Tell me how you organise your parts bins?

do you keep wheels and tires taped together to avoid mix up? or to you just through it all together?

Tell me your learned lessons.

I just keep stuff in egg cartons. Works for me. Some of the bigger stuff, I just keep in the original box of the car.

Sorted by part types....wheels together, sears together....

Hmm i use old fishing boxes. Check the pics. One side is for spare or un-used parts the other for wheels and tires. A other box is used for the non-used decals.

Well it does seem like that. But i do. I have a bunch of rims and then tires to go with them. Plus they are all for revell kits too.

Wheels/tyres and keeped seperate, the rest is chucked in spare model boxes

i have lots of parts but i just use a drawer out of my "model" toolbox.its a mess finding them lol

engine parts, exterior parts, interior parts


the best way

i have 4 "craft organizers" that i seperate stuff with

All my parts are just thrown into two drawers, and some are in old model boxes.

Half of the model boxes are spare parts the other half is projects.

I also got six model boxes full with parts at my workbench.

I put all of my engine goods together, tires/rims go into assorted containers, then everything else is put into either model boxes or a plastic container. For my old & damaged builds (that are good for parts if I need them), they go into kit boxes or some just remain on my shelf.

I use a bunch of coffee cans. Everything is separated, Engine, interior, suspension, etc. Plus every can is painted different, so they make a nice display too :jump3:
