As part of my ongoing project to tidy up my collection, I have had a go at some home made packaging. With a little [ well, a lot really ] help from Bill here is a DIY carded Task Force 1 from Tarheel of the USA. I've had the loose toy for a few years and just fancied housing it on its own blister card.
Bill created the backing card from scratch based on reference material on the blog and laminated it. I backed this with thicker card, trimmed the lot and formed a triangular blister from some plastic sheet taken from a box of Xmas crackers.
To allow me to get to my toy in the future I've simply attached the blister with velcro fasteners. Not a perfect finish but it'll do for the Moonbase collection! What do you think?
Cool Woodsy! Homemade or custom packaging seems to be a trend - the playset guys have been doin' it for a couple years now. What's next in the queue?
ReplyDeleteI've done a couple more Ed since doing this one. Cheers. One is a neat SpaceX toy. I'll blog them soon. Home-made packaging is a matter of home economics for me. Its a lot of fun too!
ReplyDeleteVery convincing indeed, great job Woodsy!
