Rack Toy Recess

 With the Missus happy gardening, I've taken a break to bag up my latest mini monster creations for safe-keeping.

Not good enough for the full packaging effort, I've placed the Cronos bug and the Lifeforce ship in simple cellophane bags.

Then I added small 'movie' labels,  which we can print at home and a custom Zodiac price tag each courtesy of Bill. The missus's stamp set provided the price!

Complete and punched, here they are hung on my kitchen 'shop' rack! 

What do you think readers? Mom and Pop store material?

    1. Ha ha! Thanks Arto! It's jogged a memory too, that I once tried to create a Project SWORD toy shop shelf look. It's on MC somewhere from the bad old days!

    I do not recall seeing headers like that in one corner ? Can you print full width header cards for that vintage toy rack look ? The price stickers are a nice period touch. Great models.

    2. I only have a micro printer at home Paul. It prints matchbox size images and I didn't think these quick customs justified full packaging - backing card and blister for example - from the 'art' department, but I do take your point and did think about the full shabang.

  4. Youre going to need an entire shop for all these customs, never mind a rack! Bill
