Bit Box Organization

[Teetengee]

So, I do a lot of kitbashing and have noticed a bigger issue with time. In days of yore, I could largely just organize a bit box into arms, legs, heads, etc... But with the rise of more and more monopose kits, parts are often not interchangeable but can be hard to tell which parts go with each other once they're snipped from sprue. How are you all organizing your bit boxes these days?

My "bitz box" is one of the old mail order boxes (the ones with Da Trollz on them) - most things are simply in their own 4"x6" resealable plastic bag with a Post-It! note on it.

 

It's worked since the 1990's ...

I use a big box and sandwich bags. After a bit of practice I can pick out matching arms (or at least ones that will work) just by looking at the wrist positions.

For monopose torsos/legs like Intercessors, I usually glue torso/waist/legs together before they go in the bits bag.

I have a bead box with largish sections that I use, for larger projects I have a set of plastic parts drawers that can fit things as big as a land speeder.

I keep my models split up in drawer setups not unlike what frater November IX posted, with dividers in the drawers. In those drawers I keep matching parts (bodies, bolt rifle arms, things like that), together in the same subdivision.

iuse the method of cutting arms that hold weapons, with bit of sprue.

Best if they´re close together and in other cases, i glue the bit of sprues together so i don´t lose pairs.

Space marines are still largely done by heads, arms, legs etc. but everything else is now organised by army ie. Thousand Sons, Soulblight Gravelords.
