A tidy house, a tidy mind. No, it is not our intention to give you a lecture, but there is some truth to that old proverb when it comes to miniature modelling on your workbench. Especially when working on several modelling projects at the same time (like we do), it is important to stay on top of things. How easily can those tiny parts needed for making 1/87 scale models get lost in a mess!
Apart
from the usual storage cabinets with little drawers (used by DIY fans for screws
etc.) we find small stackable containers with several compartments (see photo)
most helpful. Once you are finished with your work, they can be stowed away on
the shelf, taking up little space, and thanks to their see-through lids they offer perfect dust protection for your
valuable small parts. We paid less than £2 per box, and you can get them in your
favourite DIY store or online - a handy, neat and tidy solution!
