    Holy Crap. (Looks at three boxes of Fire Warriors unopened, collecting dust) I suddenly feel ridiculously lazy.

    Are they all spaced 2" apart? Interesting to see how much board control that is.

    I work in stages:
    Unbox a complete Brood (30-85 models)
    Cut out and separate all of the parts into groups
    Trim excess and flash
    Assemble everything in stages - Assembly line style
    Lightly glue to temporary bases for painting.

    Building all of the small and medium based models before moving on to the pile of large and oval based models.
