A year ago - when things where normal - I bought this huge plastic Ellegi missile boat at the local boot sale.
It just looked magnificent so it came home with me.
Moonbase Mutt Blue said the box was very 'Ruff' though!
This summer I thought I'd strengthen the box.
I took some old stiff card from a previous life.
Glued the flattened box to the card and lay our heavy rug over it.
After a couple of days I took it out and it looked like this. Stiff and flat.
I re-scored all the box creases and made a few choice cuts and began to re-assemble the box.
I'm currently glueing the sides.
Watch this space for more thrilling box progress very soon!
Whoo Hoo! Package reconstruction! I did a similar thing for an otherwise mint Artistscope I bought on eBay. The outer box was in fragments, so I found a cover art image on Google, cleaned it up in Photoshop, printed it out on my laser printer and glued it to card very much as you did!
ReplyDeleteSir, I salute your packaging skills!
Thanks Looey. I do like messin with boxes. Done a few over the years. This one is huge and ready now. I shall blog the finished result soon. A very sturdy box it is now!
