first one looks best, maybe for the second artwork flip the image so that "driver" is on the left side of the case,

I kinda like that there's a 'surprise' underneath the disc

Would use either the 1st or 2nd

Don't worry Nekelstal. From the pic it doesn't looks too bad. The double image works really well

Lleyton · 02-13-2012, 06:18 PM

bit of a long shot but does somebody have the inside art for the UP jumbo steelbook?

here is a scan of the 2 inside and i have started to make a spine but was wondering if any1 has the original.

Orton31291 · 02-13-2012, 06:30 PM

A quick google search and I found the same image here if this is what you mean
http://ones2watch4.com/content/wp-co...y/up/up_up.jpg

Got my French Drive SB today and that has the same artwork I used for the UK one so I'm going to redo it. At the moment I'm messing about on photoshop with a simplistic white background but it's a big contrast to the outside of the case which is black/pink. Not sure if it would work.

Agreed. That looks awesome!

Legend mate, have been looking for days for that image lol.

will start on converting my UP steelbook.

Wow, this is all a lot of information to take in. I'm about to attempt my first insert with the Drive steel, so I'm hopin' I won't mess things up when I disassemble it (I already creased the spine up on my X-Men:First Class fr steel last night using a club card *sigh*)

Orton31291 · 02-13-2012, 10:07 PM

I also creased the spines on the first two SteelBooks that I operated on.

Then I received some help from another collector, and his suggestion works brilliantly. It helps a lot to soften the glue before attempting to remove the spine.

Remove the front and back panels from your SteelBook, bring a pan of water to the boil, then reduce the temperature until its just simmering. Hold the spine on the plastic insert in the water for 5 minutes or so (keep it from touching the bottom), then you should be able to remove the spine easily with a thin card (I use a guitar pick, works really well). Use a gentle sawing motion, and the spine will come off crease free. The plastic insert wont melt.

Good Luck!

That's a completely original idea, and it works well. Congrats.
