I use drawers with items sorted by type and then by colour if needed.
I love it, it saves me so much time in digging. Building becomes a pleasure.
That being said, It works with my very modest collection. Plus a lot of my
collection is on display. If i broke down every set into parts i would be in
trouble.
Multiply it by 7 - 10 times and well i think i would drown under ABS.
I suppose you would have in your drawers a working supply, and then store
the rest in bulk containers.
I also tend to pull the drawers out and place them on the table, because i
can't get to the drawer underneath it. So i see exactly where Suz is coming
from.
