Bioshock Infinite (Cook & Becker)

Yeah framing will be interesting. For the large songbird I went to my frame shop with the dimension for an estimate, for the cheapest custom frame it would cost 200 dollars, that was just for the wood, they couldn't order glass large enough to do it and suggested I find a factory to make the glass custom. Throw in matting and nice glass and it will be a fortune, im guessing at least 500 to get the large one framed, the same shop quoted me 200 dollars for museum glass on an 18 by 24 for one of my tomb raider prints. I have no idea where to do this now, let me also know what you find out when that time comes.

I don't know about other manufacturers like Tru-vue, but it seems Flabeg has glass that big, just.




And thinking a little further some high quality plexi would be better suited.

You would not be able to use glass with a cheap frame as it would be too heavy and a frame that large that could actually support glass is damn expensive. You would be better off using plexi (which is more expensive than glass). Either way not cheap.

Just had a brief chat with a local framing company and they have given me a rough price of ?140 for the smaller prints with "Conservation glass"

Just had a quick look and don't think it's as good as museum glass but not far off.

Obviously that's just a rough price will take my print in when I get it for a more accurate price!

Something to consider as well for the larger pieces is a close fit floating box frame with or without glass.

The prints do not need protective glass for UV damage (they are completely protected without. No glass also saves money but of course a shoulder or elbow bump can damage the work without glass...

P.S. In case of severe damage C&B can always assists with replacements.

^ As a general comment - C&B has GREAT customer service! I don't hesitate to buy a lot of their products as a result - it also doesn't hurt to have such great art!

Dead End Thrills took on Infinite as well (don't think they're done).

So, who did the best job (seeing as they're all "screenshots")?

Nice thanks for posting that, never heard of Dead End Thrills before they have got some great shots on the site, from some others games I love as well, Alan Wake for one!

I might be wrong but these aren't for sale are they, just purely for downloading?

Think they have done well, but still love my "Falling" and cant wait for it to arrive!!

Also there is 14 Bioshock Infinate shots well worth checking out!

Just download. Just thought it was worth posting since the C&B is also made from "screenshots".
