Greg Myers Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I liked Roger Hayes' box top build I thought it would be a great idea for a thread.

Nitrozilla Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I've always had a hard time building models straight out of the box. One day, a friend challenged me to do exactly that. While this isn't a car, it is a mode of transportation and it is on topic, sooooo......
Austin T Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I love box top builds. Here's one I did of AMT 50' Chevrolet pick up. I don't care to much for Chevys but this box art was to good to pass up. Now I did substitute the white for cream,but I still think It's good enough to pass as box art.
gtx6970 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I built this one long before the current box top edition . It's pretty close even though my build is not the car pictured on the box Edited July 20, 2013 by gtx6970
my name is nobody Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I have about a dozen more....gotta find the boxes...........................and it wont be easy.
philo426 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I don't have the box anymore,but this AMT Firebird matches the box photo perfectly .
TooOld Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Only one I've ever done ! I built it in 1977 . . . painted with Pactra-namel with no primer and no clear . This is what it looked like when I unpacked it last year .
twopaws Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I've done one, but I sure enjoy the ones shown here. All great builds. Maybe I'll do one now.
Helix Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Good idea Greg! Here's my Revell 32 3 window from a few years ago...have always liked the box art on this kit!
Davewilly Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Here is one of my box top builds...Only I dont have a picture of it with all the decals on it
Blown03SVT Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I dig this thread, when I was a kid I wanted to make the finished product look as much like the box art as possible. Awesome work guys!
