packaging to save some space

i've got this problem...
I am now stay in Beijing for about 1 year and i can't leave my main hobby of model kits.
it's getting crazy if you only can buy and can't do the project because your stuff is not in the same place..
really sucks...
but i solve this problems..



i can enjoy the hobby for a little and save some space in my luggage when i go home later...
see this:
you can pack the car like this...
it's really save space...
u don't need the sprue... if you want to do some scratch build, i'm sure u have many sprue back home just like mine...
i'm using this Ferrari FXX to give the example.

all you have to do is like this:
1. you only need some basic tool kits to do this: cutter, sprue cutter, masking tape, glue, and tack-it/whatever its called.


2. you can permanently glue all the parts that will be paint together with the same color, in my ferrari it is a main engine block i glue together


3. use the stick-it/tack-it/whatever it's called (the green poster glue in the tool kits pic.) and masking tape for non-permanent glue


4. don't cut and stick the small parts, leave it and take care of it later... beside that, do what it told in instruction sheet.
5. for clear parts, you have to cover it with plastics and separate each other, otherwise the clear parts will be scratch everywhere.


6. cut all the small parts left and put it together in one plastic bag.



7. if there some parts which has almost same looked, just cut it with the number, so you're not gonna be confused the next time you assembly it.


8. put the small-part's plastic bag inside the interior

9. if the decals too big, cut it into a few and then put it under the car.


9. wrap all of the car with plastics so if there is some parts is not strongly glued, it will not missed.

with this method you can put 5-6 cars in one box, it's much better than 6 box of kits...
so all you have to do next is go out and buy some more kits....
hope this method can help other people with the same problem with me...

Nissan Skyline GTR R34 [drift spec]

This is my first built kit in 2008. It's a Nissan Skyline GTR R34. At the first time, I planned it to become a drift styke racing style, but the limitation of time made me must make it fast. So I just paint it with Mica Blue and do some other modification.

• Paint: Mica Blue
• Custom Decals
• Carbon GT Wing
• Custom racing harnes
• Custom Interior (Fuel Tank, Bucket seat, Roll Bar, etc)
• Shaved and custom front and rear bumper

Last Finished in 2007

These were my latest projects last year. They were finished right before the year changed.

• 1/24 Fujimi Toyota Altezza

This kit needs one month to become a built models. I prepare everything carefully coz i want it to be perfect. I made some modification, which are:

- 2 Doors conversion

- Scratch Built Muffler

- Scratch Built NOS Bottle

- 18" OZ Superturismo

- Body kit for Initial D Edition

- Base Paint: Light Gun Metal

1/24 Aoshima Toyota Aristo V300 Vertex Edition

After finished with the Altezza, i continued to next car which are the last project in 2007. I just want to made it out of the box. I was try to put my gorgeous 20" Vienna Kreiss but it become 3 mm overfender, so i canceled it. I don't put anything except 19" Cerberus and Body kit from Vertex which i get it from the box. I try to made custom HID head lamp by adding a small circle clear plastic that i already paint using clear blue at the head lamp. Enjoy...
