….make handy dandy figure cases, up to 28mm figures.
Ya do have to put down something non-sliding or bad things happen during movement. |

I have a dozen or so of these, and indeed if you just stack them on top of each other they will slide apart! I got mine from Michael's craft store, they have racks for storing them. |

And if you watch for it, they occasionally go on sale for 40% off. |

I have a dozen or so, and I picked up the 3-for-$10 last month. But, there's a better deal at Costco – 5 for $20. USD These are also good for 15mm terrain. Wyatt |

I have used similar plastic boxes. What strategies are being employed to keep figs from sliding around? Such plastic does not accept glue (even silicone) very well to adhere sheet steel, magnetic sheets or dividers. |

I use 2 sizes: about 3 inches high and about 1 inch high; all about 13 inches square. The tall one is great for 15mm and I put micro armour and other smaller scales in the short ones. They stack up great! As to keeping the contents from sliding around, I line the box with shelf liner ( link ) . I use the easy grip as opposed to the smooth surface. |

I bought seat cushion foam from the local fabric store, and line the bottom with that, cutting grooves in it to fit bases (if without grass) or using pressure between two layers of foam to hold them otherwise. To keep the cases stacked, I put two strips of Velcro tape on the tops/bottoms. |

I have self adhesive magnetic sheets in about a dozen of them and they stick just fine. I got my magnetic sheeting from Magically Megnetic. link I use the 60 mil thickness. Tom |

I just bought another one of these at Michael's for my 1/2400 ships. I used Elmers and some super glue to put a layer of tin in it. It is sticking for now, but I would recommend an epoxy for a more permanent bond. However….it is much easier to line these with adhesive magnet sheets and put metal on the bottom of your minis bases. My ships already had magnets though…. I use the small clear boxes for scrapbooking photos to store based micr armor. I line those with magnetic sheet mentioned above….great stuff. Being clear, I can see what is inside at a glance and that is a huge plus. |

In the UK I use boxes from Weston – basically designed to hold a packet of A4 paper. westonboxes.com |

Double sided sellotape sticks well to the bottom of cases like this. And 5 for $20 USD being better than 3 for $10 USD, I have this bridge for sale…. |

the plastic takes glue better if you rough it up. i use a medium grit sandpaper on a sanding block |
