Having been modelling for quite a while now, i have accumulated a lot of empty boxes. They are piling up and im thinking about throwing them all out, just wondered what everyone else did with their's??

I might keep the occasional box art if its a good painting, but otherwise they go in the recycle bin.

I do the same as Andy. I also sometimes cut out the front side with the box art - this way it takes much less space

I keep the box art and file it with the instructions and spare decals in a display book. A touch of OCD I suppose but I know where to find stuff when I need it.

I keep them.

With some puzzling I put one inside another like a russian doll collection.

But I still have to find a good system for leftover parts, decals and so on.

I flatten the boxes and store them as one big stack of cardboard...saves a lot of storage space!
