(...) I put everything in baggies depending on size.

| | 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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) If you're going to sort them, DON'T do it by color. It's the most obvious choice, but it's a bad idea. Sort by size and type instead. Think of it this way: Say you want a blue 1x4 brick. Would you rather dig through a pile of blue bricks, or a (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)
