictures but the help I got from another member from a different forum who provided detailed but not HQ pictures, but I think it turned out ok. Now to the next step...

Thank you!!!

Yes, I'm making some. I'm working on an Atari 2600 and Odyssey 2's The Voice boxes at the moment, but I take requests. If you are looking for something in particular, all we have to do is find someone willing to take pictures or scan the box and take the measurements. And whenever my projects are finished, I' ll post more pictures.

Regular/full sized please if possible

Sure, no problem. We have a few things to consider though.
1- Would you like me to send the phisical box from Brazil to the USA? (there's no problem with that, only that is going to be a little expensive)
2- Would you like the files so you can print it in a printing place and assemble yourself? (it's a very tricky process, but if you have some manual ability it would be no problem, and it's the cheaper way, with only the costs of printing in adhesive paper and the cardboard.) (and if that's the option, you can have the files right now) (but I would help you with the process of assembling it, sending instructions or making contact.)
3- I'm still to build my own box because the printing places at my hometown are terrible, so I'm in the process of finding the perfect place yet. ANd then do some tests.(so it would take some time until I send you an actual fine box)

But whatever your choice may be, I'll be more than happy to do it. Just let me know.

Sorry for the late reply, but I would definitely prefer option #1 because I don't have a means to print it. Let's take talk about costs to private message if you don't mind. Great work btw!
