Been moving a lot of my collections into a rented storage unit since virtually every possible nook and cranny around the house - and the shed - and the side yard - and the outdoor cabinets - was overflowing with no possible place to stick anything else. Still a bit more to move out and over to the storage unit but the process gave me a lot of room to 'realign' my Old West collection and get it all on one shelf - about eight or nine feet of shelf stacked about as high as possible, say 15" or more. Well, the Old West trains are still in their old location but not too far from the rest, another cabinet on the same wall.
So now I have a stack of just buildings, another of just detail parts and scatter terrain, a stack of all the townsfolk and another of the environ folk, with a short stack of the "specials". Almost all of the wagons are now in one stack except for the wagon trains in a larger container and the army wagons and such. Then there is the just natives (Indians), and then the almost all army stack but including the buffalo, cavalry remuda (remounts), pronghorn antelope, and buffalo, and - last - the "main" folk, the 12/12/12/4 sets of mounted, foot, dead, horse to mark dismount spot sets; well, the two of these that are primed and ready for painting are over near the scatter terrain since the box they are in is a bit too large for the other area.
Maybe this will help propel progress. This collection is up near the top of my 2024 miniatures priorities.
