Spare parts storage

Hi

I was wondering where do you keep your figures' spare hands/parts/etc any suggestion. I'm looking for something to help me easy access to them so I can repose my figures.

Thank you.

depends on what you want to do. Alot of people just hang onto the boxes.
some people prefer tackle boxes as well.

Here's what i did

Wow great advice. Nice way to keep it clean. I will follow it.

Thank you

Yep, Ecko is spot on. These cases are available at any Walmart or Michael's craft store.

i've been considering switching to those. how much do those run?

The large ones on the right I got on sale at Michael's 2 for $4 The cases on the left that snap shut (also waterproof) are by Plano, found in the fishing section at Walmart and cost anywhere from ~$4 - $15 depending on the size you get.

Is that the popular thing to do, using those containers? I just keep all the items and accessories not being used in their box in the spot they came in.

Popular? Idk

it's infinitely easier to access any part to every figure you have all in one (or a few) neat container(s) that fit in any drawer or under your bed.

I tried it all man. Crappy bead containers....tupperware....etc etc.... But right before I permanently ran out of time to work on dollies I bought a fishing tackle-box.

Friggin' perfect.

It's still full of perfectly organized crap I need to sell.

The plastic organizers are the best for normal parts, i don't recommend those acrylic cases as they tend to fuse with rubber parts. The organizers can find MG34/42 so unless you have a Gattling gun or something they would most likely fit. Also i try to put them in mini ziplocks before putting in the organizers.

I only put loose parts i bought in the organizers & leave the parts in their respective boxes since i usually leave them in 1 position.

I use something like this



And all my loose headsculpts, hands, etc are in mini bags before putting in here.

dust will get in and it's easy to fall out if you topple it.

Won't topple on my work bench and I've had no issues with dust. Its in my basement by a dehumidifier. Has worked fine for me.
