Hello lads,

while my build just got started I was wondering how you guys store all those little pieces that you have already built, like the cannon, anchor, the launch and stuff. Within the next weeks I have to figure of some solution before my table gets jammed, have to store them somewhere in a safe place.

Any hints ?

Hi Timm! BigGrin

You could use a box but better than that if you can get your hands on a wall hung display cabinet works great keeps the dust off and you can see all your hard work while keeping little fingers off.

Hiya mate, I store mine in ice cream tubs, but it's advised to add some silica beads to stop any moister, the lids are also good for bending planks BigGrin and the ice cream is bloody delicious, and will all the bits were getting, we will need allot of tubs LOL

Just soak the planks in warm water for 20 mins, then bend to fit lid, secure with rubber bands, and let dry.

Mine reside in a drawer of my desk. The build itself sits on a bookshelf, until it becomes too big!

@LoneStar
That is a fantastic idea! Cool

So why heck are the german iceboxes of Carte d'or square ????
Need a link to the UK immigration office Drool

No.. honestly: a very goog idea mate. I was thinking to store my stuff in the boxes DeAg ships the magazines. But things keep bumping around in there. Wrapping in Kleenex would make difficult to find things back. Maybe I should really check out some icecream in the supermarket.

Thanks, Timm

DeAg ships two issues at once every second week. I just got #5 and #6.
All shipments so far came in a cardbox, maybe because of the goodies the subscribers get. I don't know if they continue that way after the last freebie, the toolbox, has been delivered. I hope they will.
