Seems to take a long time to open all the boxes. Nonetheless it looks really good.
It doesn't take longer than opening ziplock bags (which is the alternative, as the storage solution in the box doesn't work with the expansions). And most of them are only needed when you pick a race. And the coins are much more accessible in those boxes then when floating on the table.
Are them available in the file section? I like to give this tuck boxes a try.
I have asked Days of Wonder for permission to upload them, and am awaiting an answer. It is a Powerpoint file - is that OK with you?
btw, they are not "tuck boxes" as such - the boxes have a removable lid.
Whoa, nice idea the removable lid! I'm definitively interested at this file! I usually use Photoshop for graphic works, and if you are planning to upload the file here on BGG i suggest you convert it into a PDF for better compatibility, but also a power point file will not be a problem (for me). Hope to hear good news soon!
(honestly, while it is nice you asked DoW's permission, you would probably be ok just posting it.)
It is sooo difficult to get a straight answer on that. I tried here with little succes. The Terms of Service aren't written in a language I'm familiar with. I do have to answer those copyright questions while uploading, and I honestly don't feel like I can answer that I own the copyright to this material.

Well, there have been plenty of other people who have uploaded similar boxes, with artwork, which are absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if any of them got permission from the publishers, but take a look at things like http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/37638/battlestar-galac.... You'd have to ask hholzgraffe if she got permission for these or not, since I don't know. But either way, I'm glad she uploaded them, because they really helped my game get organized. But, this whole thing is off topic, so whatever.
Maybe one possible solution is to upload the plans for the plain boxes, and then explain the steps you took to create the artwork component. You would then not be including any potentially copyright-protected material in your files.
What's this!? A picture on the front page, without the benefit of cats, scantily-clad girls, or stuffed dolls? An actual picture of a game, by itself, without the obligatory thumb-boosting props? What moderator approved such a thing? Has this place gone soft? Robert, your picture is certainly pleasant enough, and in fact, it is downright useful and relevant to a boardgaming site. Have you gone mad? I would strongly advise you to reconsider your picture-taking in the future. For starters, please consider retaking this picture with the addition of one or more girls holding the box, perhaps a cat sitting in the box, and a collection of stuffed toys surrounding the box, thereby completing a proper boardgame photographic scene. Please bear in mind, there are site standards to uphold!

Well, he has a cat as an avatar. Doesn't that count for something?

I uploaded a tile for Blue Moon City on BGG, in which I scanned the original tile into my computer, then added to it. I was afraid I'd get in trouble due to copyright, but it was approved the next day. I have a feeling you would be ok, but you have to do whatever you are comfortable with.

But they do take a long time to make.
I am gonna have to correct you on this. I came up with a storage solution for the expansions, while keeping the original insert. Granted yours looks cooler, nice work. But if you wanna see mine, its here:
Oh. Small World is always such a PITA with its default insert.. I like those boxes with lids. But it would be nice to have some kind of a holder for them. Usually i have to bring games in a bag on my shoulder, so i'm afraid those boxes would suffer from constant shaking while walking.

Says another guy with a cat avatar. Don't think I don't see what's going on here, Phil. I know you cat guys always stick together. Harumph! Good day to you, sir!
I'm still waiting for reply from Days of Wonder. I also have another file submission waiting for approval here - and there's absolutely no problem with that one. So they are probably hit by the summer vacation period.
I'll post a note here when they are approved (as I expect they will be).
