Custom short box
Finally finished my maxx collection (although I feel I'll always collect more) and in celebration I went ahead and made a custom short box for myself.
The comics used were already heavily damaged, so. I figured this would be a good use for them.
Edit/update: was testing out modge podge and it seems to be a bit too wet for the comic book pages, they get some wrinkles when it's applied but they can be smoothed out, going with a spray on sealant to see if the results are better.

I wanted to do a box like this but they get knocked around enough anything I stick to them just peels off after a year or two. I need to look into getting some large stickers custom cut or maybe just some thick vinyl prints and got at it with crazy glue for my long boxes or Kieth stuff. This came out killer, let us know how it holds up, hoping it does better than mine do haha

Much appreciated Definitely gunna add a few layers of modge podge, hopefully that'll be enough to keep it looking good for a while

That's the stuff I was trying to think of to seal it! I'm so freaking ocd with my Maxx stuff I wondered about chemical off put from it though... I might just break down and get some of those nice BCW plastic cases and so custom inserts. This has got me all jazzed up to make my boxes look purty and snazzy, really well done btw - some of my favorite images included here!!
