Thread: Original Razor box restoration

2knives, I have been pondering on getting one of these for a while...I know what you mean about the "old" look. Once you get to the site you have to look around for one that is not sold...There are still a couple left.

Scaramanga - Leather Satchel & Messenger Bags

Among many other things, creating replica boxes have been on my list of things to do for some time. Too many ideas and not enough time, however.

I've gone as far as soaking several different types in water overnight and I've separated the cardboard core from the outer paper. The core would be used as a template. It's rigid cardboard. The outer papers, faux leather, etc will be the challenge since they're so thin.

The old Sheffield coffin exteriors look to be almost papier mache over the cardboard and then look to be painted with a black paint/glue.
