Thanks for the info guys. A system of drawers is a good idea for a dedicated
Lego room.
I wanted a system that was semi-portable as well, hence the tackle boxes. I
like to be able to take a collection of useful/fun pieces to my folks place and
build with my little sisters (8 & 10 yo).
They've just started getting into Lego with a few Res-Q sets and town (NOT town
Jr) stuff.
Now I can just grab a few boxes, throw them in the car and go.
In the not too distant future I'll have to think bigger about storage. What
with the Super Car II
and the Model Team truck, plus a few others that have caught my eye, the drawers
and boxes I have now will be overflowing. Oh, but what a sight that would
be...!
On a different note, what are you other Aus. Fans of Lego building at the
moment?
My latest creation is a version of Leo Dorst's real working clock. It only runs
for a short time
before the weight needs to be raised but it's cool to see working none the less.
Next on the agenda is a large scale truck or car, probably black, with lots of
detail.
I've been thinking of basing it on an Australian car, maybe a Kingswood or
something from that era.
Anyway, work beckons...
Later,
Braith.
