Not fun with flags but help with housing
We have just marched into the Duchy of Tradgardland and have set up camp on this plain.
The elephants are getting fidgety and the pikemen too, we need somewhere to live . Can you please recommend some good housing, sorry storage , for 15mm figures. The last time the Duke housed an army of 15mm figures was way back then and involved a flimsy plastic tool box. Please , please spare us such a fate ! Thanks in anticipation The Fifteen Fellows.
I have some for 28mm figures. Their see though nature is much more convenient than the loads of card box. Files l have been using for ages. Alan Tradgardland
You really can't beat the box Mike recommends. The price can vary but an Amazon 4-pack is hard to beat. There are cheaper, poorer equivalents but Really Useful boxes are the best. If you have a local Hobbytime or similar shop you can perhaps get one there. The size [A4] is marked both by a small round sticker on the end but it is also presses into the plastic. These boxes stack securely on top of each other which is good for space and safety. Stephen
It is these l have. As l said with 28s in them. I will try the 15mm in them over the weekend but was , in my mind looking forward something a little less tall, which is probably unrealistic as I have raised pike men in profusion and some elephants. Alan Tradgardland
I have some of these, though not with 15mm figures in (they do fit 28mm infantry though). Came from B&M, which you may have locally. They are marked by capacity. The A4 one is 4 litres.
The really useful box range available on amazon. I buy the A4 size I think it is. Comes in a pack of Four but you can buy them individually.
ReplyDelete+1 on that suggestion.. stackable and you can see the contents without removing the lid..
