How do you store your figures?

[slinky]

I used to use any old small cardboard/cigar box but recently got some nice plastic boxes from staples....

The range of 'Really Useful Boxes' are handy, but the prices can get a bit expensive.  We get chinese takeaway quite often, which is an infinite source of nice plastic containers...

Didnt think of using those, plenty of them lying around the kitchen and they are stackable!

A4 Box files

I use the "thin" A4 box files that you can get from Staples.

They're great for small scale figs...

I store mine in 3 of these :

Worth the money when you have a big collection of well painted figures..

Very nice!  We see them at shows and I've always wondered if many people use them.

I'm a KR man myself.  I have about a dozen of the cardboard boxes, and one Kaiser if I have to carry them around.  Cardboard is nice, but they do suffer a bit when you use them often: the hinges get some wear.  But still a perfect system, though not cheap.

Here is the economical (cheap) way to store your figures. 

Take a 12 pack coke or beer box container and cut it open.  Measure the footprint and heigth dimensions necessary for a box to fit your target troops (brigade sized) exactly.  Measure and mark the dimensions on the coke box container.    Cut out and tape the sides together.    You now have a customized box which fits your troop dimensions exactly.  Store all the smaller boxes in larger box-like a cat food box.  Easy, costs nothing and does the job perfectly.

My figues are on steel bases so I store them in a4 box files with strips of magnetic tape along the bottom - very neat and resilient to accidents

A4 boxes - and then they get placed in the loft to be aired once or twice a year - sad init? spend nearly every evening painting then when one army is finished I start another - mad mad mad

I use old PC videogame boxes to store my 10mm miniatures in.

All mine are in 4 glass cabinets (like the ones you see in a Games Workshop store), but if I need to travel with them, I use three plastic tool boxes I bought cheaply as a matching set from a hardware shop; filled with home made compartments, matchboxes, cigar boxes, etc.

I seldom travel to games however, most my friends come here to play games, because (a) Paula is a great cook and loves to make food at the mere suggestion of a num-nums break from the ever hungry crowd , and (b) after a life time wistfully wanting one, I finally made sure we have a house with a proper games room in it.

A4 box files but I will admit I am also looking at the really useful box range at Staples!
