Hiya Gino,
Could you make available your soda box downloads from back in March(?)
I've tried to download them from the original post (after a site search) and keep gettinga no-no.
Thanks
Tom

Tom,

I have Gino's soda boxes saved in Power Point format. (Just open and print) If you still don't have them by this time tomorrow PM me and I will email the file to you.

Hey Tom,

did you get those to print out OK?? I tried to print them, but they came out kind of small. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Glad you guys found them. Don't know why they wouldn't print out correctly. If anyone else has problems with them, just let me know.

I have just used these boxes for my Abrams and they are excellent. I used two razor blades and folded them much like PE. The razor blades sure helped in getting a nice, tight fit on the finished box.

Edit: I downloaded them several months ago and it seems like the Powerpoint link is broken now.

Seems the PPT link was broken when Armorama moved to a new server a couple months back. If there are any mods looking at this... could you please look at restoring it. I can also resend the file if needed.

Thanks.

There are modern MREs on the sheet which Scott (Slodder) posted (4th post in this tread).

Paul, Many thanks for something that I have been seeking for an uncountable number of years. Now if only they came with the oatmeal blocks and sweeties in this scale, as I miss them terribly.

Somo, Giancorno,
Just click the link Scott provided (fourth post down)

Gary,
I'm not sure there's a size issue. Are they smaller than they should be?
If they shold be bigger how can you tell?

Just an idea but if someone ever does anything like these again, could they draw a scale in (i.e. _________________'this line shold be 4cm long for 1/35 scale')

I used boxes from both sheets in my latest Abrams, and the seize looks just ok to me. I guess the Coke boxes are for cans, and water boxes for 1.5 litre bottles.

Ehm... my real name is GIACOMO! If someone was aware of GIANCORNO (literally, the English for it is "John Horn") I would be joked through the rest of my life! :-)

I don't know about the size of those boxes, but there's definitely something wrong with them..They don't just print out as sharp as those on Erik's Abrams.

I think the way they are saved as a JPG on here distorts them and causes a loss in clarity. If the PPT link on mine can be restored, they will print out as clear as your printer will allow and will be sized perfectly. If anyone still needs/wants the PPT file, send me an email or PM and I will get it to you.

SIMO,
Here are my boxes I printed from Gino's file and the other one mentioned. Could it be the printer you are using?

They appear fairly blurred to me too and don't print out well at all and I've got a fairly high end printer.

Gino, just pm'd you would appreciate your file if possible please.
