(...) I, too, sort by shape and have given the new colors the same treatment as any other color. My big problem comes in quickly identifying the two close colors. A large pile of new greys looks different to me from a large pile of old greys but (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.storage)

The Spice Rack is actually really neat, sturdy, practical, modular (so easy to add to) and looks down-right sexy. It has passed the 'brush-past' test and the 'cooking accessibility' test. Also, between the rack, Lego Salt 'n' Pepper and the Lego (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jun-05, to lugnet.storage)

If I am transporting my MOCs, I tend to use Games Workshop carry cases - with a bit less of the stuffing - it braces the model well, and keeps it from getting broken. Because these are hardcases, which seal, peices that break off will stay in the (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.storage)
