Hey guys, haven't been on much lately. Had a lot of family in town. Excited to hear about a new set, now just figuring out how to afford it. Anyhow, I did a quick 10 minute frame job using only foam board, poster board, a utility knife, scissors, and a tape measure. I was more or less figuring out if it would work out if i spent money on some nicer material/tools. I think it came out ok. The fiancee picked out some of her favorites to put in, nothing exceedingly rare, but that wasn't really the point. Anyhow, I found a front opening frame, so the cards can be easily interchanged. I'll upload some pictures below to let you see how it turned out, just click to enlarge. (I know some lines aren't exactly perfect, far from it on a couple spots
, but this was practice, with no real tools) Let me know if anyone has any tips for when I get to the final project later. I checked into the cost of a professional matte being cut, for 10 cards, its over 50 bucks (Pretty steep for me). I already added the museum glass for protection as well.
They are a little blurry, took them from my phone. The cards in there are mostly from mm2 as well as a couple from hbp/hbpu, they are
Proclamation Frames and Glass
Ron's Compass
Sleeping Bags and Hospital Wing Sheets (Star Variant)
Fleur Double Costume
Luna's Spectrespecs
Textbook pages (Numbered Variant)
Cho and Hermione Yule Ball Gowns (Corrected Version)
Michael Gambon Auto
Fawkes and Mandrake (#001)
Helena Bonham-Carter Auto
Thanks for looking! Any feedback or help is appreciated.
