Does anyone know where i can can a decent bitz box from?

Prefferably one where it has seperate sections so i can keep em seperate?

Nom

Most people just use toolboxes or tackleboxes. They're large and have compartments, so you can go from there.

Poundland or home bargains

B&Q, or get some boxes with compartments from hobbycraft:

At a local hobby store, I picked up several bead organizers.


These work very well and are only a few dollars.

I was about to recommend craft store organizers myself.

I have a plastic tray/box much like in Kronk's picture I bought from Home Depot (So i guess it's more "manly") that has removable separators between horizontal cells. I use to help keep my ADD-scattered 'in-progress' projects organized, in a ddition to a big 'parts bin' style unit I use for tools and bits. I might switch to something smaller to replace the 'parts bin' as it's gotten a bit unwieldy.

I was in a craft store with my girlfriend last week and saw a beading box thingy with multiple layers of small trays in a black cloth case (kind of like a very small sable/battlefoam style bag) that looked like a good option for anyone looking to organize a LOT of small parts.

I use a fishing tackle box.

Works like a charm.

Nice beads!

I use something very similar to this:

I found mine at Lowe's.

Spoiler:

I've got a few similar to those I got from a tackle box. Really handy. One is full of Tyranid bits, one is full of Vampire bits. The compartments make it easy to break everything up (like Termagant Fleshborer arms, Termagant/Warrior Devourer arms, Assorted Monstrous Creature arms). Also makes it easy when you're constructing a lot of models. At the moment I'm constructing 20 Grave Guard, and have 15 still in peices. Torsos in one compartment, great weapon arms in another, sword arms in another, shields in another, legs in another, etc.

Got mine at Hobby Lobby. I put felt in the top so it wouldn't slide around. Also: Tackle box, available from Wal-Mart, Dick's, or any other store where sporting goods are sold.

Just ordered both of these for for just under £6 with free delivery.

You, sir, have just made my day.

You're very welcome. May be slightly higher in Canada though.

Tackle boxes are great. They can also be used to store minis(thats what i did for a bit.)

Tackle boxes would be good for organization, but I use a large empty cat litter pail.

I use empty electrical tape containers for bitz seperated from sprues en masse, and large cardboard boxes. Keep the bitz on the sprues as much as possible, file the sprues away by army/model in the carboard box.

I use the plastic craft organizer/ fishing boxes for my bits.

I use all of my old Iphone boxes. I had blacktie program from best buy so whenever anything ...I mean anything was wrong I took it back and got a new one so I have like 6 or 7 boxes, and I use the top and bottoms separately so I have 14 little boxes.

I use the 4 litre "really useful" boxes with the seperater trays, you can fit two trays in each and they are big enough for biggish bitz like IG heavy weapons. They're stackable and lockable.

I got them at Tescos, I think they are available at Hobbycraft amongst other shops.

I see you're in the UK. Try B&Q or, for an extra cheap option, Asda or Wilkinsons.

i need to get a new one for my necron bits actually (i like to have the different armies bitz in separate boxes)

Fishing stores (yeah, I work for one lol), poundland, poundshop, maplins, anything like that. Try and avoid hobby shops or DIY stores as they rack the price up, go to places where they either sell any old crap at a low price, or somewhere that it's not part of their main product line, so they just offer them out cheap.

Gotr mine from Wal-Mart, and I swear by these. Individually lockable bins is where it's at!
