Make your own Figure Case.

Thank you!! been looking for a great solution and you really nailed it!

What a nice friendly bloke🙏🏼💪🏼
Ive been painting since 1984(im old) and i love it, keep up the good work bro💯

Always a pleasure to watch. Informative, great voice and straight to the facts ❤🤘🏻

You are such a big help Duncan!!! Very soon I'll have my own carrying cases😊

Dear Duncan, did You have any problems with magnets falling away from the bases? I've discovered that sometimes, if the space for the magnet is a bit more than the magnets' thickness (2 mm in this case), the magnet sticks to the magnetic rubber and breaks the bond of superglue.

Right now I am facing the struggle of an American trying to find a 2mm magnet
All the sellers are off in their sizes :"

Use carpet tape. It’s cheaper and no screwing around with magnets.

another easy way to mark where to cut is to lay the longer piece on the shorter edge then use a white coloring pencil to make a guide line to cut

Just made my own one today absolutely over the moon with how cosy effective and safe this is. Bye bye foam cases!

Exellent, thank you!

Thank you Duncan, great tip!

Anyone else heavily triggered by the way he measured and cut the metallic stuff!

What's a good magnet size for the larger models?

As someone pretty new to all this, you sir have helped me with so much. Would the Void Dragon or Silent King fit in the 9L?

There is also a 24L "really useful box" that stacks with the 4L & 9L boxes. It is a lot deeper and suitable for your ridiculous "minis" like Alarielle & Nagash and tree-lords and such that are to tall for the 9L.

Two Thin Cuts.

🤭🤭🤭

Duncan is an absolute unit Everything i saw from him was so helpfull

Could you please tell me the size of the smaller box?

I love u I wanna kiss u u are gentleman of love and good

This is fine with infantry and smaller models but what about bigger vehicle models that don't have bases?

Any idea if the 9liter one is tall enough to fit a daemon primarch like mortarion?

Where can I buy a Warmaster Titan for this? I can't find any anywhere

Rubber steel sheeting is hard to find so here's an easy alternative. Galvanized steel flashing 5" x 7" (make sure it's not aluminum), then attach to the plastic box with Gorilla Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive. Because the flashing is so thin, you don't need to trim the pieces, so layer them. Because it's steel, the magnets work great.

Very well put together video, you cover everything here that i could think of, just ordered 2 boxes as a start with the sheet/magnets looking forward to trying this!

Hey Duncan I’ve just built two cases using the products you recommended, including the 5x2 magnets and they aren’t magnetising at all do you know why this may be?

For anyone who wants a good shelf to store these in, Ikea's billy is the perfect size for these, you can have two stacks next to eachother with about a quarter of an inch of space, and if you get doors for the shelf it has about 1/8th of an inch of space from touching the door
Its the perfect size for storing a bunch of these

mf said just use magnets

Great info but coming back 3 years later it really does matter which direction your magnets are facing. Over time it will start to depolarize the magnets that are opposites next to each other until the magnets will no longer be strong enough to hold to the metal sheet. His did seem a good distance away from each other in his box so that might help admittedly my models are stored closer together in the boxes.

Any tips for using this sort of case with tanks or other miniatures that don't really have bases? I am somewhat hesitant to drill into the tracks for magentization.

How are people magnetising their tanks (e.g. a rhino or predator that doesn't have a base/flying base)?

What sizes of magnets do you use for the larger based models such as gargant?

Kinda a bummer the rubber steel stuff is so expensive in australia lol. Like 10 aud a sheet.

I kept wanting him to out the long piece of the magnet sheet on top of the small scrap piece and just trace across with a pencil for his cut line so badly. Great job btw. Will have to make some of these

Hey dumb question: But If wanted to make a case for say some imperial guard tanks (i.e. Leman Russes and baneblades), what side cases would you recommend? Thanks!

I can never tell if Duncan’s videos are at 1.25x speed or if he’s just a master of speaking quickly.

It's great, I do the same thing, only difference is put the magnetic sheets inside the lid so the main box lifts off.
Then you just store the boxes upside down.
It makes it easy to access your minis safely and the really useful boxes still stack brilliantly.

Any ideas on how I could magnetize transparent bases for units like T'au drones or flying units? 🤔

A alternative you could do is put a magnetic sheet down in the bottom then just glue on some metal washer on the bottom of the bases. Cuts down on magnets.

This is going to be perfect for my kill team. Thanks!

Going to try those magnetic sheets as the ferrous ones I have are a bit wimpy.

Great video, only feedback is that if you overlap the larger sheet on top, you can use its edge to cut the off cut in one go, v easy 👍

The middle of my really useful box has arched up in the centre after applying the magnetic sheet for 24 hours. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Duncan, I've been using this method for a while but lately my models have been moving around in the magnetic case and some of them have even had their magnets fall off, have you got any advice for how to deal with this?

Is one go with the glue enough? Or do I need two thin coats? 😂

IN DUNCAN WE TRUST

The other nice thing about magnetized models for storage is the magnets also act as a weight that keeps your models from being easily knocked over during a battle.

If someone can help me? I have bought a lot of 4L & 9L boxes for storing minis. Theya re good for infantry and vehciles but for large things like Magnus the Red, Monolith etc. They are too small. Can anyone recommended the correct size of boxes 25cm+ in height? I need a few big ones that are stackable onto the 9s&4s for my large stuff like magnus, Monolith & Slient king.

What strength magnet are people aiming to use, I got a dud set or my Khorne berserkers are just to heavy

If you reversed the magnetic paper stack where the small was under the large you could literally cut using the edge of the large sheet as the guide to ride along. Or at the very least, score it then finalize the cut outside of the bin.

Gonna Watch later!
