also you will need a lot of 3mm foam trays, since a millimeter is almost nothing...an average FW mini is 3.5-4cm tall, so well over ten of those sheets...

I believe he's talking about using it as the bottom of the tray, possibly double layered. Not as the whole tray.

That makes SO MUCH more sense...

Yeah, haha. Especially when you get into vehicle trays and whatnot.

But...at least you could make different color patterns, I guess?

Anyways, that's a daunting amount of work...

Old but awesome and not really all that much work

Actually, there's three Walmarts in my area and they all have the same 10$ cases. Concerning of tools, this really is a non-issue since the tools are easy to get at a very reasonable price IF we don't already have them. Compared to the standard miniature cases you're saving a bundle

Looks pretty good, I may have to try this.

nice thread, The old ones are normally the good ones.
May i just add, that i have been doing a similar thing with much succes in the UK with Drill cases from ebay.

I'd love to see pictures of your drill case miniature transport.

If you want to see a slightly cheaper and updated version of this case check out this:

This is great! I have detested laying my figures on their side for ages. A vertical orientation is highly preferable.

That is brilliant. Must try this for myself.

Thanks for the help

Amazing idea!

Am I the only one scared by the fact there's a 'firearm section' at a regular store?

Good post anyway, but I don't think Woolies or Coles would exactly be allowed to sell that kind of stuff.
