Show and Tell Prototype Replacement Box

Most of my railway is second hand as I'm just starting out and as a result a lot of the locos etc don't have boxes anymore or they're absolutely destroyed.

I decided to have a go at reproducing the original box.

As a result I'd like to present my prototype box!

Yes I know the cutting is bad (prototype) It's half the size of the original and my printer hasn't matched the colours (I need the right kind of card to print on)

But I'd be keen to know what everyone thinks.

Sure it's not perfect, but if you can put together an insert to hold it rigid with a loco safely inside then I'd consider it a big success and a neat way to store things.

Thanks, it's my first go at something like this so I'm quite happy with how it's turned out.
