Looking for modeler that have been familiar with these.

Size wanted would be for chaos warrior / orc warrior / size bases 5x4 rank ish.

*must be well built and sturdy dont want it broken already when it arrives
*the sides must be high enough so models wont slide off all the time
*bottom must be flat when placed on table ><
*sides might want to be reinforced so tray wont bend or break when picked up
with minis still on it.

Modeler is required to provide 1 sample tray or photo of prototype
and we can discuss prices for multiple trays.

Thats all i can think of for now xD

There are also the GW ones and Litko (though assembly is required and
they provide slow service and a fit that is sometimes too snug.

I have a friend who does a lot of of wood working for a living and I know he'd be more than able to do everything you're asking. I just linked him the thread in an email, hopefully he'll get back to you soon =)

Thanks guys!

Just worried alittle about wood though.

What are thin woods like compared to plasticards?

He could answer your questions much better than I, and he's taught me about woods that I didn't even know existed. So I have no doubt there's some wood or technique out there that would do the job, and I will no doubt soon hear about it ;-) That being said he works with plastics and such too, so if you weren't interested in wood trays he could do it with another material.

On a side note my dwarves could do with some trays that actually look nice, I may have to bother him about trays too...

Hello. I'm Neconolis' friend.

Anyway, while I normally do round stuff (pens, bowls, bottlestoppers), I also do picture frames, which is similar in concept.

Plastic vs. wood: When looking for pictures to be sure I had the right idea, I found a place that does it in plywood. Shouldn't be a problem: I have some 1/8 birch plywood in stock already, and could get some thinner, depending on what you wanted. Plywood should provide sufficient strength for this application. However, plastic wouldn't be a problem, either. Same procedure to make - just extra effort to make it stay transparent, if you wanted acrylic/polycarb.

Basically, custom ones wouldn't be a problem. I could even do some rare woods, if you wanted your command squad with an ebony tray or something.

For curiosity's sake, what did you finally end up doing for trays Luna?

**LunaHound**

Nothing atm D: Not sure whats going on lol.

Try Litko. I hear they have 'Industrial Tower' and 'Space Corridor' systems.
