After years of individually wrapping NZ120 models in paper towels and storing in makeshift cardboard boxes I decided it was time to create some storage boxes that were a bit more versatile without getting too complicated.
Now I must admit I stole the basic idea from one of Kiwibond's old posts - keyboard boxes.
So after a hunt around the IT department at work I acquired half a dozen to use.
I then bought some cardboard from the local stationery shop, however the thought about cutting up a lot dividers by hand stalled the project for a couple of weeks.
So, enter the laser man.
Cardboard is one of the easier materials to laser cut, so half an hour with CAD and we have a laser CAD file ready to go.
This was dropped off with the cardboard for lasering and a few days later and a lot of dividers, all exactly to size with no missing fingers or bloody finger prints are ready to go.
Pretty obvious from here, assemble a criss-cross thing and drop it in the box, by the way the cat is an optional extra.
Line the box with bubble wrap, I have the bubbles facing inward, it seems to provide a bit of "grab" on the model and stops the models moving about.
Add a couple of strips of self adhesive Velcro to hold the box securely closed and it's done.
And of course if you watch the right TV programs you will know these things take time to do, so here's one I prepared earlier...

That cat looks 1000% evil
How did you get the LED's in the eyes?
It's got an effective sound decoder too, especially at dinner time.
