I did that for a while but I felt like I was spending more time looking for where I put something than I did anything else! That and after a while there was just too much stuff to dig through! Those bins and parts bags have really helped keep all the bits and pieces straight and I can find things so much faster now. If I need a 3mm spacer and I find it quickly, something I could not do before!
Thanks! It has taken quite a while to find things that worked well for me. It sure beats diggin around in big boxes of stuff and not being able to find what I am looking for! I hate knowing I have something but not able to find it. I still do but that is because I cannot remember anything in general! LOL!!
Addam…. This was awesome!!! I really enjoyed seeing how others organize their bits and bobs…. I’m definitely heading over to Harbour Freight to get a couple of those organizers. Thank you so much for sharing…. Happy RCing.
Thank you! Those parts bins are great and the lock lid has prevented massive clean ups from occurring more than once! it has taken quite a while to get things worked out so it is organized chaos! Take care and I hope you can find them!
That was such a great tour of your rc space Addam!, there were a bunch of laughs at the drivers figures and a bunch of wows from us over the fraction of your collection on show all the way over here in Australia, awesome mate and thanks so much for sharing it👍🙏. Great idea with the storage bins and bits n pieces containers mate👌, we're going to try and get some to sort our things out. Take care mate👍🦘🇦🇺
Glad you both enjoyed it and always glad to hear that you were able to get some giggles from it and possibly some ideas as well. Those bins and parts bags really have helped me a ton to stay on top of things and be able to find things when I need them instead of rummaging through boxes of stuff for lord knows how long until I can find what I was digging for! I started with 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them, there are more out in the garage. They also work great for restoration projects too! A little time spent on organizing all the stuff can save a lot of time and frustration later on when looking for that thing you put away where you knew you would find it again!! LOL!
Thank you! It had started to get out of hand a year or so ago and I had to figure out some ways to condense and organize stuff or I would never find anything!! I still can't find things from time to time but that is just plain forgetfulness!! LOL!!
I tell ya there is just something about an organized work space man. Looks like That is exactly what you got there. I just finished my new room as well and it is a great feeling. Thanks for sharing and Have a great weekend
It is a nice feeling to know if you need a part or piece you can easily go find where you put it! I am glad you got your room wrapped up and I am sure you are glad to have all that behind you! Have a wonderful weekend too!!
One of these days in the wastelands it will be the currency of collectors! LOL! I think most of us feel like they will be useful for a spacer or something in the future but then we end up with hundreds of them and at that point it is too late, we are committed to never throwing any of them away!
@@AddamsPlayground depending on the kit you can probably add them as spacers for the body posts too set the height of the body if it needs a pretty tall lift upwards.
Wow, that's great organized. It looks like it took years, but in the end it was worth all the work. Hoping my wife won't see it. She would force me to repeat it. But before I had to drive her to IKEA😂
It has taken years to get this all sorted! The bins and bags are great for spare parts and bits and pieces. I started with 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! It does feel good to have a home for everything but as you could see I have to label them to remember what is in each one of them! A trip to Ikea is something I have avoided my entire adult life, I think I'd end up going broke if I actually went into one!
@@AddamsPlayground my nemesis is the grocerie department at the end. You buy sweets, cakes, salmon, sauces, and, and, and.... then you have to hurry 30 miles because it's a hot day and you bought frozen stuff. Luckily they build their store here beside the autobahn, but I never met a lady happy about going 120 mph because of the melting fish.🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHA dear Addam very well !! It seems to see me: all those bushes... we use ball bearings but surprisingly we keep bushes that we never will use!! Compliments for the perfect storage way. I'll take some ideas! Ciao My friend, Nanni
Yeah, I have no idea what I will ever do with 1000 plastic bushings but I keep saving them. I will find a use for them one day, maybe a new line of Tamiya fashion accessories! I had to get organized and started using those bins and bags for storing parts and pieces a while ago as I was spending so much time trying to find things! I had so much stuff piled into a few spots I could not remember where I had put things! I still forget where I put things from time to time but that is just plain forgetfulness so organization can't help with that. Take care my friend and have a great weekend!
Thank you! The Cougar does need another video. I will get one done very soon. I have a lineup of cars that need run videos done of them and I am going to do those before I get into building or restoring anything else! I do like the look of it, it turned out pretty sweet!!
@@rocpile yeah, I feel kind of bad about not doing anything with it yet. I had to get the shorty pack for it and once it showed up I had gotten into other things and it got put on the shelf. I brought it into the new studio so I would make sure to get it out and still have not. I have a list of 5 or 6 things that need a run video done. I will be getting to those as soon as we get back from vacation! I have one kit I brought to build and another to run while we are here but as soon as I get back home I will work on getting the run videos knocked out!!
You’re on your “A” game Addam, I definitely need to get mores organized! I like your bushing exchange idea, I don’t know why I hang onto all of them!🤣 Such a nice collection! Do you ever just sit down there and look at them? I find myself doing that!😂 Great video!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy! I had to do something a as I was buried in things and could not find anything! I started getting those bins about 2 years ago and got 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! I really love the bins and little parts bags, they make things so much quicker to find. I have enough problem remembering things as is but when it is all together I am hopeless! I do just sit back and enjoy looking at them and do spend time out there just staring at them! I love them all and enjoy just picking them up and setting them on the bench and looking them over and remembering all about the building and stuff. Lots of memories of the old magazine ads and stuff too so little bits of happiness!!!
I tried getting everything in there so it was convenient but not pile on top of me. I have been using those bins and bags for storage for a while and they really help! I was spending more time hunting for where I put stuff before!
Great minds think alike. I also store all my spare parts in ziplock bags and plastic tubs. I might also have to get myself a tool rack similar to what you have on the bench as my tools need some organisation. Great space you’ve made there Addam. Well done.
Those plastic bins and the small parts bags help out so much to be able to find things again!!! I used to use the Ziplock baggies but there were so many is was weeding through a sea of plastic bags. I found the smaller ones very helpful to sort things better and still be able to rummage through them pretty easily. The tool holders are nice to have as everything is right there and I found I am terrible about putting tools away once I done and now that racks are there I can put everything away in less than a minute!
I have to be as organized as I can be. Anything less and I spend more time looking for stuff than I do working on things and that aint no fun!! I lose the tools I just had in my hand most days so putting stuff away in place "where I know I'll find it later" doesn't work! I have to have dedicated spots for item or I'll drive myself bonkers! LOL!
Bro I have like 30 of these storage containers. I couldn't imagine what my shop would look like without them. Your shop/studio is really coming along. Well done my brother.!!
It is nice when things have a specific home and you can go right to it and find what you need. I spent so much time before digging through boxes looking for something I knew I had but just could not find because I "put it away where I would be able to find it again"!! I have 30 or more as well now, there are more out in the garage area too.
Oh, man, you are sooo organized! Very nice! Lots of stuff in those boxes, more than what you'd ever need, but of course we all know if you throw any of it away, you're gonna need it within a few days, ha ha! I finally got me a full room for my RC addiction, but it'll still be probably a half a year before I can have it sorted, now all the outdoor stuff is more important, but at least I got some time to think it through, ha ha.
It has taken some time to get this organized but I had so much stuff I was getting buried in things and could not find anything so I had to do something! Those little bins and the those small parts bags are a real life saver and really help a lot to keep things tidy and to give me good areas to store and to find things quickly! I hope you can get to the hobby room soon than later but I understand the real life chores are priority! Take care and have fun planning out the workspace!
LOL! Yeah there is still little bits of chaos sprinkled throughout so it is not all perfect! I have a couple out in the garage labeled "crap" and "why?" just because I cannot throw it all away but may not ever use it!
Believe me, this was not always the case! It used to be just a couple boxes of stuff all tossed in and I could never find anything. I hate knowing I have something and not being able to find it. I do it often enough with everyday items so having tons and tons of parts and bits and pieces I had to do something!! It does make it very nice for everything to have a place and a home. Things are easier to find and to put away now. Don't worry, I still have my messes and I still lose stuff all the time!
I like you're style Addam, you and I work in a very similar manner mate! I have virtually identical methods, only difference being I have all my specific kit parts/tree's in each specific cars original kit box. Organisation is totally ESSENTIAL as far as I'm concerned! My organisation is bordering on eccentric, but I would rather be that way than the other! 😉 Your paint display though is on another level, what a great idea! 👌 Loving that classic cougar, would be lovely to see that a little more in depth? As for those plastic bushings, did make me chuckle.... It was only yesterday I looked at that HUGE bag of un used ones I have and thought to myself "what the hell am I guna do with all these?!" 😂 🤣 A bushings exchange program is a brilliant idea! Cheers for the tour bud, most interesting. 👍 👍 👍 👍
I had to do something to help stay organized as I used to just toss everything into a couple boxes and they grew to an unmanageable size and I was spending all my time digging though them looking for one specific thing. I hate knowing I have something but not being able to to find it, it drives my nutty!! The paint rack does work well and looks cool too! I saw someone else had made one out of wood and I had drawn up some quick plans to build on but have not had the time to build it and I saw these spice racks and thought they would be pretty cool. It took about 20 minutes to get it together overall and get it hung, only slow part was I had to wait for the paint on the wood to dry. I was thinking about asking for a massive collection of the bushings and i could end up with the worlds largest Tamiya bushing collection in the world! I still wouldn't know what in the world I would end up doing with them though!!! LOL! Maybe if I had millions Tamiya would recognize it and send me a coupon for $5 of a new kit! LOL!!! Take care!!
@@AddamsPlayground Spice rack eh? That works a treat mate..... very creative! I use the TS rattle tin lids as display stands for my shelf queens, keeps them raised and stops flat spotting of the tires. Lol to the bushings collection..... There must be so many millions of them out there! I could understand them not supplying bearings back in the day as they were very expensive back then, but now they are so cheap (and even cheaper with economies of scale)..... they should just supply them as standard on all kits and just raise the price in accordance. 😊 👍 👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC yeah, bulk bearings are not expensive but they still seem to raise the price of the kits about $20-30 when bearings are included. The paint caps are a good idea for display purposes. I started with old tires and wheels but ran out and found the yoga blocks and went with them instead. I am kind of married to them now!
Great tour R/C room goals. I use ULine for random shipping bags, boxes and such huge paper catalog. Some stuff I never thought of just an idea to check out.
I love a good Uline catalog. I have thumbed through them many times but I have never ordered anything from them. I probably should as they generally only carry good quality stuff!
I try, if I wasn't then i would spend more time trying to remember where I put things then actually building or tinkering on things! My scattered mind needs to have organization like this or I'd never find anything and end up with 3 or 4 of everything from just giving up and buying another one! I think my wife would kill me!
Thanks Duke! All of this organization has developed over the last 2 years and I had to do something as I had so much stuff all piled together it was a nightmare to find anything! Now it is just forgetfulness if I can't find something but plastic bins won't fix that!! LOL!
Thanks! There is still moments of chaos here and there when things pile up but those plastic bins and small part bags have really kept things organized and in places where I can find things much quicker. Digging for stuff for hours makes me go nuts!
G'day Adam I enjoyed that video mate the walk around the man cave I love how you have everything organised it's awesome I'm nearly as organised as you. 👍👍
Hey Lionel, it has taken a long time to get this organized! few years ago there were two big boxes of stuff and I spent more time rummaging through those looking for stuff than anything else. I had to force myself to clean up and find a way to make it less chaotic and this worked well. I love the little bins and parts bags, everything has a home now!!
Addam, you are a very well organized person, I hope that I can get that organized with my workshop. I have my parts in their original bags in a 4 draw cabinet and some in the black book shelfs, but as far a label (there not). You have a wonderful collection of RCs as well the blocks you have them displayed on where did you get them? I would like to get into airbrush, seems like that would better than spray paint (not so wasteful). Thank you for the tour and your collection. Take care and stay safe. 💯💯💯💯👍
Thanks Al! It has taken a few years to figure things out and find a way to organize things where almost everything has a dedicated home, It saved me a lot of frustration and confusion when looking for things I knew I had but forgot where I put them. I use foam yoga blocks for The car stands. I but them from Amazon and cut them in half or in 3rds as many of mine are not as big as many of yours are! You can find 2 packs of the yoga blocks for $15-20 usually. I have an airbrush but rarely use it, I tend to still use the Tamiya spray paint as they match the box art and they work really well. I do plan on trying to do a few more detailed paint jobs sometime this summer and will be using the airbrush. I need to get a spray booth figured out first! The Proline airbrush paint is really nice as it does not stink anywhere near as bad as the spray paints do!
Those plastic bins and the small parts bags help out so much! All the spare bits from builds and all the parts left over from a restoration are nice to sort and put away as you never know when you may need one of them. Those hardware bins have been a lifesaver from time to time as well!
Shelf space is always a struggle! Seems like the minute you have some free space you turn around it is full again!! Those plastic bins and the small parts bags do make a world of difference when storing and finding bits and pieces! I started with a couple and then a couple more... Now there is about 30 of them!!
Yes, if it one think I hate the most it is knowing I have something and not being able to find it!!! Half the time it is the tool I was just using 5 minutes ago but for everything else this helps a lot!!
Thank you! It does look good with all the paints up there! My wife shook her head and said I have more paint than the hobby shop! I wish it were true, I never seem to have everything I need! LOL!
Thanks Steve! It still does get messy and chaotic in there at times but having dedicated spots for everything does make the cleanup a lot faster and I always (well almost always) know where things are! Sometimes I still put something away in a place to where I can find and and then completely lose where I put it for a while!
Thanks! Physically organized, mentally there is no hope!!! LOL!! I had to do something and this is about 2 years worth of figuring out what works for me. I love those bins and parts bags a lot, they really save time for both looking for stuff and putting things away.
It started out with just a few of the little bins but once I had them stacked on top of each other it was always the bottom one that had the stuff I needed so some separation was needed!! You will one day too stand back and wonder how in the world you ended up with so much stuff! LOL!
You are way more organised than me off camera my shed is lined with shelves it absolutely needs an overhaul even my whiteboard isn't that neat mine looks like crimestoppers line's everywhere you've got so many spare parts on hand that's awesome being inside climate controlled must be way better and more convenient for you 👊
It has not always been this tidy, I worked out of a few cardboard boxes and that was a royal pain to rummage around in the and sometimes have to take it all out in order to find the one little thing I was looking for. Now I find things much faster and with less cussing at myself! I still forget where I put things but that is memory issues and not lack of organization! The basement workspace is nice and way more convenient. No more dressing for the weather and walking all the way to the garage to only have to dress back up and walk back to the house 20 minutes later when nature called!
Thank you! The paint wall is nice as it is easier to find what I have and what I need plus it looks pretty cool too! I would love to get one of the Tamiya paint racks, I am hopeful one of these day my LHS will get a replacement for theirs and I can snag their old one! I should start a collection of Tamiya bushings and see if I can get the worlds largest collection of them!!! Maybe then I could get a $10 credit voucher from Tamiya!! LOL!
You are welcome and it took quite a while to find things that worked well for me! I want to get my big tool box down there but there is not an ideal spot down there for that yet. I need to get some other stuff moved out and then I will have room for it.
It has taken me a long time to figure out I need to be this organized and to get this organized to avoid spending all my time trying to find stuff! I started getting those bins and it went from 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! I love that everything has a home, well almost everything! It really makes things quicker and easier to clean up too. I wish I could do the same for my brain, that is a cluttered mess! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground lets nit even go anywhere near my brain 🤣🤣 Hoping 'my room' will be finished being plastered soon so I can make the 2nd work bench with more organisation underneath... soon, hopefully
Thank you! I think on the outside I am pretty organized, thankfully you can't see the chaos in my head LOL!!!! It has taken some time to get to this point, I still have more to work on but it is a ton better than what it used to be years ago!
@@michaeldorich4485 I create enough chaos for myself so I have to control some of it by at least organizing what I can! I get it though, it is very easy to get buried in bits and pieces!
LOL! Those bins really helps keep things grouped together together to be able to find things a bit quicker. I still lose things from time to time and have to hunt them down but nowhere near as bad as it was. I can't imagine trying to wrangle all the stuff you have! I would never get anything done! LOL! I feel like if I were let loose in your workspace I spend the next 3 weeks just going "oohhhh, look at that... ooohhh what is this.... ooooh that is neat"!!!! LOL!
Hi Addam, just out of hospital, recovering from my operation and catching up on YT. Love to see organisation and more organisation, then organised, organisation. 😂😂😂best wishes to you all😊
Oh man, that is never fun! I hope you get some rest and get to feeling better soon and that everything is OK! I assume planned surgery and I hope it went as planned. I have to try and stay organized physically as mentally it is a chaotic mess but the physical organization does help that too. I like when everything has a home and I am able to go right to a spot and know things should be in there. I really dislike knowing I have a part but not being able to find it as it is buried in a sea of other stuff. Now I can fairly quickly go over and find a bag of spare body posts or servo saver parts and see if I have one I need versus rummaging through a big pile of parts trees to try and find it! Take care John and well wishes from us!
@@AddamsPlayground hi Addam, I’ve had both my L & R hips replaced sometime ago. I’ve just had the L hip revision replacement. I did get 25 years out of the 1st one though 😉😊😉
@@JF-RC oh man! Let's hope the new one is a much higher mileage unit and you don't have to go through that again! I hope you are able to be comfortable and can relax a.bit while recovering!! I will need to get my knees done at some point.
@@JF-RCmy right knee is shot! I have no ACL anymore and clicks, pops and crunches like there are loose Lagos in there!! 😂 The left one is just worn out for compensating for the other for 20+ years!
Thanks for the tour. It’s always interesting to see how others organize. We seem to gravitate towards similar solutions. As far as building up a collection of Tamiya screws. Are there any particular spare parts bags the give the best value and selections of the different tamiya screws?
Hey there Brice! I have seen you shop so I know you have a bin out there for pretty much everything! I think once you get to a certain point you are swimming in bits and pieces and have to organize or drown! LOL! Those bins and little parts bags have saved me tons of time digging through things looking for that one specific part or pieces I need. Foe the Tamiya parts bags I tend to just look for lots of parts bags on eBay and if I find a deal I will grab them. The higher end kits tend to have more variety to the hardware but also tend to be more specific for applications too. I love the DT03 parts bags as they have a lot of the black self tappers and the shoulder screws for the suspension and shock mounting. Those are nice to have on hand for restoring things and I like the black hardware over the silver for some things. I have a single silver screw sticking out like a sore thumb!
I ended up doing the same mate. I think you have to at some point😂 I ended up putting a box of stuff in the loft . I just can’t throw those trees away . Good job 👍
I had a huge moving box full of old parts trees and could not find anything in there and they were tangled together! I spent a whole evening one night just snipping bits into a bin and then the next two evenings sorting all the bits into similar lots and bagging them up. It took some time to do it but so worth it in the end. I can quickly find things now and don't have to fuss because there are 17 parts trees all bound together and refusing to come apart!
It has taken a good bit of time to get my stuff together and get this organized! I lived out of rummaging around in cardboard boxes and stuff for quite a while until it became next to impossible to find anything! I started getting those bins and got 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! They do make a big difference to be able to track of where things get put! I would like to make a video of the collection but that gonna take some time! Take care bud!
Looking good so far I really like the way you have everything now and sorry for not changing with you been going through some very difficult times right now
Hey there Fred! Thanks, it has taken quite a while for me to figure out a good system that works for me! I am very sorry to hear you have been dealing with stuff, I hope whatever it is you get through it quickly! Take care buddy and stay in touch!
Last Friday morning about 3 :30 my friend was pointing on the wall so I went to see what was wrong he was laying on the floor so had to call 911 he was having a stroke i home yesterday and I was told that he was put on hospice and he was not going to make it
Thanks, it has taken some time to figure out what works well for me. The wife is in charge of the gift shop! It is not that great, mostly just lists of house and yard work in there!! LOL!
Hi Addam, wish I had a model building room, I have to make do with the dining room table. I've recently put a deposit down on the re re Wild One, not the Blockhead. I've been told it should be available July/August.
Oh I have spent many nights working from the kitchen table and storing stuff in closets and under the bed. I am very blessed to have the space and ability to all this for sure! I will be ordering one as soon as I see them up for sale. I have the BHM version but I do love the original look of it!
Glad you liked it and hopefully I may have given you some ideas that can be helpful for you. It takes some time to get it all done for sure, don't think this was a weekend project! I started getting those bins and at first it was 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them!
Addam your organisation makes me feel chaotic 😂 Man that is awesome. Do you ever wonder if you could build your own hybrid RC just from spares you will never use? Like friction shocks and old crusty drive trains 🤔
I had to do something, I was getting buried in spare parts tree bits and random other things! I was spending more time looking for stuff and where I put it then I was on builds! The drivetrain buts are the only real thing I am missing, not too many spares of that stuff but I am sure I could cobble together a full build or two with all the stuff I have out there! I am pretty sure I could easily build a hopper style car with the spare parts!
I get super angry when I cannot find things I know I have. It still happens from time to time but it was always happening before I started getting all this stuff straight. It is a least two year of figuring out a system and getting to this point.
LOL! Right!! This guy is way too together to be me! I had to do something, there was just too much stuff boxed up in a few spots, I was spending more time looking for something I had put away than anything else. It has taken me at least 2 years to become this organized and it does help a lot. Those bins and bags have really saved me a ton of time rummaging through stuff. I know I am over 120 built cars and trucks now, might be over 130.... takes to long to count!! LOL!
My R/C hobby space is very limited so organization has become it's own hobby. Is there a better feeling than pulling a part from a well-organized bin that you otherwise would have needed to buy? 😆
I agree, knowing you have a bag of body posts from old builds and being able to find it quickly and find one to use is a great feeling. I hated knowing I had a piece I needed and then spending 2 hours rummaging through boxes of parts trees to still not find it. I'd order a new one and then find the one I was looking for two weeks later while looking for another thing!!
It really does help make things much easier to find. I hate knowing I have something but not being able to find it when I need it. I started with 3 or 4 of the bins and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! The small and large parts bags make it easier to group like things together also. Good luck with the cleanup process!
Thanks for sharing this!i have so much trouble keeping organized so this is an inspiration for me to get my stuff in order 😂 Question: what do you do with the kit boxes?
I am glad it could be helpful! I hate looking for stuff I know I have but can't find, this has helped me a lot! The kit boxes I cut the tops off of and some of the cool side panels and keep them. I have the walls of my garage wallpapered with them! I have one big section done and another big section I can fill up too with all of them.
I definitely need to get some storage bins for my hardware too. It's on my long list of things to do. By the way I have something you might be interested in. Send me an email...watch one of my videos, I always post my email somewhere close to the start of the video...or a few minutes in. RUclips doesn't allow me to put it in the comments.
I had to get organized, I was spending more time looking for things than I did on the building! It has taken me a while to find what works but I love the storage bins and the small parts bags. I have all my old parts tree parts separated into small bags of like parts so if I need a body post for something I can put my hands on a bag of them in a minute instead of rummaging through things for an hour or more! Ig to your email and will reply. I did not get alerted to your comment at all, I had to come looking for it. thank you and I will respond to the email right away!
Some of them are half cans and other are extras as I usually buy two of a color when I need it in case one is not enough but one is usually more than enough so I end up with a wall of paint. It is nice as many times i can just grab one off the wall and not have to run out to the hobby shop to get a can. I have a bad problem of bringing home additional RCs when I go in for paint! LOL!! That describes the entire hobby for me, organized chaos! It is twice as bad down there now, twice as many storage bins full of stuff and project cars! At least it is not just pure chaos LOL!
That was where I was but I spent so much time rummaging through a couple boxes of things I started getting some of those bins and it has grown to about 30 of them now! Soon I'll be cussing because I can't find which bin I put things in!! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground 😂 yeah, im gonna have a big sort out of parts. Get rid of what i dont need and try and sort out what i need into a decent arrangment !!!!! Watch this space lol
LOL! I do keep a few things on hand! Any time you need something stop by and see if I have one, you're welcome to it. The drive might be a bit of a long one though! LOL!!
Oh my goodness you are so much more organised than I am. I've got stuff all over the place. Thanks for sharing Addam 😁
I did that for a while but I felt like I was spending more time looking for where I put something than I did anything else! That and after a while there was just too much stuff to dig through! Those bins and parts bags have really helped keep all the bits and pieces straight and I can find things so much faster now. If I need a 3mm spacer and I find it quickly, something I could not do before!
@@AddamsPlayground It's a good point and I have tried to have things slightly organised but I still need a good rummage now and then 😁
Great organization ideas, well done my friend!

Those bins and parts bags really have helped me a ton to stay on top of things and be able to find things when I need them instead of rummaging through boxes of stuff for lord knows how long until I can find what I was digging for! I started with 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them, there are more out in the garage. They also work great for restoration projects too!
A little time spent on organizing all the stuff can save a lot of time and frustration later on when looking for that thing you put away where you knew you would find it again!! LOL!
Nice setup, Addam! 👏🏻👌🏻
Thank you! It had started to get out of hand a year or so ago and I had to figure out some ways to condense and organize stuff or I would never find anything!! I still can't find things from time to time but that is just plain forgetfulness!! LOL!!
I tell ya there is just something about an organized work space man. Looks like That is exactly what you got there. I just finished my new room as well and it is a great feeling. Thanks for sharing and Have a great weekend
It is a nice feeling to know if you need a part or piece you can easily go find where you put it! I am glad you got your room wrapped up and I am sure you are glad to have all that behind you! Have a wonderful weekend too!!
Ahhh. You saved all the plastic bushings. And I thought I'm the only crazy one
EDIT: Fantastic collection my friend. You can be really proud of
I keep them too. Not sure why...
One of these days in the wastelands it will be the currency of collectors! LOL! I think most of us feel like they will be useful for a spacer or something in the future but then we end up with hundreds of them and at that point it is too late, we are committed to never throwing any of them away!
@@AddamsPlayground depending on the kit you can probably add them as spacers for the body posts too set the height of the body if it needs a pretty tall lift upwards.
@@Mini-z1994 Great idea
@@Mini-z1994 True, at this point I almost have enough to lift my full sized truck LOL!!
Wow, that's great organized. It looks like it took years, but in the end it was worth all the work. Hoping my wife won't see it. She would force me to repeat it. But before I had to drive her to IKEA😂
It has taken years to get this all sorted! The bins and bags are great for spare parts and bits and pieces. I started with 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! It does feel good to have a home for everything but as you could see I have to label them to remember what is in each one of them! A trip to Ikea is something I have avoided my entire adult life, I think I'd end up going broke if I actually went into one!
@@AddamsPlayground my nemesis is the grocerie department at the end. You buy sweets, cakes, salmon, sauces, and, and, and.... then you have to hurry 30 miles because it's a hot day and you bought frozen stuff. Luckily they build their store here beside the autobahn, but I never met a lady happy about going 120 mph because of the melting fish.🤣🤣🤣
@@RCBirds Now that is fast food!!
@@AddamsPlayground 🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHA dear Addam very well !! It seems to see me: all those bushes... we use ball bearings but surprisingly we keep bushes that we never will use!! Compliments for the perfect storage way. I'll take some ideas! Ciao My friend, Nanni
Yeah, I have no idea what I will ever do with 1000 plastic bushings but I keep saving them. I will find a use for them one day, maybe a new line of Tamiya fashion accessories! I had to get organized and started using those bins and bags for storing parts and pieces a while ago as I was spending so much time trying to find things! I had so much stuff piled into a few spots I could not remember where I had put things! I still forget where I put things from time to time but that is just plain forgetfulness so organization can't help with that. Take care my friend and have a great weekend!
Great setup Addam. The Cougar Classic needs another video. It looks sick.
Thank you! The Cougar does need another video. I will get one done very soon. I have a lineup of cars that need run videos done of them and I am going to do those before I get into building or restoring anything else! I do like the look of it, it turned out pretty sweet!!
@@AddamsPlayground I would really enjoy seeing more on the Cougar
@@rocpile yeah, I feel kind of bad about not doing anything with it yet. I had to get the shorty pack for it and once it showed up I had gotten into other things and it got put on the shelf. I brought it into the new studio so I would make sure to get it out and still have not. I have a list of 5 or 6 things that need a run video done. I will be getting to those as soon as we get back from vacation! I have one kit I brought to build and another to run while we are here but as soon as I get back home I will work on getting the run videos knocked out!!
You’re on your “A” game Addam, I definitely need to get mores
organized!
I like your bushing exchange idea, I don’t know why I hang onto all of them!🤣
Such a nice collection! Do you ever just sit down there and look at them? I find myself doing that!😂
Great video!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy! I had to do something a as I was buried in things and could not find anything! I started getting those bins about 2 years ago and got 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! I really love the bins and little parts bags, they make things so much quicker to find. I have enough problem remembering things as is but when it is all together I am hopeless!
I do just sit back and enjoy looking at them and do spend time out there just staring at them! I love them all and enjoy just picking them up and setting them on the bench and looking them over and remembering all about the building and stuff. Lots of memories of the old magazine ads and stuff too so little bits of happiness!!!
A very organised and cosy RC room you got there Addam. Thanks for the tour! 👍😊
I tried getting everything in there so it was convenient but not pile on top of me. I have been using those bins and bags for storage for a while and they really help! I was spending more time hunting for where I put stuff before!
Great minds think alike. I also store all my spare parts in ziplock bags and plastic tubs. I might also have to get myself a tool rack similar to what you have on the bench as my tools need some organisation. Great space you’ve made there Addam. Well done.
Those plastic bins and the small parts bags help out so much to be able to find things again!!! I used to use the Ziplock baggies but there were so many is was weeding through a sea of plastic bags. I found the smaller ones very helpful to sort things better and still be able to rummage through them pretty easily. The tool holders are nice to have as everything is right there and I found I am terrible about putting tools away once I done and now that racks are there I can put everything away in less than a minute!
You are a very organised tidy dude my friend...put me to shame Addam.
Thanks for the quick tour cheers James.
I have to be as organized as I can be. Anything less and I spend more time looking for stuff than I do working on things and that aint no fun!! I lose the tools I just had in my hand most days so putting stuff away in place "where I know I'll find it later" doesn't work! I have to have dedicated spots for item or I'll drive myself bonkers! LOL!
Bro I have like 30 of these storage containers. I couldn't imagine what my shop would look like without them. Your shop/studio is really coming along. Well done my brother.!!
It is nice when things have a specific home and you can go right to it and find what you need. I spent so much time before digging through boxes looking for something I knew I had but just could not find because I "put it away where I would be able to find it again"!! I have 30 or more as well now, there are more out in the garage area too.
@@AddamsPlayground so much easier.! And they look good too.!!
Oh, man, you are sooo organized! Very nice! Lots of stuff in those boxes, more than what you'd ever need, but of course we all know if you throw any of it away, you're gonna need it within a few days, ha ha! I finally got me a full room for my RC addiction, but it'll still be probably a half a year before I can have it sorted, now all the outdoor stuff is more important, but at least I got some time to think it through, ha ha.
It has taken some time to get this organized but I had so much stuff I was getting buried in things and could not find anything so I had to do something! Those little bins and the those small parts bags are a real life saver and really help a lot to keep things tidy and to give me good areas to store and to find things quickly! I hope you can get to the hobby room soon than later but I understand the real life chores are priority! Take care and have fun planning out the workspace!
I like the bin labeled STUFF! 👍😂
LOL! Yeah there is still little bits of chaos sprinkled throughout so it is not all perfect! I have a couple out in the garage labeled "crap" and "why?" just because I cannot throw it all away but may not ever use it!
@@AddamsPlayground "CRAP bin" and "WHY bin"! OMG, that is awesome and hilarious! 😁
I feel like a slob, seeing all that! Awesome organization!
Believe me, this was not always the case! It used to be just a couple boxes of stuff all tossed in and I could never find anything. I hate knowing I have something and not being able to find it. I do it often enough with everyday items so having tons and tons of parts and bits and pieces I had to do something!! It does make it very nice for everything to have a place and a home. Things are easier to find and to put away now. Don't worry, I still have my messes and I still lose stuff all the time!
I like you're style Addam, you and I work in a very similar manner mate!
I have virtually identical methods, only difference being I have all my specific kit parts/tree's in each specific cars original kit box.
Organisation is totally ESSENTIAL as far as I'm concerned!
My organisation is bordering on eccentric, but I would rather be that way than the other! 😉
Your paint display though is on another level, what a great idea! 👌
Loving that classic cougar, would be lovely to see that a little more in depth?
As for those plastic bushings, did make me chuckle.... It was only yesterday I looked at that HUGE bag of un used ones I have and thought to myself "what the hell am I guna do with all these?!" 😂 🤣
A bushings exchange program is a brilliant idea!
Cheers for the tour bud, most interesting. 👍 👍 👍 👍
I had to do something to help stay organized as I used to just toss everything into a couple boxes and they grew to an unmanageable size and I was spending all my time digging though them looking for one specific thing. I hate knowing I have something but not being able to to find it, it drives my nutty!!
The paint rack does work well and looks cool too! I saw someone else had made one out of wood and I had drawn up some quick plans to build on but have not had the time to build it and I saw these spice racks and thought they would be pretty cool. It took about 20 minutes to get it together overall and get it hung, only slow part was I had to wait for the paint on the wood to dry.
I was thinking about asking for a massive collection of the bushings and i could end up with the worlds largest Tamiya bushing collection in the world! I still wouldn't know what in the world I would end up doing with them though!!! LOL! Maybe if I had millions Tamiya would recognize it and send me a coupon for $5 of a new kit! LOL!!! Take care!!
@@AddamsPlayground
Spice rack eh? That works a treat mate..... very creative!
I use the TS rattle tin lids as display stands for my shelf queens, keeps them raised and stops flat spotting of the tires.
Lol to the bushings collection.....
There must be so many millions of them out there!
I could understand them not supplying bearings back in the day as they were very expensive back then, but now they are so cheap (and even cheaper with economies of scale)..... they should just supply them as standard on all kits and just raise the price in accordance.
😊 👍 👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC yeah, bulk bearings are not expensive but they still seem to raise the price of the kits about $20-30 when bearings are included. The paint caps are a good idea for display purposes. I started with old tires and wheels but ran out and found the yoga blocks and went with them instead. I am kind of married to them now!
Nice paint wall got to have stuff at hand and be able to find them.
It does make it a lot easier to find things and inventory what I have on hand so I can try and make sure I am delayed when going to build something.
Great tour R/C room goals. I use ULine for random shipping bags, boxes and such huge paper catalog. Some stuff I never thought of just an idea to check out.
I love a good Uline catalog. I have thumbed through them many times but I have never ordered anything from them. I probably should as they generally only carry good quality stuff!
Wow your so organised Addam well done bro amazing 😀😀👍
I try, if I wasn't then i would spend more time trying to remember where I put things then actually building or tinkering on things! My scattered mind needs to have organization like this or I'd never find anything and end up with 3 or 4 of everything from just giving up and buying another one! I think my wife would kill me!
Awesome Man Cave brother, have a great weekend
Thanks Duke! All of this organization has developed over the last 2 years and I had to do something as I had so much stuff all piled together it was a nightmare to find anything! Now it is just forgetfulness if I can't find something but plastic bins won't fix that!! LOL!
I really need to organize my stuff. You are an inspiration.
Thanks! There is still moments of chaos here and there when things pile up but those plastic bins and small part bags have really kept things organized and in places where I can find things much quicker. Digging for stuff for hours makes me go nuts!
G'day Adam I enjoyed that video mate the walk around the man cave I love how you have everything organised it's awesome I'm nearly as organised as you. 👍👍
Hey Lionel, it has taken a long time to get this organized! few years ago there were two big boxes of stuff and I spent more time rummaging through those looking for stuff than anything else. I had to force myself to clean up and find a way to make it less chaotic and this worked well. I love the little bins and parts bags, everything has a home now!!
Addam, you are a very well organized person, I hope that I can get that organized with my workshop. I have my parts in their original bags in a 4 draw cabinet and some in the black book shelfs, but as far a label (there not). You have a wonderful collection of RCs as well the blocks you have them displayed on where did you get them? I would like to get into airbrush, seems like that would better than spray paint (not so wasteful). Thank you for the tour and your collection. Take care and stay safe. 💯💯💯💯👍
Thanks Al! It has taken a few years to figure things out and find a way to organize things where almost everything has a dedicated home, It saved me a lot of frustration and confusion when looking for things I knew I had but forgot where I put them. I use foam yoga blocks for The car stands. I but them from Amazon and cut them in half or in 3rds as many of mine are not as big as many of yours are! You can find 2 packs of the yoga blocks for $15-20 usually. I have an airbrush but rarely use it, I tend to still use the Tamiya spray paint as they match the box art and they work really well. I do plan on trying to do a few more detailed paint jobs sometime this summer and will be using the airbrush. I need to get a spray booth figured out first! The Proline airbrush paint is really nice as it does not stink anywhere near as bad as the spray paints do!
Always fun to see how other have ther stuff setup, can always get some ideas for your own place.
Those plastic bins and the small parts bags help out so much! All the spare bits from builds and all the parts left over from a restoration are nice to sort and put away as you never know when you may need one of them. Those hardware bins have been a lifesaver from time to time as well!
@@AddamsPlayground totally agree with you, i need some more plastic bins and organizers for my spares and extras.
I really need to clean an reorganize my RC room, and add another shelf or two
Shelf space is always a struggle! Seems like the minute you have some free space you turn around it is full again!! Those plastic bins and the small parts bags do make a world of difference when storing and finding bits and pieces! I started with a couple and then a couple more... Now there is about 30 of them!!
Cool setup 👍. I did the same thing with bins. I was tired of knowing I have something but never being able to find it. Lol
Yes, if it one think I hate the most it is knowing I have something and not being able to find it!!! Half the time it is the tool I was just using 5 minutes ago but for everything else this helps a lot!!
Oh my... Im loving the paint wall! Looks like a shop 😂
Thank you! It does look good with all the paints up there! My wife shook her head and said I have more paint than the hobby shop! I wish it were true, I never seem to have everything I need! LOL!
Looks nice and organized.... it's hard to keep it that way things always get messy for me! LOL!!
Thanks Steve! It still does get messy and chaotic in there at times but having dedicated spots for everything does make the cleanup a lot faster and I always (well almost always) know where things are! Sometimes I still put something away in a place to where I can find and and then completely lose where I put it for a while!
You are very organized!
Thanks! Physically organized, mentally there is no hope!!! LOL!! I had to do something and this is about 2 years worth of figuring out what works for me. I love those bins and parts bags a lot, they really save time for both looking for stuff and putting things away.
Terrific organizing! I think the tuppy cubby is a must. Next on my list, though I have waaaay less spares and left overs. (I'm working on it) 😂😂
It started out with just a few of the little bins but once I had them stacked on top of each other it was always the bottom one that had the stuff I needed so some separation was needed!! You will one day too stand back and wonder how in the world you ended up with so much stuff! LOL!
You are way more organised than me off camera my shed is lined with shelves it absolutely needs an overhaul even my whiteboard isn't that neat mine looks like crimestoppers line's everywhere you've got so many spare parts on hand that's awesome being inside climate controlled must be way better and more convenient for you 👊
It has not always been this tidy, I worked out of a few cardboard boxes and that was a royal pain to rummage around in the and sometimes have to take it all out in order to find the one little thing I was looking for. Now I find things much faster and with less cussing at myself! I still forget where I put things but that is memory issues and not lack of organization! The basement workspace is nice and way more convenient. No more dressing for the weather and walking all the way to the garage to only have to dress back up and walk back to the house 20 minutes later when nature called!
it a great spot nice place for all you stuff the bins work out good and the paint rack is pretty cool I have some bushing for your bushing bag lol
Thank you! The paint wall is nice as it is easier to find what I have and what I need plus it looks pretty cool too! I would love to get one of the Tamiya paint racks, I am hopeful one of these day my LHS will get a replacement for theirs and I can snag their old one! I should start a collection of Tamiya bushings and see if I can get the worlds largest collection of them!!! Maybe then I could get a $10 credit voucher from Tamiya!! LOL!
i am always curious how other RCers store their extras. got some great ideas, thanks!
You are welcome and it took quite a while to find things that worked well for me! I want to get my big tool box down there but there is not an ideal spot down there for that yet. I need to get some other stuff moved out and then I will have room for it.
Loving the organisation, I need to take note of that!! Great tour around... Cheers,
It has taken me a long time to figure out I need to be this organized and to get this organized to avoid spending all my time trying to find stuff! I started getting those bins and it went from 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! I love that everything has a home, well almost everything! It really makes things quicker and easier to clean up too. I wish I could do the same for my brain, that is a cluttered mess! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground lets nit even go anywhere near my brain 🤣🤣
Hoping 'my room' will be finished being plastered soon so I can make the 2nd work bench with more organisation underneath... soon, hopefully
@@rivierarc that's awesome! Glad it is nearing completion!
You're very well organized.
Thank you! I think on the outside I am pretty organized, thankfully you can't see the chaos in my head LOL!!!! It has taken some time to get to this point, I still have more to work on but it is a ton better than what it used to be years ago!
@@AddamsPlayground The best way to describe my area of our basement is chaos.
@@michaeldorich4485 I create enough chaos for myself so I have to control some of it by at least organizing what I can! I get it though, it is very easy to get buried in bits and pieces!
Yah, in my dreams. Maybe when the new studio is done. Until then, life in the pit will not change. Shit everywhere!
LOL! Those bins really helps keep things grouped together together to be able to find things a bit quicker. I still lose things from time to time and have to hunt them down but nowhere near as bad as it was. I can't imagine trying to wrangle all the stuff you have! I would never get anything done! LOL! I feel like if I were let loose in your workspace I spend the next 3 weeks just going "oohhhh, look at that... ooohhh what is this.... ooooh that is neat"!!!! LOL!
Hi Addam, just out of hospital, recovering from my operation and catching up on YT. Love to see organisation and more organisation, then organised, organisation. 😂😂😂best wishes to you all😊
Oh man, that is never fun! I hope you get some rest and get to feeling better soon and that everything is OK! I assume planned surgery and I hope it went as planned.
I have to try and stay organized physically as mentally it is a chaotic mess but the physical organization does help that too. I like when everything has a home and I am able to go right to a spot and know things should be in there. I really dislike knowing I have a part but not being able to find it as it is buried in a sea of other stuff. Now I can fairly quickly go over and find a bag of spare body posts or servo saver parts and see if I have one I need versus rummaging through a big pile of parts trees to try and find it!
Take care John and well wishes from us!
@@AddamsPlayground hi Addam, I’ve had both my L & R hips replaced sometime ago. I’ve just had the L hip revision replacement. I did get 25 years out of the 1st one though 😉😊😉

Thanks for the tour. It’s always interesting to see how others organize. We seem to gravitate towards similar solutions.
As far as building up a collection of Tamiya screws. Are there any particular spare parts bags the give the best value and selections of the different tamiya screws?
Hey there Brice! I have seen you shop so I know you have a bin out there for pretty much everything! I think once you get to a certain point you are swimming in bits and pieces and have to organize or drown! LOL! Those bins and little parts bags have saved me tons of time digging through things looking for that one specific part or pieces I need.
Foe the Tamiya parts bags I tend to just look for lots of parts bags on eBay and if I find a deal I will grab them. The higher end kits tend to have more variety to the hardware but also tend to be more specific for applications too. I love the DT03 parts bags as they have a lot of the black self tappers and the shoulder screws for the suspension and shock mounting. Those are nice to have on hand for restoring things and I like the black hardware over the silver for some things. I have a single silver screw sticking out like a sore thumb!
I ended up doing the same mate. I think you have to at some point😂 I ended up putting a box of stuff in the loft . I just can’t throw those trees away . Good job 👍
I had a huge moving box full of old parts trees and could not find anything in there and they were tangled together! I spent a whole evening one night just snipping bits into a bin and then the next two evenings sorting all the bits into similar lots and bagging them up. It took some time to do it but so worth it in the end. I can quickly find things now and don't have to fuss because there are 17 parts trees all bound together and refusing to come apart!
@@AddamsPlayground that’s what I did to! 😂 boring job but worth it . I must have a million servo savers 😂
@@rc-dom-uk Oh yeah, I have a million servo horns I will never need also! LOL
Looking good buddy wish mine looked like that😂 great to see a portion of ur collection 😁👍
It has taken a good bit of time to get my stuff together and get this organized! I lived out of rummaging around in cardboard boxes and stuff for quite a while until it became next to impossible to find anything! I started getting those bins and got 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! They do make a big difference to be able to track of where things get put! I would like to make a video of the collection but that gonna take some time! Take care bud!
Looking good so far I really like the way you have everything now and sorry for not changing with you been going through some very difficult times right now
Hey there Fred! Thanks, it has taken quite a while for me to figure out a good system that works for me! I am very sorry to hear you have been dealing with stuff, I hope whatever it is you get through it quickly! Take care buddy and stay in touch!

Love seeing how other people organize there "stuff". Enjoyed the tour. Where is the gift shop? 😄
Thanks, it has taken some time to figure out what works well for me. The wife is in charge of the gift shop! It is not that great, mostly just lists of house and yard work in there!! LOL!
Hi Addam, wish I had a model building room, I have to make do with the dining room table. I've recently put a deposit down on the re re Wild One, not the Blockhead. I've been told it should be available July/August.
Oh I have spent many nights working from the kitchen table and storing stuff in closets and under the bed. I am very blessed to have the space and ability to all this for sure! I will be ordering one as soon as I see them up for sale. I have the BHM version but I do love the original look of it!
Awesome video mate 👌 I'm desperate to get my RC stuff organised 😊
Glad you liked it and hopefully I may have given you some ideas that can be helpful for you. It takes some time to get it all done for sure, don't think this was a weekend project! I started getting those bins and at first it was 3 or 4 and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them!
Addam your organisation makes me feel chaotic 😂 Man that is awesome. Do you ever wonder if you could build your own hybrid RC just from spares you will never use? Like friction shocks and old crusty drive trains 🤔
I had to do something, I was getting buried in spare parts tree bits and random other things! I was spending more time looking for stuff and where I put it then I was on builds! The drivetrain buts are the only real thing I am missing, not too many spares of that stuff but I am sure I could cobble together a full build or two with all the stuff I have out there! I am pretty sure I could easily build a hopper style car with the spare parts!
@@AddamsPlayground Addam Custom build…. I think that would be pretty cool man 😎
Lol it's a constant battle my stuff is a mess
I get super angry when I cannot find things I know I have. It still happens from time to time but it was always happening before I started getting all this stuff straight. It is a least two year of figuring out a system and getting to this point.
Who is this Addam imposter??? 😂 awesome collection mate, I think you have the most I’ve ever seen lol
LOL! Right!! This guy is way too together to be me! I had to do something, there was just too much stuff boxed up in a few spots, I was spending more time looking for something I had put away than anything else. It has taken me at least 2 years to become this organized and it does help a lot. Those bins and bags have really saved me a ton of time rummaging through stuff. I know I am over 120 built cars and trucks now, might be over 130.... takes to long to count!! LOL!
My R/C hobby space is very limited so organization has become it's own hobby. Is there a better feeling than pulling a part from a well-organized bin that you otherwise would have needed to buy? 😆
I agree, knowing you have a bag of body posts from old builds and being able to find it quickly and find one to use is a great feeling. I hated knowing I had a piece I needed and then spending 2 hours rummaging through boxes of parts trees to still not find it. I'd order a new one and then find the one I was looking for two weeks later while looking for another thing!!
I am doing something similar to this.
It really does help make things much easier to find. I hate knowing I have something but not being able to find it when I need it. I started with 3 or 4 of the bins and then 5 or 6 more and now I think I have about 30 of them! The small and large parts bags make it easier to group like things together also. Good luck with the cleanup process!
Thanks for sharing this!i have so much trouble keeping organized so this is an inspiration for me to get my stuff in order 😂
Question: what do you do with the kit boxes?
I am glad it could be helpful! I hate looking for stuff I know I have but can't find, this has helped me a lot! The kit boxes I cut the tops off of and some of the cool side panels and keep them. I have the walls of my garage wallpapered with them! I have one big section done and another big section I can fill up too with all of them.
I definitely need to get some storage bins for my hardware too. It's on my long list of things to do. By the way I have something you might be interested in. Send me an email...watch one of my videos, I always post my email somewhere close to the start of the video...or a few minutes in. RUclips doesn't allow me to put it in the comments.
I had to get organized, I was spending more time looking for things than I did on the building! It has taken me a while to find what works but I love the storage bins and the small parts bags. I have all my old parts tree parts separated into small bags of like parts so if I need a body post for something I can put my hands on a bag of them in a minute instead of rummaging through things for an hour or more!
Ig to your email and will reply. I did not get alerted to your comment at all, I had to come looking for it. thank you and I will respond to the email right away!
I cant believe how much paint you have
Its organized chaos
Some of them are half cans and other are extras as I usually buy two of a color when I need it in case one is not enough but one is usually more than enough so I end up with a wall of paint. It is nice as many times i can just grab one off the wall and not have to run out to the hobby shop to get a can. I have a bad problem of bringing home additional RCs when I go in for paint! LOL!!
That describes the entire hobby for me, organized chaos! It is twice as bad down there now, twice as many storage bins full of stuff and project cars! At least it is not just pure chaos LOL!
Thats a great organised set up, if you empty all them box’s into a few cardboard box’s thats my set up 😂
That was where I was but I spent so much time rummaging through a couple boxes of things I started getting some of those bins and it has grown to about 30 of them now! Soon I'll be cussing because I can't find which bin I put things in!! LOL!
@@AddamsPlayground 😂 yeah, im gonna have a big sort out of parts. Get rid of what i dont need and try and sort out what i need into a decent arrangment !!!!! Watch this space lol
I know who to contact if I needs some spare parts 👍
LOL! I do keep a few things on hand! Any time you need something stop by and see if I have one, you're welcome to it. The drive might be a bit of a long one though! LOL!!
