I have the top up, parked under a tree, windows open... but, it's gonna be 98 degrees today.. I'm kinda worried, remember the good ole days when I was a kid and the heat from a hot car would warp records and tapes so you couldn't play em anymore.

just wondering, anyone ever have a really bad heat wave mess up your models?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/308379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/308379.page GMT
I've since, at a minimum get them out of direct sunlight (IE trunk). You should be ok with what you describe (assuming they stay out of direct sunlight)

By mid 90's, you mean "after october 2001", since that is when the Tau first came out?

I doubt there are any thieves out there breaking into cars and taking miniatures, but I like to keep them out of sight anyhow because I think it is quite possible someone might steal them thinking it was a pistol case.

It stays around the 90's F/ 30's C pretty much all summer around here it seems, so I don't like to keep painted miniatures in the car. I have never had a miniature melt, nor heard of such, but I did keep my old IG army in the car, and over time either the paint or varnish yellowed. I don't know if it was related to the heat, but I havent had the same thing occur with my Eldar, which I make a point of taking out of the vehicle.

It just isnt that much trouble for me to take them out, and I can't imagine heat, and surely not direct sunlight, could be good for the models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/308574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/308574.page GMT
Even in the UK, it gets hot enough to kill a dog or small child.

That's what I though, but it was weird reading it the first time!

Nothing warped or melted or anything. Not gonna risk that again though.

Kind of a pain though, the only way I can get a game in after work is to go right after work, if I stop at home first it'll be like 8pm before I get anywhere for a game :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/309072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/309072.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310170.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310176.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212875/310196.page GMT

my guard vs his plague marines, lots of cover for him to get cover saves from just about everything I took to kill his armor saves :( I softened him up real good but as soon as he got in assault range it was over, and of course he could sweep into each unit after wiping out one.. at least that won't happen again with the new rules

Now there is some thinking outside of the box.

Getting a big cooler, filling the bottom with ice and packing the mini cases on top of the ice should indeed mitigate the risks of heat.
