Well if you don't have many parts yet but plan to get more, I highly recommend you start starting your parts early. I had around 100,000 parts in a couple huge boxes before I started sorting and it was a nightmare!

It's not huge, but is enough big for buildin small models.

Here is shelf with my lego sets:

Note:

There are only system sets, because all technic models are sorted in OKT boxes.

Under the shelf my little minion is sleeping ;)

I just sat for a couple of evenings in front of my Lego boxes and sorted and organized all of my studless stuff. I just sorted them by elements/parts not by colour, and the "old style" Lego stays still in a box in whcih I will have to rummage around for finding a specific part (like in the good old days of childhood). :thumbup::excited:

For the German guys, I bought the boxes at Obi. They might not be cheap, but they have a very good quality, separate little boxes to take out, they are stackable and - how funny - they are "Made in Denmark". :laugh:

Here are the item-numbers and prices:

  • LUX Sortierkasten flexibel 41 cm hoch (8cm high) - 6641021 - 26,99€
  • LUX Sortierkasten flexibel 41 cm (5,5cm high) - 6641005 - 19,99€

As I don't have a specific room to work in, at least I have now the possibility to start building and to clean up rather fast.

I just started a couple of months ago. Right now I work on a black collapsible table in the living room (and get yelled at routinely to move). It's a 3*3*3*3 table, obviously square. I have one project box with compartments right now. Though, with this 800+ piece aircraft carrier I'm working on I had to break out a couple of Tupperware containers too. I'm getting another box next month. My hope is one day to have a room dedicated to Lego. We'll see.

That probably resulted in even more yelling :wink:

(I build on the dining-room table. OK, 'building' not being the operative word. By the time I get everything unpacked, I have to put it all away again because by then it's time to go to bed. And this is for building OOB, even. MOC'ing is reserved for dreams and unrealistic retirement plans. Unrealistic as in ' no pensioner actually has any spare time, especially when (grand)kids are involved')

I've been building in the garage for the last few months now, and it seems to be working pretty well :classic:

These two were back at the start of the current project, everything was so tidy and organized :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

It now looks like this, I'm about half way through the project and you can see how big it is:

And just a little shot of the project so far :wink:

I really need to have a tidy up :laugh: :laugh: :laugh::blush:

I want to have a place in my living room for LEGO, but it needs to be disguised when not building, so no easy access drawers visible all the time. It will probably be custom built and will need to incorporate the desk with PC and 24" rotating screen.

Do you have any suggestions?

I was thinking of a wardrobe with deep drawers (is it still proper name if I don't store clothes in?) next to a desk, and a desk which would have deep drawers under and some shallow space above the desk with screen in the middle. Maybe some shelf on top of the screen and that shallow space for parts.

Actually I have something similar in my living room, because I was facing the same problem. I will post a picture shortly.

I do not want to subscribe to yet another site.

It's time EB can host pictures for itself.

Actually it's better not to host the pictures on EB. Hosting on EB will greatly reduce performance. And we would need a ton of harddisk space. So, in many ways it's better to have an external hosting service.

That looks familiar... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Nice place to spend your time and build... :thumbup:

Man your back must hurt :laugh:

Yep, I would agree with that...hate sitting on the floor... :laugh: :laugh:

This is my workplace/room

Nice too!!!

Wonder why... :laugh: :laugh: :wink: As you can see it's a bit messier than at the start of the project when you last saw it :laugh::blush:

Man your back must hurt :laugh:

It can be less than comfortable at times, but the beanbag helps a lot :wink:

That's a really nice space you have there mate :thumbup: The Actros is coming along well too, can't wait to see that finished :classic:

Well, you can see the finished model on Brickshelf, look for Actros 4150K

It is a copy from the green one from Sandman.

Instructions and partslist can be found on brickforge.de.

Only difference is that mine is blue with a white crane.

Since I just re-started to looking into doing this... my work space consists of basement floor (desk/table if clean down there) and my assortment of blocks... well

Stuff from my childhood is in 1x 20 Gallon Bin + 1x 8 Gallon Bin + 1x Cardboard box (like what you'd get a huge stack of computer paper in)

New stuff most of its built original sets, so stored in a 1 Gallon plastic container for small parts right now.

I need bins, and sorting system like you guys. Guess time to look at and invest :)

We have been revamping the 2nd floor for several weeks. The end is near, which means all the stored stuff doesn't occupy my LEGO room anymore. To celebrate I went to good 'ol Ikea and got me an extra desk.

So I went from:

To:

Gots to love Ikea :sweet::thumbup:

Having more deskspace makes the entire room feel much more spacious. And finally the desk space to do some proper building (two WIPs visible on my desk). Now I need to get me some of those handy storage-drawer-unit-thingies.
