So having a big shop meant I didnt keep organized very well. I had bits all over and just not even organized in the trays. I also didnt have enough trays. Since I moved this into a house I had to compact space. This weekend I finally got the big two peices on the right and hung them all up. Im so happy to finally have all this crap organized with a little room to grow.

There is a blue rhino in the mid left for scale. The whole thing is bigger than it looks in the picture.



Stats:

The whole left column, while there ARE a few trays to grow on (I expected SW to fill a few) is nothing but power armor.

I have one tray full of Rhino hatches.

2x6 is just all the little bits left from making tactical squads.

I have a tray for just the full pilot figures that come in the Valkyrie. The regular valk bits fill two trays.

Amongst other oddities.

Im just so happy to have all this in ONE PLACE!

Wow, congrats!

/jealous Rico.

You are insane.

Insanely awesome, that is!

I did similar except I did something you have not (as yet), I labeled each drawer. Now that I have a decent Brothers labeler, I will probably redo the labels.

Yeah I actually had a few of those smaller tray bins and I labelled them, but mine always fell off even when superglued so I stopped doing that when I got the new bigger tray bins.

Hmm, had not thought about that, the current ones I am using are regular color coded file folder labels I cut in half (or leave whole for the bigger drawers). So far none have even started to peel after about 15 (or more) months.

Impressive organization; its definitely making me reconsider my current method of chaos I got going on at the moment.

Yeah you might stick with those. Plus its cheaper.

Wow, and I though *I* had a lot of bitz!!

God... more bitz and unbuilt stuff that me. That's impressive.

I cant seem to find the right words to comment that picture properly

I use a combo of small tool trays and ice cream tubs (they're free and stack well)

damn, you have several hundred times over the bits i have, course, in the case of an earthquake you could die from them

Thats not bad either. Ive been thinking about getting some bins like the top ones you have for whole sprues. A lot of things are actually better organized just left on the sprue like tank accessory sprues, but they can be hard to store.

Man i see why people complain about this hobby being a wallet breaker how much would all that cost give me an estimate (not including those unopened boxes on the other shelf) makes my 1000pts look very timid.

Hmm... My bitz fit in 4 flat tackle boxes (9x12x2")

I obviously don't have enough bitz.

Wow. Do you own a store? haha. How many closed boxes do you have? I think its time to work!
