I used to keep destructions but stopped doing it once it got pointless....quite easy to find instructions online nowadays...... I have got all the unused decals from every kit I’ve built....rarely comes in useful like most of the things I keepAnyone else keep either a front or the end of the box, I put the date on when finished, also keep the distruction sheets with the same information on ?
I cut out and keep just the box tops just for remembrance. Being flat is much more easier to store.Anyone else keep either a front or the end of the box, I put the date on when finished, also keep the distruction sheets with the same information on ?
I have a bunch of box fronts on the wall of my hobby room, that I put up there a looong time ago when I was mainly building Vietnam War models. I still have at least one copy of the instruction sheets of all kits I’ve ever built, only throwing away ones I know I already have in the pile. Unfortunately, the magazine rack I’ve been using for that is overflowing. And I’ve also got two plastic ice cream boxes with unused decals, one for military vehicles and one for everything else (which means it’s mostly aircraft).Anyone else keep either a front or the end of the box, I put the date on when finished, also keep the distruction sheets with the same information on ?
JohnYou can tell the Nerds ! I love being one. MInd it does rely on having the room in the cave to do it.

John,Anyone else keep either a front or the end of the box, I put the date on when finished, also keep the distruction sheets with the same information on ?
Except when you have a bunch of matches John...I'd keep my distance.Thanks all, nice to know I'm not alone.
I’ve done that. Far from always, but occasionally.I usually paint the building year and the monogram with my initials inside the model.
I done that on a Warhammer 40K army I painted on commission, owner wasn't happy when he noticed, I pointed out it was under the bases and could easily be painted over.I usually paint the building year and the monogram with my initials inside the model.
If only it were actually practical, given the amount of parts I haveCompartmentalised storage is by far the best way to go.
