 :-({|= Hi  :-({|=

Just wanted to say "Wow!"

That MC repro box looks absolutely amazing. I hope (is that even a word?) that by the time you have them legitimately for sale that I meet the requirements to maybe purchase one, yesh?

Or I could offer a back rub to persuade, hmm-hmm? :3

I don't have The Chase of Magicals, though one day I hope (that word again) that I can at least obtain it loose, or at least get a pc engine copy for decent-o price perhaps-ish. which leads me into a question thingy sort of deal..

Has anyone ever looked into a reproduction manual of MC, like are there scans out there or something and junk? I would love to hold that manual... and pretend... that I... actually had that somewhat better than decent shmup/c'mup... A man can dream, yesh?

My heart... XOXOXO <3

Sparky's made nice looking inserts for Magical Chase (amongst others) which aren't complete manuals but are a great way to give looseys a home.

seeing as NZ is kinda backwards we have lots of sizes of poly, i might be able to help source sheets of the stuff, the real challenge is getting it cut square, other than a sharp knife, anyone have thoughts?
Looking for (MINT ONLY)
US Manual : Magical Chase, Shockman 
US Box : Turrican,  Soldier Blade, New Adventure Island, Neutopia II
Other : Sapphire OBI, Turbo Play Aug/Sept 90, April/May 92, Turbo Edge Spring 90

I filled my boxes with extruded poly (its higher density is better for crush protection and I couldn't find better eps), cutting it with a retractable snap-off blade thingy.  If you can't get square cuts, try some sort jig to hold the blade perfectly vertical (something like this but with a longer blade), or maybe a hot knife.

Found styrofoam to fit the boxes, just a touch bigger... Just Don't buy a 10 foot strip of it on a windy day... Haha... My god it broke on my way to the car 3 times....It was a laugh to all that saw me... I ended up landing about a 4 foot piece after I got to the car... The rest..... Bye, bye. :P


Draw will be on Sunday, thanks for your patience guys.... Hugs

So now we just need  supply o the plastic trays to complete what is an awesome looking repro.

I was thinking about repro trays the other day after we were discussing vacuum forming in the chatbox.  If you had a decent model of the original I bet you could vacuum form some decent replacements.
