Not Roy Cross of Airfix fame, but Carless, Just bought 3 off Ebay, 2 at £20 and one at £25, I could not believe what I was staring at..
They are the original watercolours used by FROG on their model boxes........ they are Stunning and were just advertised as Original Watercolours, so I took a punt, they have Christies auction stickers on the back from 1995, so I am going to find out more about them from Christies...... I think they are a serious bargain and I was the only (lucky) bidder... I had my fingers and legs crossed.. http://i.ebayimg.com/06/!B,j(9...+BKr-JDDdZw~~_12.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/07/!B,j(T...TBKr-HWkT)w~~_12.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/21/!B,jY(...iBKr-KIs4gw~~_12.JPG These are what I got, the Lower one has some slight fading, and has slipped in its mount, but I would have paid a lot more for them, they just need remounting and framing. Yes!! And an example of it on the boxlid |

That was a really lucky find.
I have always loved boxart. If nothing else you have the pride of owning them. I'm much surprised they were so cheap. I am sure there must be a lot of collectors. I think they will be worth a lot of money in the future (they don't seem to bring much at auction just now). Here's a list of boxart related sites. Please look at the first site especially. They have lots of restored boxes I think (just prints): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Box-Art/ http://www.theboxartden.com/Home.html http://www.theaerodrome.com/fo...e-box-art-sites.html http://www.oldmodelkits.com/ http://www.cahood.com/nshimco.htm |
