hey guys!

I was wandering what the best way to store magnetized parts is.
Since I started magnetizing most of my weapon options I actually magnetized quite a lot models and I fear losing or damaging parts.
I applied mat varnish to all models just to make sure the weapons dont suffer when laying around.
Dont want to take any chances, so I am looking for a good way to store everything!

I too have magnetized bits like alternative weapons or backpacks. I have them on a ferro foil, but the bond is rather weak. I plan to "upgrade" to a thin metal plate or get a small gingerbread sheet metal container.

I use hard plastic card cases (left over from my CCG days) with thin slips of foam from blister packs to keep things separate.

altoids containers, the little metal ones.

I even have spaces in my foam trays for them. works great.

(altoids is a mint company brand name, they make little containers for mints, and the containers are steel).

I think I have some of those on a shelf somewhere, thinking they could be useful. Never thought of using them for magnetized bits.

Great idea!
