Just got a first-run heavy-duty grade custom cardboard box from Mike yesterday -- first in a line of different sized 'generic' boxes specifically designed for the r/c target and submarine Driver in mind.
You not only get a well engineered pre-cut and creased 'box', but also the gummed re-enforcing tape and epoxy resin needed to make the thing reasonably water tight.
Tonight I assembled the box and applied the gummed re-enforcing tape to buttress the inside joints.
As you can see, I'm going to use this particular box (they are cheap) to protect my 1/72 Revell Type-7 r/c submarine, but this size box can also find service protecting a 1/144 GATO or 1/144 SEAWOLF. I'm sure there are other r/c subs out there suitable for use with this box, but they don't come to mind.
I'm tired, hungry and my feet hurt; been busting my hump all day for the great Caswell Empire -- he's got me doing double-time getting some 1/96 Type-212 kits and SubDriver's ready for him. This Sucks! I wish I were dead!
Anyway ... here are the photos:
