The creative process

My wife is gone for the weekend so had the opportuntiy to finish up my railroad water tank that I have been working on for a while. It's not a big project but it sure created a big mess as I search for parts!

He-he... I hope you wife is not coming home early. ;)

Looks really wonderful though! For a messy process like this my solution is to have one of those round LEGO cloth bags that you can spread out parts on and then just pull it together to clean up. It won't separate the parts or neatly put them away for you, however in case you hear the key at the front door earlier then expected it takes less than a second to clean up and hide the evidence. I have an original LEGO one, but now third-party companies sell them too. :D

Do you have a link to that bag?

@TLG it's in the catalog as a Storage Cloth #789. There are also several varieties with printing on the inside, but they don't have set numbers assigned. I'm not able to find those in the Brickset database.
