• I use Flambeau Tuff Tainer Model 5004 storage boxes, for which I bought a big bunch of extra Zerust divider tabs.  (The dividers supposedly emit a rust-proofing vapour, which is handy if you use your tackle boxes to store fishing gear but which is irrelevant when your boxes are full of plastic sculpts.  At any rate, they’re blue and they look nice, so I like them anyway.)


  • You can also just make your own out of thin cardboard too. Â The layout and overall design will vary depending on both which game you are building them for and the piece assortment. Â If you put some Quality time into them you can end up with a product that will last for many years. Â Here are some examples from A&A revised I did years ago and they’re still in A1 shape:

    The Europe/Pacific boxes were a little more of a challenge and required a tiered approach:

    Well, how do I post pictures??? �  It says that I can’t post links to photobucket.

    Hey Pacific War,
    You won’t be able to post pictures unitl you have a certain number of posts. (I had the same problem when I first started on the forum) I think after you have 20 posts or so it will let you post pictures and links and such. I believe it’s a way to keep some spammers from putting erroneous links in the forum.

    I use the Plano model 2-3750 containers for my pieces and they work great. I did have a slight problem with my FMG Italian set because they have 2 types of infantry and 2 types of tanks, plus the extra units that OOB doesn’t have; commanders, transport planes and trucks. Right now my Italian carriers and battleships have to share a compartment, but it’s still cool. Here’s my American container.

    I’ve been using Ozimeks since pacific 40 came out and they are still in great shape. This is high praise as I buy the cheapest printer paper you can get. Perfect design. They have 6 compartments and I break them up thus:
    1-inf and mech
    2-art and tanks
    3-planes
    4-Capitol ships
    5-rest of navy
    6-roundels


  • I posted the boxes over at Boardgamegeek.  If you look under both the Revised edition (3 pictures) and the original Europe edition (4 pictures) under recent images, you should find them readily.

    Very nice. I like those. Well done.


  • Okiedokie…here are the pictures.  Thanks for setting me up to insert links guys!

    Revised:

    And Europe:


  • Looks good.  And I like the nice, orderly formation of German tanks in the last picture – obviously a well-trained Panzer brigade.


  • @coachofmany:

    I am working on some labels for plastic cases. I should have them finished in two weeks.

    any update on these Coach, i understand you have alot going on but i would buy these off of you as well as all the other great items you have been producing!

    Yes, the project did get sidelined for a while. But now Coach is almost done with them. Look for them soon on HBG!


  • Is this still a thing?
