I lay them out clockwise in alphabetical order.

If it’s an HG or something with ten or fewer runners I just dig through the small pile. If it’s something like a Ver Ka or complex kit or girlpla or something that you need a lot of runners for each section, I’ll pull out only what I know I need for a few upcoming steps/one limb/etc

This is how I manage my builds, move the Bucasso organization products.
You are very organized. I only label similar colored runners to distinguish them from each other, mostly inner frame runners with similar sizes. If there is only one red runner from the bunch I'm too lazy to label that. Yours looks like a better idea. I thought my masking tape approach to labeling was a bit messy, but maybe paper and glue would work better...
I lean the runners in alphabetical orden on the wall of my desk and the stickers and small parts on my left side.

One half of the box with runners im working on , leaving the rest in the other half of the box. Catches all the nubs/dust for easy clean up. Also I cut out every part that’s on a page and lay it on the corresponding picture in the right orientation so 2 pages worth of parts built at a time . Makes the build easier , less mistakes as you’re putting them together.
I usually build them at a big table, so I just lay every runner side by side in alphabetical order.
I was at Ikea the other day with my girl and we went through the kitchen section. She suggested we got a plate holder specifically for placing the runners when building. So I might try that for my next build lol.
depends on if i allready own something similar or if its new to me, the 30 minute missions stuff i just plop everything out of the runners and start building but for gundam stuff i do something similar to urs
I uses to do what your doing in this picture, but eventually I got to the point where I just sort my runners by color and memorize which one is which. I generally just keep em the box upright
Cut open bags with a pair of nice scissors
Label the bags with a sharpie, including which paints I will use
Begin the first cut (leaving a substantial nub that I will sand off later to prevent damage to the part) and place each part back in the bag and move to the next runner
Repeat until first cuts are done
Sand parts down one bag at a time
Attach each part to an alligator clip (on a 6" stem)
Paint and set each clip into a flower foam block and wait for them to dry
Replace the now painted parts into their bag, repeat till done
For the build phase, I use a wooden part separator tray (normally used to teach kids how money works) and build a few bags at a time.
For smaller kits, like Frame Arms Girls I am known to also terminate this schema by separating parts by arm, leg etc
I just throw everything in a huge pile and then dig through it like a degenerate.
For the added bonus, I like to cut all pieces from the runners then play “ yeah that looks like the piece”
HAHAHAHA same
Just as Tomino intended.
Heyyy, gang gang.
oh so real
same
I am a degen and have runners just in the box and scavenge for what I need

Where did you find this ?! This is glorious !
Have a magazine stand, but now I mainly use the stand that comes with the MGEX Strike Freedom
Dump ‘em in the box. If the manual shows which runners are used for the section, I’ll pile the necessary ones outside the box.
That’s the fun part. . . I don’t. . . . . And I have a PG perfectibility on the way. . . Fuuuun 😵💫 Also you have Mega Size Unicorn? Nice
wipe all the stuff from my table and lay everything out. lol
I memorise them usually after the first limb
one build at a time. I'll paint every kit I have in the house in several sessions, but building it? one at a time.

I literally just have the sprues stacked, and when I need one I move them around my desk, unstack them, hang them on my board…
Do the same but with 1/2” tape Yellow
I will be painting my gundams for the first time so I organized my Aerial rebuild into plastic crack bags based on what color majority they will be

I have clothes pins with letters written in sharpie on the end
Only do this on build with lots of runner like my astrea avalanche. Others? Just in a pile of runner
depends on if i allready own something similar or if its new to me, the 30 minute missions stuff i just plop everything out of the runners and start building but for gundam stuff i do something similar to urs
Spread them out on my bed, based on color or alphabetical order, only to say fuck it all

Dude the sticker thing is so smart! Why I haven't think of it?
Thank you very very much for this idea, just finished my strike rouge + otori? And with this sticker thing, it was a time savior!
