So, fellow mechwarriors, what are you doing to store your mechs safely? I recently backed the mercenaries kickstarter, and I anticipate having dozens of mechs to store nicely. Right now I have them jammed into a plano box, but it’s going to get small fast. Has anyone found a better, erm, dropship?

    I was able to get a ton of foam blocks from a local furniture store. I cut out squares from that, got a large suitcase, glued in the foam and covered it with stickers. It has worked great for the past 6 months to and from the local hobby shop on game nights.

    My job started throwing away all the assisted listening devices in our office, so I grabbed them all. Now I have three cases I just have to fit two more of them with pick and pluck foam for my ever expanding collection. Unrelated, but does anyone need any assisted listening receivers?

      I’m glad you started it! I need to figure out how to post pics of my little Merc company.

    Still using a cigar box with some foam strips for dividers. Will probably switch to a Plano case or similar in a bit.

    I use a Plano box for going to games, with a set of stackable DeWalt organizer cases for storage and hauling larger groups around.

    That said, I still have a ton of stuff in their original boxes or on the paint desk, so I haven’t officially confirmed that I’ll be able to fit all my Kickstarter stuff into this solution -_-;

      I’ve seen those dewalt ones.

      Honestly what I would love is if someone would make something exactly like that, but not butt ugly so that I could leave it on my desk and my wife wouldn’t complain.
