An example of a model constructed from box containers is in the form of a vintage car 1 formed by a series of differentially sized and shaped boxes 2, 3, 4 and 5. The boxes 2, 3,4 and 5 are constructed from cardboard templates 12 which are pre-folded to allow easy construction of the respective box and are printed with an appropriate design for the part of the model which the completed box will form. To form the box the template is folded along pre-cut lines 11 and retained in constructed form using double sided adhesive tape which also serves to fasten the boxes together.
