Since I'm not a fan of carry cases with foam trays, I had a go at making a magnetised one. I found a suitably sized MDF coffer at a hobby store, and picked up some 0.6 cm thick balsa and strips of red and black felt along with it. This is what I ended up with:
 |
| The case with its contents. And my favourite pipe. |
The inside is divided into two major compartments- a slightly bigger one for the miniatures, and another one to hold all the gaming accessories- the playing cards, stat cards, rulebook, soulstones, etc. The latter is divided further into quarters. The former has a thin metal plate on the bottom and a metal strip on one of the sides; it's for the magnetised bases to stick to.
 |
| The tied up rulebook holds in place the small accessories in the compartments underneath it. |
I made the dividers out of balsa, and most of the inside is covered in red felt. There's a weathered painting in there, too. I played around a bit with acryllics and crackle medium. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Looks very steampunk with a dose of horror - perfect for Malifaux. I bet it makes an impression on your opponents when they see it!
ReplyDeleteI tremble with fear just gazing upon it!
ReplyDeletewhat magic is it to make the models stand inside :shock:
great job!
I discovered your blog through a comment you left on Spiky Rat Pack.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say, so far I'm loving everything about it.
The look of your blog is great, the soundtrack also.
But most of all I really like the miniatures you have displayed here, the carry/display case is fantastic too.
Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more of your darkly beautiful creations.
Thank you all!
