Title: Tuck Boxes for Mathguy89 tiles
Post by: chr15lynn on March 18, 2009, 01:29:51 am
Apologies for the double post, but you can also get henry sunset's tuckboxes at
http://boardgamegeek.com/file/info/31131


I'm testing the waters a bit here - and I'm not sure if this is allowable - But I've tweaked one of henry's tuckboxes to make a home for my Mathguy89 tiles.
I've made a few changes in artwork as well as added flaps to the box at the opening. 

Credit is given to mathguy, Novelty and henry on the back of the box.

I was thinking about making boxes for the fan-made expansions mathguy2008 and mathguygamma as well.....all these custom tiles need a home too!

Can I please get some feedback on this idea and any copyright (?) or other issues?

Looks good.  What card did you print the box on?  You might want to start a new thread for your own tuckboxes so that you aren't stealing someone else's thunder :)

Chris, my advice is that you can't go wrong by contacting the author of any material and asking permission to use/modify/extend his or her work. Most people are fairly good about such things.

Sorry for the thread-jacking   :-[  ....the thread seemed to digress a bit into lots of box ideas and I got caught up in the idea!
If a MOD would be so kind as to move my post to a new thread I would appreciate it.

I used cover stock card (67lb-148g/m2) which is the same I use to make Papercraft.  It's easy to work with, strong, holds it's shape well and isn't very expensive (I think it was about $12cdn at Staples for 250sheets).

I'll contact Henry to see if he's ok with me tweeking his work before I make or post any other boxes.

Thanks for the feedback!

UPDATE:  I've spoken with Tom (henrysunset) and he has given me permission to use his tuckboxes as I please.  Nice guy!

If anyone else would like some custom tuckboxes made, let me know!   ;)

Yes sir!  Already under way.....   ;D
I'll update when completed.  Do you want them in a .pdf so they can be uploaded and shared?


Cheers,
Chris

OK, for those who have been asking me for the pdf of the tuckboxes, they are now available on the Public Downloads (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=62) page.

Chrislynn, do you think you can send to me the 3 Mathguy tuck boxes and the Perky Dragon tuckbox just to complete that section please?  Thanks.

Sure!  I just finished the 3 Mathguy tuck boxes last night actually and I should be able to do the Perky Dragon one this weekend.  I'll email them to you.     8)

Thanks.  I've got them and will upload them when I get the time this weekend.

So what's next?  Can I get tuckboxes for Wizard of Oz and Fairy Tales please?

I registered here yesterday and I just have to say what a fantastic work you guys have made on these "fan expansions" and all the craftwork along with it! I look forward to print these one's out and have xx new expansions to play! So glad for this, I thought the expansions in my local store was all to find but now I discovered this goldmine!

Thank you all!! :)

Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy all of the expansions here (and maybe try doing some yourself  ;))

Welkom dempa!  Yeah, the Mathguy expansions are nice.  You can download more at the Public Downloads (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=62).

Yes I have seen them, a lot there is!
If you could recommend 3 expansions or other (like the mathguy's) - which one's would that be?

And also, how do I get access to those "member-downloads" that the mainpage talks about?

If the link still works, you should have a password in your profile. But I don't think the link works anymore. Most of the stuff is now in the general downloads area.
