Beta Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hey there,I'm currently building a transport box for my Malifaux stuff. I put magnet in the bases of my models to stick them to a metal plate inside the box.So far so good. Since I'd like to put things like markers, meassuring tape, decks, etc. in there too, I thought of putting in two levels.The bottom level contains decks, etc. and the second level the models (the secon level will have handles to take it out).My problem now is, that the height of the box on the inside is just 13cm. For the bottom floor I need at least 3,5cm (better would be 4 to 4,5cm) leaving me with 8,5 to 9,5cm to work with.Can anybody tell me if there are any guild models (the plastic one which are out yet), that are taller than that?

solkan Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Rail Golem is 8 and a half centimeters tall from bottom of base to top of smoke stack (with stock parts and no extra base stuff), and Hoffman can take it.I think the Guardian and Peacekeeper are about the same height. Edited November 26, 2015 by solkan Original height description got muddled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Ok. So far nothing I'm planning on buying Hm Rail Golem seems like one of the tallest models out there. If that's the case I should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babayagob Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Could we have pictures once you're done?I'm thinking about doing the same thing, except I'd like to find a box that could fit into the Malifaux bag by Battlefoam and need inspiration (especially that I'm not that handy dandy).

Beta Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Sure I'll take pictures as soon as I start building it. But first I have to survive the planning phase ^^One information I already can provide is the box I use. It's an Armybox from Planet-Fantasy here in Germany.Basically it's a modified "Eurobox". They are cheap, durable and stackable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 This is the magnetized transport I built from an old GW case. I did require a bit of carpentry, but nothing advanced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babayagob Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Nice. It looks quite modular as well. Is it easy to transport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 It's a case like this http://store.wargamingtrader.com/system/files/imagecache/product_full/Z454 - GW 3-Tier Figure Carry Case 14-06-4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babayagob Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Ah yes, sturdy indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenstuff_gav Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 what magnets did you use?i'm about to do something similar and am worried about magnet strength! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I use two 1.5 x 3 mm neodymium magnets set in some plasticard for 30 mm bases, two 2 x 4 mm for 40 mm and and three 2 x 4 mm for 50 mm. The last two also have some plasticard between the setting and the base so that the magnet will be flush with the surface as magnetic fields quickly weaken over distance. This gives very strong holds to the steel trays and I think you would do fine with smaller magnets for the 40 and 50 bases but I have a large number of 2 x 4 mm from before so I'm using them. The 30 mm bases only have 1.5 mm free so if you want to use thicker magnets for them you'll have to drill them out some.I use a setting as the superglue between the magnet and the base can crack over time, but with glue on both the bottom and sides the bond will be much more resilient. When making the settings I drill the holes in a sheet of plasticard first with a powered drill and cut them out afterwards, this is a lot easier than cutting first and drilling in small pieces of plasticard.
