Could've at least gotten rid of that piece of pyramid though

My X-Men First Class from Plau since of course it didn't come with any interior art. Felt like this image best represent the entire movie.

Here are my first attempts at full inside art incl spine.

Avatar (also changed case to 3 disc to hold extended edition)

Expendables

Hangover

Added & reworked some spines. Can download HERE for those that are interested.

I'm sorry but although I have found the thread which shows how to replace the spine-label, I can't find the right template to detirmine how the inside spine should be printed in order to have the entire inside artwork cover both the spine and both insides. Could anyone tell me if such a template is available?

Tried reading the entire thread but couldn't find anything ... although I was skimming it...

Thanks!

Easiest way i found mate is using a hair dryer

get the hair dryer and warm the spine for about 30 seconds than using either a old card or knife slowly slide it underneath the spine, carefull as they bend very easy.

Than to stick back on i use double sided clear tape.

I got a bit impatient. Didn't have glossy paper in the house so used regular inkjet paper.

How much difference will I see in quality ? Anyway, here's my Drive effort.

AnubisNefer · 01-28-2012, 06:58 PM

Looks good! Clean and slick, just like the rest of the steelbook

Drum18 · 01-28-2012, 07:01 PM

Nice job Orton31291!!! Too bad you didn't put some art on the inside spine.

Orton31291 · 01-28-2012, 07:30 PM

I only just started this yesterday!

I didn't want to damage it just yet. Will practice on one of my other steelbooks

PS3_Kiwi · 01-28-2012, 07:46 PM

I'm gonna use the same artwork, and will probably attempt the spine too. I have only done one spine art job before, and although I had a few problems (including creasing the spine metal) it looked pretty good. (see #294 on this thread)

Boiling water, a credit card, two-sided scotchtape and some patience my friend will do the work.

Orton31291 · 01-28-2012, 08:35 PM

I can't see anything wrong with that one, looks great Kiwi. I'm not really sure if I can be bothered to go through the process of removing the spine. Looking at Blu's tutorial seems like too much can go wrong. I'll experiment when I get the tools together.

Orton31291 · 01-28-2012, 10:15 PM

It looks like people clean off all the glue. Then as long as the replacement glue is translucent, people use it. I've seen pritt stick, double sided tape and many other types recommended.

OK. So I managed to remove my Green Zone spine using a knife. It bended slightly at the bottom but I think it's OK! Phew.

Blu-Boy in BKK · 01-28-2012, 10:51 PM

It just takes a little patience. It is wellmworth it in the end. I love your artwork Btw? It domes up the movie perfectly, kudos.

PS3_Kiwi · 01-29-2012, 12:02 AM

Posting in, and reading this thread, made me want to have a go at another SteelBook, so I dragged out one of my less coveted titles (Expendables UK) and decided to practice on this before attempting work on Drive.

I soaked the spine in hot soapy water for 5 or 6 minutes, but when I came to remove it, some areas were still quite hard, and I got some creases in the spine, but hey, it was for practice, and it looks okay. Here is a pic.

Orton31291 · 01-29-2012, 12:22 AM

What adhesive did you use ? I haven't got anything suitable in the house (nothing translucent) so going to buy something tomorrow. Is a strong pritt stick good enough ?

PS3_Kiwi · 01-29-2012, 12:41 AM

^ I used a Bic Glue Stick which dries clear. I am not happy with this, it took me several coatings before I finally got it to stay down. Ask at the store if they can recommend something better.
