Title: Vectrex Wraps
Post by: TrekMD on September 06, 2012, 23:45:47 PM
For those you have a Vectrex, there have been a couple of wraps for the console that were available a few years back.  The person who made these will be selling them again.  Info on these can be found here: Vectrex Wraps (//http).

They look smart. Are they easily removed thought? That's what I want to know.

these are cool little things..I was gonna do a selection of something like these for the Icade, but due to the size of the decals, I'd need a high end A3 photo printer to print them, but you could imagine, our very own customised skin for your favorite mini vectrex or arcade machine :)

My understanding is that, yes, they are easily removed.

That is good cause I am not very good at hand-eye coordination. Probably mess them up on the first try.

I think an update for this thread is in order and I'm sorry I'm doing this a little late.  Wraps are once again available to order from Michele.  The last day to preorder them is tomorrow (Feb 28).  You can order the wraps individually (Scramble, YASI, or Protector) or in sets of these.  You can also order them pre-cut or as rolled, complete sheets.  Below is the information for ordering:

Be sure to check out the pictures of the wraps on their main page:  http://www.vectrexwraps.com/VectrexWraps/Home.html (//http)

Looks like really fair prices. I really like the looks of all of them.

Wonder if they would ever do obscure wraps of old arcade games? Something to make the Vectrex look more like an old  arcade machine. Crazy Kong would be my choice. It is Donkey Kong but not really.

It would be great if Michele made more but I think it is hard enough to make just these ones!

These wraps are works of art and did not mean to take away from the effort and time spent.

I have been on an arcade machine kick. Would love to own one but do not have the space or funds. Thought it would be nice to have the look on a Vectrex.  Which these wraps really add to the look but as usual I am trying to be cheap on getting my own arcade machine. :21:

Michele has joined RVG, so maybe he can give more details about creating these.  :)

Hello to everyone here!

Thank you TrekMD to invite me :-) ..  The Vectrexwraps Project started in the far 2005 and the first print arrived  then in 2007; after this nice experiment i was convinced by more people that this idea would have been nice to be even for other vectorial games... but the time and the life took me aside leaving the second run of this project a little bit aside...
 
The time is arrived now in 2014; i ended the design of Scramble and like separate wraps also YASI and Protector are been re-designed for colors and some more nicer details.

 I did a video over the Scramble application ten days ago... and you can see it here  :

Vectrex Wraps Scramble 2014 (//http)

Next week the print work will start ... and by 10th of march the shipments will be done to everyone ordered it.

Next week i'll try to post more images

I really like the 'YASI' skin.  The Scramble one is too bright yellow for my tastes.
