Matho Models 1/35 Soda Cardboard Boxes

Add realistic drinks packaging to your 1/35 scenes with Matho Models Cardboard Boxes – Soda. The set contains a total of 34 cardboard boxes in six different designs, providing a varied selection of soda packaging for adding small-scale detail to your modelling projects.

Each box is printed on slightly thickened paper to give the assembled item a realistic appearance. The inside is also printed with a brown cardboard texture, allowing individual boxes to be displayed open as well as closed. This extra interior detail gives you more flexibility when arranging the boxes and makes them particularly useful for detailing scenes where drinks packaging is required.

34 Boxes in Six Designs

With 34 individual boxes across six different designs, the set provides plenty of scope for creating varied arrangements. Closed boxes can be grouped together while open examples reveal the printed brown cardboard interior, helping to create a less uniform appearance within a scene.

Cutting and Assembly

For clean results, cut the boxes from the sheet using a sharp, preferably new, knife and a steel ruler. The thick white or black lines between the upper and lower flaps should also be removed to help achieve a cleaner fit during assembly.

After cutting around the complete outline of a box, make one cut to the left and another to the right of each thick line. Use the tip of the knife where the line remains attached to the box, then carefully remove the unwanted section.

For easier folding, gently run a knife along the bending lines using a steel ruler as a guide. Apply only light pressure so that the lines are scored rather than cut. This helps create neat, sharp bends when forming each box.

Once the boxes have been folded and glued together, exposed white paper edges on the coloured designs can be lightly painted in a matching colour. This finishing step helps disguise the white paper edges while retaining the printed exterior designs and brown cardboard-textured interiors.
