Do you keep all your old model boxes?

[Jay!]

I do. I keep all kinds of junk in them, or nest them in each other so they take up less room.

I used to cut out the pictures. Then I would promptly lose the pictures. Apparently, I lose a lot of stuff...

I was just wondering, especially considering the size of primera man's collection.

[S Brake]

i don't know on what basis i decide if i keep the boxes or not, its probably just what i decide on when i'm doing the model. but i throw away the diecast boxes.

[Guiddy]

No! I feel a kit is truly finished when I throw the box away!
I usually have more than one kit of each model, so any spares I move into the next kits box!

[primera man]

I would have 90% of all the kits i have done.

I just cut the front cover off to keep in a box (kinda like the box pics) and also keep the instrustions

[MercCougarXR7]

I keep all my instruction sheets, and all the covers of my boxes are flattened out, and stacked.

[Prelude2War]

I keep the box and instructions. Makes for easy trasportation or if i need to hind them if little brother or cousins are coming.

[Chris]

i keep them for awhile, just in case I need a part if something breaks. I then throw them out.
I have kept a few for transportation purposes, along with a whole bunch of toilet paper.

[TanKaBoY]

if the box art is good then i keep the box

[Sigmaman]

I keep enough boxes to transport them in.The rest go in the bin.Even flatend out they take up too much space.

[Layla's Keeper]

If I like the box art I cut out the top and tape it up on my wall.

I actually have started thinking that it'd probably be a good idea if some of the model companies started selling posters of their model kit box art without the model names and such.

Think about some of the cool box art in Fujimi's Touge series, or the classic Revell box art from the 60's. That'd make some sweet posters.

I usually throw them away. If the kit is that special that I would contemplate keeping the box such as it being rare or a potential collectors item, I just won't build the kit at all.

[ADVANFAN]

i admit i'm a junk collector and never throw anything away. But eventually you have to do some spring cleaning!

[RallyRaider]

I'm the same as you Jay. I use them for storing decals, plastic, spare parts and whatnot.
Also for other things like holding parts of the kit I'm working on. For example, the parts start off in the "off the sprue" box, then move to the "ready for painting box" next the "decaling" box and finaly to the "complete, ready to be assembled" box.

[pettercardoso]

I keep all the boxes, instructions sheets and all the leftover plastic bags and sprues....

[Vric]

I only keep the front cover art, I cut the side and keep the front. I keep the extra part then all other thing go to junk
