What to do with all these classic kits I've been building? I want to hang on to them for use at shows, so they need boxing up, but making boxes is a faff.
Another issue is that the boxes the kit came in. These have survived decades, so it seems a shame to condemn them to the recycling box.
Then it occurred to me. The models will fit in their original boxes with a little bit of modification.
Adding an inner set of walls, made from Daler Board glued to the walls of the box bottom, allows the lids to be high enough up to fit the finished model.
Better still, I don't need to label the boxes, as the contents are plain to see!

I remember one American magazine that would comment, atthe end of a car kit review, whether the assembled car would fit back in the original box.
usually if it didn't the problem was the couplers sticking out.
Telling readers if a finished kit would fit back in the box used to be a standard part of any review in the old day's.
