Storage and Display

The most common question I get asked (apart from how do I find the time to do this in the first place – try not to think about that one too much) is what do I do with the models when I have made them:

Monthly storage in a shoebox on top of our china cabinet (no, not the most elegant of things, but practical until something else comes along). I like to display a couple of days back, particularly if there are some nice models amongst the month.

After a monthly picture is taken, the month’s folds are then archived in a plastic box (must look to source some silica gel sachets to keep them dry – humidity causes some to unfold). It looks like the archive box is about the right size – it is nearly 1/3 full and I am nearly 1/3 of the way through this adventure.

The aim will be to get these all out again and photograph them together in a 365 image.

… well, you did ask.

March Done and Dusted

Wow, this month seems to have gone on forever:Looking back there have been sone awesome models in the month of March (which sadly raises the bar for subsequent months I guess) – hedgehog, jack-in-the-box and more.

Models put away in the archive box, a new month begins…

February, Done and Dusted

Month 2 done and dusted – looking back some notable models, lots of complicated ones too (hope I have not peaked too early):

Quite happy with progress so far, but with 306 still to do there is no time to relax just yet.

January, Done and Dusted

Wow, January is over and here am I with 31 models down, on the road to 365 all up … hope I have the stamina: When you see them all together they are … amazing – some tricksey stuff there that is throwing down the gauntlet to me for the coming months.

I will try to remember to do a monthly post with a summary – not sure I have the oomph to do it cumulative – will pack these away in a shoebox for now and start tomorrow afresh.
