This is really a good idea that I think probably anybody will benefit
from. Sorting and storing all your pieces in separate containers is
counterproductive, as you will have to get out a large number of boxes
before you can even start building. And most tables will probably be
too small to support enough boxes for all the different parts you
need.
I've put most of the parts I normally use in five small containers
the size of a textbook each. When I want to explore an idea, I start
by using the parts from these boxes. If I want to finalize the model
in the proper colours, I need to bring out my normal collection, but
otherwise I can get quite far with only the parts in these boxes. And
when I'm finished with a building session, I can just pop the boxes
into the shelf or under the bed.

| Here's my two cents: 1) as noted previously, keep your collection stored well - rubbermaid, tepperware, or some similar reasonably-air-tight hardcore packaging system works great 2) take a small container of useful pieces (of all types) to school (...) (24 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.general)
