Spent an hour separating parts from the sprues in labeled bags for easy access. Sprue C is a real pain. Think sprue and it was a biatch to put back in the box.

It's a habit I do halfway through the build when sprue trees have half the parts off. Figured cut them off next to their number tabs and put them in baggies by sprue trees letter. Makes it easy to.find. I'll show pics later.

This technique sounds similar to what my Dad called “sprue processing,” where everything was sorted into separate ziplock bags once the parts were clean and free of flash. Looking forward to see your technique.
Make more models!

As promised...

Sometimes I'll combine small.sprue trees with other parts by sprue letter.

Interesting.

Remember I mentioned Sprue tree C were thick just on the perimeter, not the inside trees?
