Hi All,

 

Have painted up some ships, made some asteroids (scoria on a stick works very well), and was wondering how people store and move their ships about?

 

I've considered magnetic strip (but the hex ship bases are often concave in shape) and slot trays, such as I use for my Ren figures (but starships are usually bigger than their bases and will knock against each other), and even the old stand-by of an old t-shirt in the box with the ships lying on the fabric (but then they slide about and it puts stress on the link point between the stand and the ship). 

 

So, suggestions welcomed!

 

Regards

I do use the magnit strips. I get a thin peice of metal to glue to the bottom of the hx base. This does two things for me. Usually I use a metal piece about a 1/4 inch wider ad longer the the hex base for cruiser of less in size. Some of the larger crusier and capitals I use metal plates about 1/2" to 1"

 

1. allows me to maget it in the case I put them in...

2. also allows better balance on table games where a cloth surfase causes the miniature to fall over. the metal base glue to the original hex base gives it a wider surface to sit on.
