Really Useful box conversion kits

(1/3) > >>

Chris Abbey:
A couple of weeks ago, a customer who was running out of space in his hobby room, asked us if we could design something to double the amount that could be stored in his 'Really Useful Boxes'. This is what we came up with:



These conversion kits allow two layers of figures to be stored safely and securely, each layer also being easy to lift out. This MDF kit is very easy to assemble and only needs some wood glue.

The space inside a conversion kit allows for two inserts to sit snugly side by side on both the top and bottom layer. The idea behind this is that you can have two different inserts per layer. The height of each layer is 70mm.
It is designed to fit inside a 9 litre Really Useful Box.



At the moment we have listed an insert for storing figures based on 25mm round bases. Each insert has slots for 36 miniatures, so a converted Really Useful Box with 4 inserts inside it would have slots for 144 miniatures.



We have a lot more inserts designed and are happy to make any of the 40+ storage inserts that are currently available for our Warchest Figure Storage range to fit these boxes. These inserts include round, square, oval, hexagonal slots in every size imaginable together with special inserts to suit X-Wing, Star Trek Attack Wing, Wings of Glory, Sails of Glory and many other games and of course if we have not got an insert available that suits your needs, we are always willing to design one and add it to the range.

Pretty tempted by these, assuming the ones they sell over here in the states are the same brand/dimensions as those in the UK.

Elbows:
Yeah, they should be - you can order direct from them.  I have a bunch for my dwarven forge stuff (the only boxes strong enough to handle all that resin).

I have one of the "official" plastic trays, but I have to admit, these look very promising and more flexible.

Is there some way to make it not completely enclosed? The great thing about transparent boxes is that you can see what's inside :D Possibly a cutout in the side, or even just a base and  corner supports would be really useful (sorry, couldn't resist ;D)

It would obviously depend on the weight of the items above, but plastic shouldn't cause any problems - and you could always add a plug in center block for aditional support.

Chris Abbey:
Cut-out so you can see inside is a great idea.
I will get that done later in week.
We will also be making any of the 40+ Warchest inserts that cover just about every base size ever used available for customers to order. You can use 4 different inserts in one box, which is great if you have an army with mixed base sizes.
