Most of them stack and have an inner coating that makes them sliker than snail snot inside. That should keep anything from scratching your (...)

| | | | | How do you store your shields?
|
| Greetings. Perhaps my most vexing storage issue these days is how to store my shields without having them get scratched. Lately, I've just had minifigs holding them, but that takes up baseplates that I'd rather use for other purposes. Does anyone (...)

| (...) Maybe that's the big difference - I rarely have any particular plan when i start building. I start by fidgeting with some random parts, and then an idea starts to bloom, and eventually it turns into a model (usually a spacecraft). Sometimes I (...)

| (...) To clarify, I mean don't sort *only* by color. Putting 6x16 plates in with 1x1 bricks and everything in between, all of one color, makes it a lot harder to find something. It sounds from your description that you yourself sort by size/shape, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) Odd. I never did the sort-by-color thing, but I wouldn't've guessed this would be a problem-- I don't tend to build models that are all one piece... :) On the other hand, maybe I do. I use 1x4s a lot more often now that they're easier to find, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) I have a big enough collection to do that, but I've resisted, because when I take apart a model I don't want to have quite so many places to put things. As it is I have only 21 bins in total - though I do use Plano boxes for the little Technic (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)

| (...) I think this will depend slightly on the size of your collection. As my collection has grown, I have gone to sorting by color to sorting by color _and_ size. That way, I don't have to dig through anything! Exceptions are when a piece is scarce (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.storage)
