Storing and Cataloging my Diecast Models

I've been trying to catalog and store my diecast collection. I like opening the packaging, so almost my entire collection is "loose". I've been using these Rubbermaid containers - each holds 12 standard size 1/64 scale cars.

I try to group the models by the real manufacturer (here, Aston Martin) or by type (sports car, pick-up, etc) depending on which characteristic I'm most interested. I tend to be fairly fluid in my cataloging.
A trio of mainline 1963 Aston Martin DB5s.

Here is a Matchbox 2009 Aston Martin DBS Volante (MB823) that was issued in 2014 as part of the regular series.
