phool Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Anyway, could (and want) you make a picture of your sets too? I'm particuarly intersted in how you stored them? I second this request as well I'm also looking for good ideas to store sets at the moment! Quote

CisFran Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Updated collection: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=429865 Nice collection there Interceptor! Quote
chorlton Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Apologies for the weird ghosting but I took several photos and stitched them together into a panorama. That was as of 2011. Add 9395, 9396, 9397, 9398, 42007, um... some eBay miscellania, a couple of 8428s. The studded sets are now all taken apart and stored in the attic with their boxes. Anything post-dark-ages is broken down and sorted in Really Useful plastic boxes. I almost have too much Lego. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Nice collection,you can never have too much Lego... Edited March 18, 2013 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
nychase Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Nice collection,you can never have too much Lego... There are quite a few wives that would beg to differ... Quote
chorlton Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 There are quite a few wives that would beg to differ... GF bought 8421 for me five or so years ago. it's all her fault! Quote
_techniclego55_ Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Here is a new picture of my Setup.. Enjoy ! Edited March 18, 2013 by _techniclego55_ Quote
chorlton Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Here is a new picture of my Setup.. Enjoy ! Genuine question, but where do you keep large panels and long beams for example. The screw-drawers don't look big enough? I ask because when I start a new build I find myself running out of space due to those all being in separate, possibly too-large, boxes. It's actually inhibiting a smooth workflow because I have to think about getting a box out, then putting it away, then possibly taking it out again. P.I.T.A. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I have my beams sorted out into different colours and then shoved into a big enough box. Quote
Porty Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I love all of your small part magazines. I know what it's like to have otherwise... I have massive drawers... like 1 foot by 1 foot. Quote

I keep all of my panels, wheels, etc. ... in the drawers on the right side of the desk. My lego bricks are all in a box underneath the desk on the left side.. In the picture the drawers look not so big indeed, but there is enough room for my lego stuff... Edited March 19, 2013 by _techniclego55_ Quote
Reqlex Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 This is my collection ... I'm still looking for 8081 :-) Gr. Alex Quote
Theo van Vroenhoven Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) After seeing all these nice setups I decided that it is about time that I show you mine. My LEGO collection is literally jammed in between my other two hobbies: Home Cinema and Pinball. In my basement, which is 4,5 x 5,5 m in size, I have one showcase that can contain about 10 models. Since I came out of my Dark Age, one year ago, I bought more than 20 so here is the problem... So every time I buy a new set something else has to go. On the other hand this is a good thing since I don't have LEGO all around my house now. I like building large MOCs like Jurgens Backhoe. The actual building takes place in my study or on the dining table in the living room. If you look closely at the picture you can also recognize Mahjqa's Metal Grudge, Nico's Crawler and Sariels Mercedes. Jurgens Koenigsegg and Designer Han's 8421 XL are next on the list. I also bought Sariels book so may be in the future I can design my own MOCs. I have about 15 compartment boxes I bought at a local DIY store called 'Karwei'. They come with different size compartments, so that's nice. Whenever I start a new project I take a black box with changeable compartments and pick the parts I need. Can you tell which project I am going to work on next? Sorry for the bad pictures but the lighting in the basement is a problem and I only have a very simple camera..

technicfan Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) There is some nice setups here. Davidmull the Unimog looks good on the power puller wheels. Also I noticed that a few people have decided to make the 9394 plane instead of the jet. Edited March 22, 2013 by technicfan Quote
davidmull Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I need to find a spare shelve for this beast ;) Quote

Someonenamedjon Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 WOW! All those pin ball machines, how much are your power bills? Quote
Lakop Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Who needs pin ball machines when you have lego. Why not build a pin ball machine with your lego. Looks like you have enough parts. H PS: Nice home cinema Quote
Kumbbl Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Well, here is my technic collection: This is the complete set-list: And here most of them built and in in "real life": In the left upper corner you see the cover-model (blue excavator) of the book 8888 - IMHO a real twee model... The icons 8880 and 8455 i own 2 times so the really good b-model can be built for its own... The models 9395, 8069, 8258, 8043, 8431, 8466, 8858, 8485 and 8448 are currently dismanteled in their boxes... i'm running out of space Edited March 28, 2013 by Kumbbl Quote
