I recently got a scanner and decided to start scanning in some of my Lego box
panels.  Here's a sample:

And the directory with all I've done so far:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=277354

I'm scanning at 150 dpi and saving an uncompressed Paint Shop Pro format as well
as a .jpg format for Brickshelf.

I thought this might be useful for seeing good pictures of the main models, the
alternate models on the back and sides of the box as well as miscellaneous
information printed on the boxes, such as set name, copyright, UPC, etc.  I am
also going to try to create "white box" versions of the sets, with all graphics
surrounding the set removed (similar to the back of Playmobil boxes).

Do you think this is useful?  Would there be a better place to put the scans
than Brickshelf?

The alternate models from old school sets like those would be a great inspiration for those of us who still love CS but do not have access to the boxes from (...)
