Storage Solution Engaged!
So my experimenting and exploring with different storage solutions came to a head. I’ve got six Really Useful Boxes lined with Steel paper and had ordered a large number of Litko Heavy Duty Base Bottoms ordered. My test models had worked out wonderfully so I was eager to get started on this solution. Unfortunately the magnets were delayed in the mail. When they did arrive I was delighted but immediately realized I had added five pounds of weight to the collection of minis. Still, that is far less than sheet steel and bigger magnets would have added.
I began by emptying the storage boxes the minis were in, one at a time, and adding Base Bottoms to each figure. MCP bases come in three sizes; 35mm, 50mm , and 65mm. The first two sizes have base bottoms that are the exact size but Litko doesn’t make a 65mm circle yet so I went for a larger size shape and planned to cut them down. It turns out it was cheaper to order an octagon rather than the next size circle.
After I had finished with all the magnets and filling bins I washed up (working with magnets is dirty work) and emptied them again. I then spent an hour organizing them by Affiliation. OCD is a terrible thing but can be used for Good instead of Evil, like joining the X-Men instead of the Brotherhood.
