I have used old boxes, but my kids get to them. Right now I’m using a plastic rubbernmaid rollaway 3 drawer set. I used ziplock bags for decals (with thrown away silica gel) and small boxes for parts. That way I can move around the stuff without a mess or my wife getiing bothered for the mess when I finish modeliing for the day!
I totally agree. I just keep them in the original box, or sweep them all “lovingly” into a drawer at my desk. I don’t scratchbuild much so i don’t realy need them. jeez, it’s such a mess now that i hope that nothing else has taken residence in that drawer…
I use the Maxam soap box (it’s a bath soap from China containing three cakes in a box). It’s the ones I found handy at that time and would you believe they are still around.
I put all unused peices in a “unmarked” zip lock, the unused decals in a larger one with the others from past kis, and throw the instrictions into a cupboard never to be seen again. I generally turf the box unless I or my wife has an immediate use for it, however after going thru EBAY and seeing what people are asking for empty model boxes I may have to rethink that one…
I’m with Sherm on this one. I have 2 big RubberMaid bins with the “Snap-Lock” top.
Small parts go into a compartmentalized plastic container I picked up at a discount store; large parts go into something like an oversized shoebox.
My storage locker at Storage USA[sigh], and any where else I can find to store parts ETC.[:)]
I’m surprised to see I’m the only one so far using old kit boxes!
Hey, it’s a great way to keep some of those old boxes you love with the great art on them!
