I just have a large grip lock bag that holds mine, might be time to transfer into the little storage draws I've been given, but 75mm and 80mm won't fit in...
And possibly the 50mms too!

I've a plastic box with bases neatly stacked. At least that's the theory...

In actuality I have bases mixed everywhere and anywhere and NEVER THE SIZE I NEED!

The storage box will soon be inadequate once the 100mm hexes arrive. Going to need to go shopping for a new solution.

I have a large jiffy bag - probably from Pendraken - that have all my various bases in. Inside that they tend to be in the smaller plastic bags they come in - but they quite often fall out. And its a bit of a pain to find stuff without digging through the whole bag - but it seems to work.

I do have a load of plastic bases in a really useful box divider tray - but despite them being better organised they turn out to be less convenient to use.

So yesterday saw me veering off the 10mm path to start on my Aeronef British fleet. However today sees the delivery of some 10mm MDF houses from Wargame Model Mods and some 10mm resin sci-fi buildings from Brigade Models, so now I'm torn on what to work on. And then there's the WWI Turks that I finally decided on a platoon structure and uniform colour for that I might just start on. Decisions, decisions...

One of my gaming buddies went with the Ottomans. Looks like we are going to be doing non-canon stuff over Egypt and surrounding areas.

Just tried painting some of the windows on one of the Aeronef models, what a complete disaster! The rest will remain the base colour with maybe a little wash to pick out the detail. Not trying that again!

I used cornflower blue, black wash, white highlights.

Robin Cotton of Grunts fame is launching his Aeronef Imperial Skies shortly
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Am watching that with interest. Robin is a friend.

After yesterday's setback, have now got the first three ships done, or as done as the are going to be. As with most of my stuff going for the weather worn look rather than pristine.



Now I just need to figure out how to attach the little magnets to the miniatures and the stands...

Use  washer on one, magnet on the other....otherwise polarity will be wrong in many cases and they will reject each other.
