Poor mans display case

[Fanof69]

I picked up a couple of these in the baked goods section at the local Walmart.

First properly dispose of tasty contents. I like to dispose of mine with a glass of milk. Then clean and remove stickers.

Not fancy but it keeps the dust off and lets me spend more of my money on models, and of course doughnuts too!!

Very Clever.

At last!!!

A legitimate excuse to buy chocolate donuts!

I am in the grocery business. If you ask the manager or supervisor, most any chain grocery will sell you some plastic clamshells if you ask nicely. For the 15 years I've been doing this, I've sold them for anywhere from ten cents to a quarter. I've also given them to customers on occasion.

The "dust cover" that I use to protect painted projects is a round dome cake cover.

Tasty idea ? Anything to keep the dust off ?

[StevenGuthmiller]

Mmmm, Donuts!

 

 

 

You had to know it was coming!

Not a bad idea (except for the calories). One suggestion: Turn it upside down and use the larger part for the lid. You could even fill the recess in the bottom (formerly the lid) with plaster to make a base.

   And they were FREE!  Well you were gonna buy 30 box's of those Doughnuts anyway wern't you. I mean your doing it for the Planet Right??????   

[Deathgoblin]

Just what I needed - another excuse to buy donuts.  

[crazyjim]

Very clever idea.

Are you trying to kill me? I already weigh 400 pounds, too much of this and they'll have to roll me in the Walmart.

Whatever works, as model car builders have a lot of "tricks" up their sleeves.

[Roadrunner]

Not a bad idea at all. I can easily see myself tipping the scales at 400 pounds doing it this way.

I use these to store WIPs from time-to-time. 

My major concern is because they're rather thin, how they'd hold up over time, especially if stacked.

Wait till I tell the Mrs that I need to start buying donuts at the Wal-mart, for my models, she already hates my hobby, this won't help.

Not sure about over time yet. But I do know you don't want to use them for your purple pond. They don't hold up to that very long. Found that out the messy way.

I use the shoe-box-size Zip-Loc containers for that. They work very well.

I have used those for windows also.

Off to get some donuts.

 

[disabled modeler]

very cool idea keeps them clean and I have used them for windows on builds before too.

[Hawk312]

They also sell celery in those containers.  

Now where`s that fire suit....

Yes! Yes they do

[Deathgoblin]

If they come in toasted coconut, I'm in trouble.

I use gallon size Zip Lock bags.  No calories.
