  1. This has probably been done already, but a browse through the incredible collection of @mackerb03 got me wondering about my favourite vintage box art. Bit different to favourite model, this is solely about the front of the box. For me, Clive, it's the Wild Willy: Up until then, Tamiya had always gone 'left-front angle' or 'right-front angle', with the occasional raised viewpoint when they felt like pushing the boat out: The red and black stripe behind the Super Champ was the very first hint of excitement, and then suddenly there was the Wild Willy, in side-on profile and wheelie-ing away. There was mud splattering out behind the wheels, there was a ridiculous driver, it just looked amazing. Then, clearly, whoever was responsible got sacked for this transgression, and we were back to boxes showing cars looking like they were mid-way through a three-point turn in a Sainsbury's car park: The Frog and the Grasshopper, with their vaguely military stripes and airborne postures, at least tried, then the Hornet kicked off the excellent 'cornering at high speed' phase of boxes, of which the crowning glory is clearly the Wild One: As I said, nothing to do with favourite model - I don't own a Wild Willy, and I don't particularly want one, but the box art is just brilliant. What about you? Maybe you love the Blackfoot, because the helmet-less bloke driving it looks like he might be on his way home from work: Or maybe you're not into the whole landscape thing, and for you it's all about the Road Wizard: No wrong answers here, (so long as no one starts going on about the worst box (because that's clearly the Porsche 959...))
  2. I'm looking for (even old, worn out) boxes to put my Tamiya junk into. Specifically, Madcap and Blitzer Beetle boxes to put the assembled NIP parts I've been collecting to assemble these 2 NIB kits. I am the Madcap SIG-lord, and yet my Madcap has no other. So I'm at least trying to get a NIB Madcap into my collection, part by part. All joking aside, if you have either of these boxes, particularly if you are in the western hemisphere to keep shipping sane, please give me your box in exchange for money or goods.
  3. hey TC peeps. i wanted to know if anyone has done what i'm considering, or if it would widely be considered idiotic and i should forget about it. but i really like keeping the old boxes from my vintage kits - those i've built, those that have come with restoration projects, and a couple i just bought the box. but now that i have a whole bunch of NIB kits the empty boxes are starting to hog a sizable amount of space in my garage. has anyone cut out the box top and kept them in an artists portfolio? just to have the vintage box art? or is that just a terrible idea. clearly the boxes come in handy if you ever sell a car... they seem to add considerably to the sale price. so i'd probably keep a few intact. but, for example, i have 3 empty blackfoot boxes now. i've been filling one up to make a 2nd NIB kit, but the other two are just taking up mucho space-o.
