That will be plenty of unboxing! I haven't even fully unboxed mine, as I didn't want to have parts scratched in the process.
Btw, after crazy time at work, I'm back at my build - there will be an update over the weekend :)

Wow thats a nice kit.You must have REAALLY long lunch breaks

Carl

Wow, what a find, look forward to seeing this being built

Prologue - Unboxing... boxes?

Saturday I received an email from the post office they have a delivery for me but they can't put it into my usual pick up place (we have these automated lockers around here, where we can go fetch our packages). Instead they asked me to come to their main office in the city today to go pick it up.

So this lunch break I happily took the bus to the main railway station where the main post office is, sent out a book to a fellow model builder and got my little package...



IT IS AS BIG AS A HOUSE! I could fit every body I have stashed in my basement in there and then some. I can't even reach around this, let alone carry it back to the bus, mostly because I'm only 1,70 and I wouldn't be able to see where I'm going.

So one taxi cab ride later I'm back at the office tearing into this thing. I'm greeted by about 7 billion and 5 styrofoam packing peanuts, which promptly flood the office.

Inside the box is another box strategically placed so you can't remove it without more peanut fun.

Inside that second box is yet a third box and this is the first time I see the words Pocher.

Inside the third box is a fourth box and the meat we're looking for.


(half litre Cola bottle for size)

And that's as far as I came.

Next time. More unboxing. I think I'm not spoiling anything when I tell you, there are yet more boxen inside this box.

It's like they know exactly what type of autist they're dealing with

Or designs them.

Say, is it okay if I copy a picture from your thread from time to time for the benefit of my German readers so they can see the difference between an OOB and a Thomasso transkit build? With proper attribution of course.

Lunch Break Build Report: Pocher Aventador - Prologue - Unboxing 2: Unboxeder

Continuing from tomorrows theme, I open the box to naturally reveal another box.

This time with a bag of goodies though.




These are water slide decals, metal water slides, stickers, a sheet of precut double sided tape, seat belts and carpets


Delving further into the box we come to the sprues. Over 30 bags of them (I stopped counting at some point) some as large as my torso.


Each bag contains either one or more sprues, in the case of multiple sprues each has an additional bag around it.

Particularly fragile sprues are packed in bubble wrap. Anything light sensitive is additionally packed in silk paper for further protection



Beneath these we find the big bag of screws (over 300 of them in 14 variants)



We also find a blister of metal parts


Removing the box from the box rewards us with another box, this one out of styrofoam and taped to it a sheet of PE parts and the engine covers


In here we find the inner and outer metal parts of the frame each individually wrapped in silk paper



And that's it. Now to organise all this stuff in a sensible way.


BUILD MEEEEE! YOU WANT TO BUILD MEEEE!

They certainly know how to pack things really well.

You're going to run out of office space soon Do you actually do any work or just lock the door and crack on with modelling, go on you can tell us

Have you ever noticed it is impossible to repack a Pocher kit back into the box and have it fit like it did when you opened it?
