Anyway, an old trick from the 70s, which we used to use to store our stash. Get a hardback REALLY boring book, a thick one. (You can go to the second hand store and pick one out, just make sure it isn't musty. That is bad for your toy.) Start gluing the pages together, when it dries and when you get the book down to some turning pages in the front and a few in back and the rest a solid mass, take a strong sharp cutting tool and make a stash box IN the middle of the book. That way you will have a little box, that looks like a book on your shelf.
In the Old Days we used to store our stash this way, but if your toy isn't too big, you could put that in there.
Good titles would be Advanced Engineering Mathematics, The History of Adhesives, Evolution of the Alan Wrench, Great British Recipes, Peterson's Guide to Fish in the Midwest etc.
Good luck. Make sure the glue is completely DRY before you try to store anything in your book. Sobo glue is a good one to use, as it is less likely to warp the pages, but any good glue for paper will do.
