Storage/Carrying Case

Beernut has a rather large Tackle Box.




He got me to use one for much more damageable Sn-Pb alloy minis:

My Orc Drawer is rather infamous among my players and family.
It's a drawer full of Orcs. The quest map shows me an orc, I reach into it and apply what you see is what you get stats.
That orc has a shield? +1 Defend. A halberd? Diagonal attack. A Black Orc with two hand weapons? Two attacks, 3 AD each.

Players hate and love the Orc Drawer. Family hate it.

I GOTTA see a pic of the Orc drawer!

PS...anybody know where those more detailed mystery-zombies are from?

I'm going to make a carrying system for my minis by modifying http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-stackable-wooden-storage-box/ and gluing the metal from filing cabinets I took apart with an angle grinder to provide the magnetic surface for my minis to magnetize to. Not sure about the sizing. Have toyed with the idea of one 'level' for each type of monster but would probably do one large level or 2 stacked levels depending on how big an area I'd need for all my minis. A lot bigger if I'm going to include my Reaper Kickstarter that's for sure.

I'm a big fan of the Machinist's Chest that Whitebeard picked up awhile back: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=2782&hilit=machinist+chest

So am I

@GimmeYerGold: Mine has never left my house, just gently up and down the stairs. Have you traveled with yours? My nice painted minis in the drawers and over-sized on the top will collide with each other for sure. So I still need a foam solution inside if traveling in the car becomes a regular thing.

I do travel with my chest--the most brutal test so far was when a car traveling on my right decided to make a no-signal 90 degree left-hand turn right in front of me! I slammed the brakes and managed to avoid a collision--the Quest Chest (as we fondly call it) was in the seat behind me, and fell forward, landing on its drawers face. Despite the jarring stop, the only casualty was a small black light bulb that was inside. We get pretty silly sometimes at our games

I don't have foam dividers, so my minis do knock around a bit. They're all single-color painted, with multiple coats, so perhaps they don't show their nicks and scratches as much as models that are artistically painted.
