Ok, laurie posted a Metal Slug 1 insert that got me thinking: has anyone tried to create a box set for the entire series, similar to those for the King of Fighter and Samurai Spirits games?

If so, does anyone have pictures or is it available? If it doesn't exist, has anyone tried? It's something I would love to have and I think many would agree.

Yeah, that'd be pretty sweet. But before we get to that .... Is there a Metal Slug 5 Shockbox insert out there yet???

I don't think so, or at least I've never seen it posted. If anything, someone might've just whipped up a simple on on their own.

I started messing around with ideas with a pencil and paper, and have some pretty nice ideas but, like others, I'm lacking high-res images.
I know some people trade flyers and that, but I'm wondering if there are any great, high resolution Metal Slug images online? Most I found were small, or dead links.

At worst case, I'll print off Big Bear's blank template and talk to some friends and try a hand-drawn look. Don't expect it before the end of the reign of the current monarch, though, but I'll try my damnedest! :D

Thanks lithy!
I've downloaded them and I'm going to try and mess around.

I'm not expecting anything like BIG BEAR, NeoCverA or laurie quality, but I'll see what I can do.

Once MS5 is done (Give me some space - it's my first time :D ,) I'll see if my dumb ass can figure out some concrete plans on a box set.

Update: I have the colour scheme, spine and meg count, as well as a temporary front for a MS5 classic insert. Once the front is finalized, I'll upload it for your flames, I mean, critiques. :mr_t:
I'm hoping Friday or Saturday afternoon at the latest. I'm a busy guy! :lol:

As I mentioned before, I wanted to try my hand at that before a complete box set.

Well, I won't flame, but I also can't make any promises about what some the other animals around here will say.

Anyway, I'm anxious to see how it turns out :D

It was made by another member that just basically joined to show it and then disapeared...

Gah!

I've just learned that it is easier to lay out a newspaper or a magazine than a stupid insert because at least the graphics and photos have been taken care of already. :p
I have, at best, no ability in graphic design so I tried to work with what little skill and what little resources I have.

The front so far just has the colours and the meg size set with the logo thrown on temporarily.
The back has space at the bottom for screenshots. I'm thinking of reworking the text, since I haven't even played the damn game, I had to piece together what I knew! :mr_t: Remember, I volunteered to do this to practice for a (hopefully) professionally hand-drawn by my friend, while I plotted and layed out a complete Metal Slug box set.
I have higher hopes for that than how this is turning out, :lol:

Anyway, here is the link and I hope to revamp as much as I can throughout Friday and the weekend.

I'm hoping next week, I can start on the collection, as I vow that will be at least look better, :D

Hey, I'm having fun and that's all that matters to me. :buttrock:

No, it's pretty small actually - like 3 x 2 inches or something.
