Back of the Box Builds Instructions

If you have been following us on our Instagram page (shameless plug) you may have seen our recent posts regarding Back of the Box Builds (BOTBB). For over a year, I have been hard at work reverse engineering some classic back of the box designs. Beyond simply recreating these designs digitally I have also designed instructions so that you can easily build or review these designs yourself!

This project has been a lot of fun to work on and has greatly increased my skill in designing set instructions. Each set of instructions has a handcrafted background and cover reminiscent of a more classic era, a first for ApBricks. We have also taken additional steps to help ensure that "classic" feel. In addition to the traditional step-by-step guide you are used to, we have added some helpful language and symbols to support you as you build!

You can find a full repository of our BOTBB projects here. Additionally, each image on this page is linked to their respective BOTBB pages. We have more BOTBB projects planned, alongside new MOC instructions in 2026!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at ApBricks!
