Guys, i have a bit of a problem!
Ever since i started modelling.. 15 years ago, i havnt even, not once, thrown away the box nor instructions. At first i used to cut out the box art and hang it up. Then i just began storing the boxes.
WHY?
I have the mentality that if i throw away the box, its like throwing away part of the model which contains all the details, make, date, price etc. To me it is like a point of reference. And in the future the model without the box is worth nothing. Its like a vintage toy without its box- worthless. That's why i keep boxes!
What do YOU guys do with the boxes?
Do i have the wrong or right mentality?

i only use some sturdy boxes like Trumpeter's so that a can put paint and other stuff. I did not throw away the 109's Hasegawa boxes though. apart that the artwork is beautiful u used one with testor paint, one with left over decals, another with sand paper amd one with photo etch left overs.
I also keep empty paint tins, glass tins, thinner jugs etc.
