Green Vega leaving to a new home. Packing a very fragile statue.

Some of you guys might think that this is over doing it, but this is how I wished that some of my statues (broken during shipping) would have been packed. Beside, with only an edition size of 50, I think that this bad boy deserves all the attention it can get.

PART1

We decided to send out the most fragile items in a different box to prevent breakage. ( Vega's 2 head and his claws )



ITEM IS WRAPPED IN SOFT TISSUE.



ITEM IS WRAPPED IN BUBBLE PAPER.



SINCE THE CLAW IS EXTRA FRAGILE, I DECIDED TO REINFORCE IT WITH A RIGID CARD BOARD, SORT OF LIKE A CAST FOR A BROKEN BONE.

ITEM IS WRAPPED IN SOFT TISSUE AND TAPPED AROUND THE CARDBOARD.

ADDITIONAL PAPER TO SECURE THE CLAW TO ELIMINATE MOVEMENT AND THE WHOLE THING IS WRAPPED IN BUBBLE PAPER.



RIGID BOX IS FILLED WITH COTTON BALLS AND ITEMS ( 2 HEADS + CLAWS ) ARE PLACED INSIDE.




RIGID BOX IS THEN WRAPPED IN BUBBLE PAPER.



RIGID BOX IS THEN PLACED IN A BROWN SHIPPING BOX FILLED WITH STYROFOAM POP CORN.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Sold statue price-$500, package and material costs-$400, profit=$100! Just kidding! Very cool of you to pack this highly prone to breakage statue!

Took me 2 hours to pack it, but when you love your hobby...2 hours is nothing.

Cheers!
