I cut off the box art, kind of a way of keeping track of what i built. Keep the instructions to just in case something comes up one day or someone else needs them.

I used to keep the top of the boxes if they were good drawings. Now I have only one box top and maybe I'll frame it some day, or one of my unbuilt kits. I need space for all my new kits. Big Smile [:D]

I trash most of the boxes, but keep all instructions. Got instructions going back about 15 years right now.

I save every box! I write the month and year of the build on the end of the box, put the instructions and all aftermarket instructions inside, and into the closet they go. I'm a pack rat. Big Smile [:D]

Zero, Ziltch, Nada, I keep every single box. My wife hates me, but I just tell her to look at all her shoes and that does the trick.

I too throw the boxes out when I clean up after finishing a model, but I keep the instructions. But then again I only do one model at a time ( I know, I'm not right in the head Smile [:)]

When complete, in the trash they go, along with instruction sheets too. I can't justify keeping trash and having it take up space. No need for empty boxes.

Past builds??? What's that? That would imply finished models! I haven't totally finished but one kit so far!! So, the answer is no, I don't throw out the boxes. But one of these days, IT will go!! lol. Acutally, I figure the bigger ones make great extra parts and extra sprue boxes!

Unfortunately I have no choice but to throw out old boxes, but not by choice. Our place is too small, there's no space to keep them.
