Here’s a quick tip for the collector/builder who wants to use their pristine Kotobukiya R2-D2 in the workshop without damaging it.

Since starting on the skins and details I’d really wanted to have a good 3D model to ponder over. The Koto R2 is probably the most accurate in my collection, but being the paranoid/obsessive collector that I am, I knew he’d eventually get damaged or at best dusty in the shop – so I never took him down.

Then over the weekend while cleaning up my office I realized that he’d fit perfectly in one of those 50X CD-R cases. Problem solved!
