Some sprues have lots of bits on, some are almost all used up.

What do you guys do with them and how do you store them?

Thanks]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889170.page GMT Storing unused bits and sprues The sprues themselves get binned unless I want to make fences or poles or something from them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889176.page GMT Storing unused bits and sprues

I tend to leave things on the sprue while there is still enough to build a full mini from it. Once I’ve built everyone, the spares get clipped and sorted.

In theory.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7889692.page GMT Storing unused bits and sprues
$2 to $4, depending on size and brand.

The "bitz box" used to be the repository of all of one's bits, but if you have a lot of bits like some of us do, then you will never find what you are looking for if everything is dumped into the same box.

If you have tons of bits you will never USE, then I throw them in a ziploc and ebay them as "assorted bits," with a measure of how much the bag weighs and a pic. They usually sell pretty fast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7890456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7890456.page GMT Storing unused bits and sprues Buying some X-wing models means I have lots of little zip-lock bags too.

So, types of parts get bagged up, like heads.
These go in the tubs, by kit.
Tubs are stacked by army.
Sprues are in the boxes they came in.
They all sit on the shelf above my painting table.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7891518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7891518.page GMT Re:Storing unused bits and sprues 40k extras]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7908051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7908051.page GMT Re:Storing unused bits and sprues


I had always intended to label the little drawers, but at this point, I sorta know where everything is anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7908094.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/651717/7908094.page GMT Re:Storing unused bits and sprues
