For my spares, I cleaned out all the excess sprue by trimming it down enough to hold the parts in question and then sorted them into different categories/bags and then put the whole thing inside a plastic storage crate.

another thing to use is those small storage boxes you find in the jewerly section of the craft stores.. about 8 inchs by 6 inchs and divided into compartments different color boxes have differet size compartments and / size compartments.. but all are stackable... I cost .99 cents each and great to hold small parts of your current project... both before and after painting.. also make good mold boxes for resin casting...

The cigar box is good ideal,but as for me I buy those contaners were you put on the garage wall and have all them drawers in them.I buy them with the big drawers on the bottom to store my paints and the little ones work out fine for the other things,like extra parts,gear,tools and ect...Digger

Umm... what's wrong with the good ol' cardboard box supplied with the kit? Although I like the clear plastic storage box idea. I constantly forget what is in each box.

Thats a good idea about storing your airbrush in a cigar box Andy. I've got two different airbrushes Aztek (yuck) and a new Iwata (oh happy days). I'm going to hit the local smoke shop up for one cardboard (Aztek) and one wood (Iwata) for my airbrushes.
Thanks for the tip. Semper Fi, mike

Those small, plastic storage boxes with the hinged lids work pretty good too. I'm talking about the ones intended for storing kids' crayons and pencils. Not only that, they're made of clear plastic so you can see what's inside and don't have to bother with labels. Pick up a couple of those handy little items at your local Wal Mart or Target, and you'll be amazed at how how easy it is to transform a chaotic work space into some semblance of order--at least it worked for me.

I use metal tins in which mints or other sweets come in. The fit between box and lid is tight, and it can withstand a lot of beating up (stuff being dropped on my desk!) or falls...

Now that's a good idea (the box and going outside to smoke the cigar!!)

I was looking for a way to stow spare parts, paints, tools and what ever so that they would be easy to locate without digging and roating around my bench. You know. " Sweat heart what did you do with all the spare tracks I was saving? and also I can't find those german helmits!.. I get that look, she spins around, leaves, mumbling something about some knucklehead some place or another as I sit with a pile of kit boxes and empty spurs. Man this is important stuff!!! sigh. Anyway. I wanted a box big enough that I could keep parts together on a spur and small enough to stack out of the way. Enter the cigar box. A great source of these handy dandy do dads is your local smoke shop. The owner was more than happy to let me have some hard cardboard boxes he had, and also he sold me for a nominal fee of $2.00 a couple of fancy dancy wooden boxes. (A new home for my air brush and stuff) . Just thought I should shareSmile [:)] Well right now I going to grab my coat, the dogs and head on out to the shed. The wife said something about somebodies dead body if I lit this thing up in the house. Boy! its good to be the king. Have fun.Big Smile [:D]
