Leon not only came up with a great idea in response to my plea for a solution to help keep track of hit count dice, but was kind enough to let me show off the prototype on my blog.

Excellent ! ....Very neat and effective.
Top marks that man.
Cheers - Phil.
Snuggness would depend on the size of the dice, I would think. Mine are like Heinz - of fifty-seven varieties. :D
Neat idea, and I like the dice catapult design as well ;)
Now that is a great idea. Might have to be done... 8)
Idea liked, and stolen :o
;D
I HATE dice on table as casualty markers. All that effort on figures and terrain only to have random dice floating about. Use markers, or a nice tray idea like this. I'm a happy puppy now.
At first I though these were really big - but its because the photos are close ups. I've done a casualty figure and a green-stuff dice holder on a 1p coin, but that is 20mm in diameter, and you have done these on 15x20mm bases, which are a good bit smaller.
I really like these, and Lentulus has been really helpful with the pics and feedback. I've got some web pics done, so these will be added to the Minibits site tonight hopefully!

You're not supposed to steal it, you're supposed to say 'Leon, can I buy some of these handy items from your webstore...'! :D
But I've already put an order in to MINIBITS lastnight! Before they were up for sale :'(
Can you put a pack on my order? I can pay you today.
You were rather fast on the tease to sale ratio on these ;D
I haven't got around to it yet, but I plan to usie pennies with putty basing material and a space for the dice.
Cheers

I was planning to bodge something like this myself someday now I don't have to. Will be including some of these in my next order.
Great idea! I like this nice solution. No more cardboard counters stacks and rolling dice.
<:-P <:-P <:-P
Just about to order some ACW (Payday beckons), These are going on it. Have one base per unit with this to count up casualties (TCHAE), but remember to remove a non holder base!. Also need some for WW2 (IABSM), Hmmmmm, looks like rebase time coming up.
I've been making these markers myself using balsa wood to build little boxes on top of mdf bases. But I'll be buying a few of these, it will just make life so much easier.

Can we please have some more sizes? Snug fit if possible.

No bother, let me know which code you want, and I can either pop them in the post, or add them to your next Pendraken order?

I can do them in other sizes, no bother at all, you were after 10mm? I'd have to buy in some 10mm dice to sell with them though.
