FT Figure storage boxes (was Re: Flat top carriers)

In a similar theme for figure storage and transportation, I have
used Rubbermaid shoe boxes for hauling my fleets around.

Two view of the box design and figures.  I use 1/8" elastic tape 
woven through the bottom of the box.

I certainly like the ability to view the boxes through the sides
to find a particular figure.  I have made 14 of these boxes with 
this design.  A larger box can store 15 figures and I have two 
of those.
