The Spares Box 3 : The Decals Box

 I have noticed that with everyone's spares box postings that an important part of the spares factor has been missed.
 Of course I am talking about the decals box. I never throw a any spare decals away, they are pure gold when you need them.
I use a shoe box, however I would like to bring into service a photo album type of system so my exploration adventures are shortened.

Model on!

  1. A photo album type thing would be a good idea, to keep dirt and moisture away from them while in storage. I just keep mine in a re-sealable plastic folder type thingy, does the job too.

  6. Have you though about using stamp collectors 'stock-books'? They have little cellophane strips stretched across the page to hold stamps in, you could place even a big sheet of transfers in one of the lower strips on the page with smaller pieces higher-up, arranged thematically like er...stamps!

  7. !!!! What!! ? how the!!? There must be tons there..enough to wallpaper a sitting room!! A stamp album is better than a photo album..the plastic sheeting in a photoalbum can yellow the decals well quick and it´s easier to get them out as well.
    Cheers
