Currently building the large Batman tumbler, not the biggest fan of them films but it's a big set and I got it pretty cheap.

What does everyone do when building larger sets to keep things organised?

Santa is bringing us some new ones for Christmas!

We use the dining table generally and need to tidy away each night but then it takes 30 mins + to re organise the parts that we have shoved back in a bag the next day. I’m wondering if some sort of container with compartments would be good?

I have several smaller/medium containers to store things in. I open all bags, then sort it by color, and if to much of one color, then split that in sizes. When I did Big Ben, I had at start like 10+ containers.
 
I started looking at some lego the other day, is it me or is the vast majority of Technics now just cars? There doesn't seem much of a range anymore, when did all the bespoke parts creep in as well.

I just build bag by bag, most sets these days only have at most 100 parts per bag, if that.

The last one I did was under 2000 parts spread across 26 bags or something daft like that.

I use a few plastic tubs to put the parts in, open a bag and then organise the parts in as many tubs as needed. With the smallest one for all the little pieces. Makes it easy to put away/stack until next day or whatever.

I use plastic take away containers to separate the bags and peice type but I'm thinking of getting some silicone trays as the plastic on plastic noise can be quite annoying.

A few plastic containers and just empty each bag in order.

I put my technics in those compartment boxes. You can pick them up pretty cheap.

They're very useful if you have a lot of small parts and MASSIVE OCD.

Decided that it was time to try and actually inventory my Lego sets. I have 50 Star Wars sets alone. :eek:
I'm dreading getting to the minifigures as I have hundreds.
 
Well got the bulldozer city set for my bday last week as I didn't know what else I wanted needed and love all things construction/engineering..then bought the excavator for my Christmas present of my daughter, hopefully as good as the dozer as it's brilliant!

My wife looks at me funny when she sees me playing with the dozer in the living room haha.
 
Tux cat (1710 pcs) took about 4 hours, including the real cat deciding to inhabit the box where the pieces were sitting for about 20 mins.
