Did he glue the tiles and had the mount go as high as the tiles go?
Did you throw the plastic bag with the numbering away or keep it?
Me, I am thinking about putting it on the back of the frame.

The bag is indeed attached to the back of the frame.
Nothing is glued, the mount is about the same thickness at the
tiles so it sits almost flush. Less than ยฃ20 to frame

Space Invader shop is open!, by Cedric Mnich on Nov 19, 2010 14:22:07 GMT 1, Hey, whl10, where are u in NH ?
I am a UNH alumni ('97) :-)
Still waiting for my IK13 though I am in France :-) was expedited today it seems.
I just opened my IK7 and still wondering what to do with them... Was thinking about framing but some friends advised me to put it on a wall as it is in the streets... Don't want to glue permanently, so thinking about a way to do it or not... Anyone has tried the street art way at home ? pics welcome !

i am having the same dilemna as you regarding how to hang. as i said eariler in the thread i have a small brick wall in my room from what used to be a fire place i am thinking of putting it on to give it that street look. however i like the way people have framed theirs with some of the embossed prints that were released the last couple years and now it has me second guessing myself. luckily this doesnt take up much space whilst i make a decision

Space Invader shop is open!, by Cedric Mnich on Nov 19, 2010 20:59:33 GMT 1, Sunapee, may have been around, a good friend of mine lived in Claremont. I remember climbing some small mountain close to Claremont with a nice surrounding view and visited the St Gauden museum. I see there is a lake close to Sunapee. Nice area.
That brick wall sounds a good spot, if you find a way to paste it without damageing it nor leaving it permanently... Putting the kit next to a print looks really good, but not always easy to match the colours.
for jackstranger, the signature is on the plastic bag... like many, I think it does not justify the price increase as the plastic bag can hardly be displayed... If I was Invader I would rather include a signed card or thing to display next to the invader, but I'm not :-)

Compared to usual invaders it is smaller by 2 rows on both sides !!! But still 200 euros... Just mailed orbi to say I was really disappointed and a bit gutted.

Someone mentioned the size here after I had ordered it and I did not really care about it, happy enough to catch my first invader online (my ohter one was bought on second market). I did not ask for a payback, I keep it of course but I am disappointed by the size / price nevertheless.

Space Invader shop is open!, by murdock on Nov 21, 2010 11:47:38 GMT 1, Yes, great combination with the Binary Bug!
I would suggest white open frames (like for a canvas) for both.
For me, the IK 13 came totally great together with a Murakami - Time Bokan I already had and an Invasion White I just bought here from the forum.
Unfortunately, I do not know, how to insert images here... Any help?
