Tomek22 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I always liked the beautiful old boxart of the Airfix figure boxes. And I like the size of the boxes, too. Here are some examples. I think they always tell a story...Thanks for the artists!/media/tinymce_upload/f4efc878af8009ce50e314137e633f3a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You have a mixture of Type 3 and Type 5 boxes there. Brian Knight created much of the original artwork though Andrew Prewett and Bill Stallion also contributed to the figure boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Nice. Showing what you mean about "telling a story", my eyes were immediately drawn to the HIghland Infantry, and I promptly soundtracked the painting with the piper sounding the advance.
