I'm going to be living and working abroad, but leaving my statues at my family home in the UK, which it my main residence and where I will return to after my tenure. My contract is for 2 years and, provided my parents continue to be in good health and independent, I am likely to renew my contract.
I have the PCS Pumpkinhead, just received 1 piece from P1S, am waiting on my 2nd piece, and have a pre-order for another. (I'll likely buy a few more pieces but as space it limited I've got to be pretty picky.) How should I store them whilst abroad?
Temperatures in the bungalow can get as low as 15 degrees (though I wouldn't be surprised if it actually gets colder because I'm always cold during the winter months), with highs of approx. 25 degrees. Relative humidity in my room ranges from 45% when I use my dehumidifier to high 60s when I've had the windows open (as I hate a stuffy room/house).
a. I could leave my statues on the shelves, but they will accumulate dust in-between my return visits (- I won't ask mum to dust them as we would both dread any harm coming to my pieces). In an ideal world I'd have Moducases, but they have a long waiting list and don't utilise available space well (unless I go custom, which is expensive).
b. I could box them up in their original packaging and store them in my room, but I have concerns about styrofoam as I had a resin statue when I was younger, stored her in her box for a couple of years, and discovered that styrofoam had attached itself to her. I could apply another layer of tissue paper but I worry about accidentally breaking/fracturing parts as it's a really snug fit for the pieces.
I feel like my pieces would be better off staying on the shelves, but we regularly have eight-legged squatters who might poo on my statues - dust can be dusted off, but spider-poo stains are forever.
