Show us your bling!

One's a GW hard case, one's a Battle Foam, one's a Army Painter, and the last is a shoe box

Sadly, my cases are pretty much unadorned.
My old cases on the left. A GW case and an old camera/tool box that came with pluck foam.
On the right is my KR Kaiser 3, and a spare KRU I bought at the same time.


Later, when KR introduced their new 1.5 sized cases and ran a BOGO sale, I picked up a pair and some more foam.


Bling, in the form you are probably looking for, I keep on my coat:


Somewhere I have what should be enough patches to make a colonial marine uniform based on the sulacu. Might put them on my KR instead.

No bling for me. Just alot of gun cases.

I think I'm up to 8 of these:

Pretty simple. I got the cases from OfficeMax and the pluck foam from Foam Factory. All in all the three cases cost me probably like $65 and it fits my entire army.


The foam is put together with hot glue, which holds it damn well. I like that I can pluck it to fit specific shapes. Look how snug my blitza-bommer is.

I also got a neat strap to hold two of them together. Since they're stackable, it's perfectly stable.

I'm going to paint them with neat designed eventually, but I'm more focused on painting my actual army first.

Edit: Goddam I didn't realize my phone took such huge fething pictures. Do we have a way to scale these down?

Edit2: Nevermind, I just resized them in gimp.

This case holds all my infinity in current use (my aleph vedic languishes on the shelf for the moment).

PanO, Nomads, , QK, Japanese sectorial army and all 11 TAGs.



It's an aluminium toolcase that holds 1 2" tray + 3 1" trays on top of that. Slightly larger than a GW standard case.

The rest of my collection is in the shed of shame in archive boxes as they don't get a lot of use.

I forgot to add that I've also recently been doing alot with second hand foam trays and various repurposed storage containers. I use variety of containers, but I've found that old-style Video equipment bags are super sturdy, appropriately sized and quite cheap at second hand shops. They also have a pretty cool vintage look to them.

These two bags are my favorites, cost me about 4 bucks each and they're as strong or stronger than any soft sided minis case I've ever seen.

They have an exterior bag and removable interior structure.

Rubber sides and bottom.

Trays fit in nicely. The soft insides does mean that the trays don't slide out quite as easily as a sabol or other bag, but it also means they don't slide around or shift in transport.

Used minis trays usually go for a buck or two at conventions or FLGS auctions. All you need is to move the foam around and then use a hot glue gun to reposition. I also keep a bag of foam bits I've removed from trays in case a give tray has less foam intact than I need.
These two cases fit my entire KoW Army and I've got less than $20 invested!

My wife made mine for me.
