To keep with the Monty Python theme from last post it had looked like the Holy Hand-grenade of Antioch had been set off in the house. So I resolved to tidy up the area and organize a little.
I must say its worked out well, and now the step is as I hunt through a sprue I will clip all the bits off and sort them into these trays. I plan to get a 2nd on for terrain bits, modeling equipment and what not but this has been a very fruitful start to organizing my space.
So with the tidy space and a happy wife I then returned to the ongoing project so here are a few more WIP shots of models being worked on.
Anyway that's about it for the weekend. But Id be interested in what others do to keep the bitz at bay and organize their workspace.
Cheers

Right now I just have bits divided up into either jars or ziplock bags, although getting better organized is a goal of mine. I'll likely be moving to a new house in a few months though so I'm not going to worry about that until after the move.
ReplyDeleteThe marines you've been assembling look fantastic and I really like the way you do their bases. Do you have to pin the models to the cork or can you just glue them directly to the material? Thanks!
Hey Papa JJ, pining is the preferred method, reason being is that with use you really don't want to risk the model coming apart from the base.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need more than one pin in either leg, once the superglue bonds it creates a very strong anchor to hold the model in place.
It also allows for more dynamic poses, as you can shift the model as needed to create movement.
