Darkn3ssF4lls Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Greetings Everyone, I am looking for a way to keep all my miniatures organized while i am cutting and painting and all that good jazz. I plan on doing some heavy magnetization to attempt to get the most out of each kit. In addition in the end when my armies are painted i'd like to have a base for multiple terrains AKA i'll have a winter base for ice battles, dessert for desert ect. With that said how do you all keep all your paints and such organized, I move around a lot and so I was thinking of getting a huge tackle box type thing as well as getting some small little Tupperware that i cut say #28 out and put all of #28 into one of these little Tupperware and then you can put all these little Tupperware into a larger container.

War Angel Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That's basicly how I do it. I seperate bits into ziplock bags, and paint into plastic containers. Magnitizing the bases so that you can have a set for each terrain type.... Wow. That's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 For my 'mobile box' I actually like GW's: My spare paints are in a shoe box. My minis are in Battlefoam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apokalypsi Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I use a cheap Plano tackle box. Under $10, and you can sort of customize the spaces to the sizes you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomzero17 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I use a screw cabinet. Specifically this one. You can find similar ones or ones with more/less of certain tray sizes at your local hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 You can also find decent storage options by looking at other hobby-related items. I got a large plastic box from a friend full of bits. A few days later I was wandering around Hobby Lobby with my wife and saw the same box in the beaded jewelry section. Don't recall the price but it wasn't expensive. They carry a lot of hobby stuff there that can either be re-purposed or used directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 A brush can be used for a lot of things. I use brushes with different bristle stiffnesses to clean away dust on models that have sat around for a while, help get bits of plastic that don't come off completely when removing mold lines, pulling flash off of plastic, Finecast and metal models, cleaning models after stripping them, and other various tasks.

Kilofix Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Brush: To get rid of resin or plastic dust after I drill (to pin or to install magnets). To smooth out application of green stuff. To scrub my airbrush cup. To apply basing. To add weathering powder. To flick blood for splatter effect. To brush my teeth.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
