Well it's complete! What a beast of a project, but in the end it was completely worth it, I love the way it looks. Now only if I could find the actual film...
So I've proven you can frame a picture this size relatively inexpensively.
1. Wooden Frame - $144.79
2. Acrylic 55x77 - $84.70
3. Artcare Archival Foamboard 4 sheets - $26.00
Total $256.00
Now the Acrylic sheet that I got was actually 75 x 100 and cost $150 so I have acrylic left over for a couple smaller posters (I had two pieces cut to size for German posters, and a really long piece I could probably get a couple inserts or daybills out of), and I bought a box of 25 sheets of Foamboard, so overall I spent a little more money, but they can be used on future framings. Once I found someone local for the acrylic the only hold up was the 2 week backorder on the frame, which came in Tuesday and it took me a few nights to assemble everything together.
