The idea is fairly simple and one I've seen others do before. A set of modular and customizable trays for holding figures for wargames, board games, and RPGs. I wanted it to be expandable and customizable, so I made the base layer in 6" x 3" pieces that could interlock.
The tabs sitting on top were glued into place and hold the trays when they're all combined. I started off with a set of trays for 1" bases and 1.5" bases. The 1" trays work great for Warhammer 40k figures, and the 1.5" trays work really well for Heroclix figures.
Right now, there are only two down sides to the design.
1) The tabs. They're clued on and it's a bit rough getting them placed just right. I think in "v2", I'm going to use metal pins to keep them in place. I could also use small screws... What do you think, loyal viewers?
2) The base. If I want this to stick together, the base has to be glued together. It loses it's modularity in that regard (you'd be stuck with a 6"x12" if you glued it that way), but you'd still have modularity in the upper trays. If there was a way to get them to lock into place easily...
I've also worked up trays for other 40k bases. 40mm and 60mm. What other bases sizes would you like to see?
And you can Juuust see in the background, some new deck boxes. More on those next week!
