I was perusing Armorcast's web site when I found this:

http://armorcast.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=1048

Read the description. It is a zombie set that comes in a padded VHS case designed to resemble a B rated horror movie. That got me thinking: I have a ton of old VHS tapes that are worthless now, so what if I took out the tapes and made custom foam trays to line them with? Then Put labels on them with the contents listed on the spine. I could store a whole lot of miniatures safely this way! What do you guys think, worth trying?

I've seen/heard of this before (Wee Toy Soldiers, maybe?). Probably a great solution for smaller scale stuff (15mm or smaller--probably would be fantastic Battletech storage).

You don't think it would fit a 40k mini on its side?

If you wanna carry around 1 million cases then sure (ork and IG players).. but i guess you collect Grey Knights.. so would probly be perfect.. except for the really big models..

For us SM players it might work. I guess I'll have to dig out an old case and see just how many infantry models will fit in one after lining it with foam and a tray.
