Subject: Unpainted Lead Storage

With the talk about unpainted lead, I thought I'd let you all take a look at
where I keep my collection that grows faster than I can paint:
http://www.star-ranger.com/SpaceshipRoom.htm

You can see that I had to build a shelf with a pegboard back to hang all of my
minis still in blisters (the top row is my UN Fleet) plus I've picked up some
drawers and parts bins to hold all the loose lead. Don't forget resin,
I've got a Vin'Grun fleet from DLD Productions on the way ;-)

I mentioned 'unpainted lead' on a Star Fleet Battles message board recently
and quickly got corrected by Steven Cole that the SFB minis are pewter, not
lead. Board gamers just don't understand the addiction to lead that miniature
gamers have.

Follow the link on the bottom of the page to see the minis I'm currently
working on along with the new basing method I'm trying - a combination
of the brass tubing method Schoon and Kevin Walker use and the barrel clasp
method I've been using.

I love it. A set of pictures I can show my wife to let her know I am not the
only one! While we were down in Puerto Rico she told me I could have the
closet of our computer room to put "my toys" in. Well when they went back to
the states and packed up that closet it took 6 "dish crate" boxes to
take all the Micro-Machines, etc.

Great Stuff, Keep it up!
