Then it wouldn't suck quite so much. Really. I'm embarrassed for you. That collection makes the baby Jesus cry. And his mom. Even statues of his mom.

(Actually, I just need to pay Garrick for two plates he has done and waiting for me. :) And that is a bytchin' collection.)

Tomdeaf,
I bought the Liverpool plate from ebay...see item #320235571602.
It's a custom plate made by ebay member messymedia out of the UK.
I'm sure he can make you one. If he can't, let me know and I'll send mine to you.

Two actually: KOTOR and Animal. They're almost done. SF trip screwed me up. We haven't done the money part yet though. Anyway, Garrick is taken care of. You guys will see the benefits of THAT in a couple of weeks.

Jak and Nato King
I didn't know Nato King-XBA has a nurse faceplate. Here is what I did to create it.
1. I copied the banner pic from this forum.
2. Found the missing section of the picture on another post and stiched them togather
3. Inverted the picture horizontally
4. Cut and pasted and minipulated pixel by pixel some of the grafitti to blend back in to the background tiles.
5. I printed the image on 2 sheet of Avery 8665 (they're only 8.5 x 11 sheets and faceplates are 11.5 inches long.
6. Used an OEM faceplate as the base.
7. Used a hairdryer to soften the film around the ring of light so it wouldn't tear.
8. Cut all the necessary doors and slots

I want to know where the heck people are getting those printed silver plates. You have some there that weren't in your earlier lot of pics. Like Kameo, PDZ, and both DOA plates.

I want a set of those SO BAD. I'd take a whole set of DOA plates.

159, Do you have any more information at all about where those DOA plates came from? Also, I need to know more about your glossy Bioshock plate. Yours is the only one I've ever seen.

hellonearth159
06-28-2008, 09:05 AM
Spacey,
The DOA plates are my own customs. Regarding Bioshock, I won it in a UK auction back in march. The back of the glossy plate is identical to the matte plate. That's all I know. I won 3 bioshock's in march and I tried each ID and they're not coming up any more (more than 90 days old). I didn't notice the difference until I starting taking pictures of my collection.

SO...

Overlord is messymedia's.
Unreal Tournament III is the pre-order plate.

Chris Chamberlain has a Rumble Roses plate just like that (and he's got a great poster on the wall above it).

Tales of Versperia, there's a great stock file of the art for the plate that I'm assuming you used to make that (I just wish I knew HOW).

Did you MAKE all the others? That Mirror's Edge plate rocks, and the Bad Company is pretty darn hot.

hellonearth159
06-29-2008, 05:40 PM
Sorry, I should have included captions. I'll replace the pic to avoid confusion.
The plates I made are Vesperia, Mirror's Edge, Rumble Roses, and Bad Company.
The Bad Company is on Sand Textured surface.

I'm not bent out of shape or anything, but I was just trying to say that I would buy a custom faceplate from SpaceGhost any day before I buy a factory made one because he does such a good job. But I just didn't see the purpose of you jumping in and critiquing my comment, it was just a friendly compliment.

Ach, you're killin' me.

OK, I have three of the futbol plates and the other three are on the way.

As far as the plates in the top photo, I need either a larger pic that I can pull pics from, or I need larger individual pics, and information about where the plates came from.

#1 Never seen it (or can't tell because I can't see it in the pic)
#2 Air Effex, right?
#3 Gears 2
#4 Redman (HOW in the **** did you manage that one?)
#5 Xbox plate
#6 PoP
#7 Air Effex, right?

**EDIT** Ah, I see. Click on the pic and get a bigger one. That's a better pic of the Redman plate than the one in the database, so I'm stealing that one. Still need better pics and info on all of them if possible.

Oh, and I need to ask you about the Asian Import red and white lightning plates. Do you still have a pair of those to part with?

There are a few of them that I can tell right off aren't in there yet. Some of them are in my "to do" file and others are new to me.

I am sure that Mad Catz makes official plates for every major league team, even if they only have six or eight available on their site, and no NBA plates. The Mar Catz guy has been really hard to get a hold of though.

Can you get me a bigger picture of it? I'll use this one for right now and just replace it, so no time pressure or anything.

Now that I am up to date with plates to be added, I have to go through all of my additional photos and add those where appropriate. I have over 600 "additional" pics. Some are pics of the plates in their packaging. Others are plates on display, so even though it's one photo, it has to be attached to however many plates are in the pic.

Spacey,
Now that you're done, can I also suggest you give each plate a number? It would make it easier to refer to the plate number instead of the name. I think I can get you better pics for some of the plates in the DB.

I can ask Kamshaft to add that to the database, but there's a couple of reasons why we didn't do it. Every plate actually does have a number, but there's a reason we don't show it.

Let's say I add ten plates, and then have to go back and delete #7 because I didn't catch that I already put it in at #4. The #7 then will never have a plate in it, because then next plate I add will be #11. It won't go back and fill #7's hole.

That means if you're looking at a list, it would go: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10... We'd get people wondering what happened to #7. ALL. THE. TIME.

And if we remove #7 and just shove everything forward, it would screw up every number after the one we deleted. You could tell everybody you made #38 and then find out that it's not #38 anymore.

The last plate I added (which I just fixed with the new picture, by the way, and thank you), is the 1410th plate, but its ID number is actually ID #1440. Over 1,500 faceplates, there are 30 that were deleted for one reason or another.

If we do show the numbers, then people will ask why we have 1410 plates but the last one is numbered #1440.
