Most of you have already seen my homemade HeroQuest box:

The box, closed and opened, with the HQ logo burned into the lid. I used a print and carbon paper to trace the lines. Then burned the lines into the wood.

156 157 158
The bottom has felt pads to avoid sratches. The chain holding the lid fits nidely besides the inlay box. The small ridges in the bottom serve to support the inlay box.

159 160 161
There's room for all my HQ, D&D and Dragon Strike stuff on the bottom, and I've made the spacers so they can fit the D&D boards as well. My Questbook is printed on A4 paper, and has all the official HQ questbooks from this website, plus the 4 magazine quests, and some extra quests too. Printed single sided, so if I printed double-sided, I could have fitted in more quests.

The inlay has plenty of room for all my HQ mini's (most are being painted atm), my D&D mini's, my DS mini's, and probably some of my Mantic mini's as well. :D

I love the result!


I've just finished this little project to keep my minis safe into place without sliding around.

Yeah, awesome!
Now paint these carrion crawlers already! Wanna see what you do with those. I suggest a carrion color scheme, not that D&D art slimy green.
Cool box, did I mention that?

Those are ghosts, but I do have the carrion crawlers. I'm gonna paint one the classic slimy light green though, the other one a sickly yellow/grey I think. Sluglike.

Thanks for the kind words :D Can't wait to show it off at my next game session.

Do they stay in place even if you accidentally tilt the box?

Absolutely. I can almost hold the tray 90 degrees, but the heavier minis start falling :P 45 degrees no problem! bumping the boc, also no problem. I've stuck the foam tape on snugly so the bases just fit.
