Mechamaniac Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) Very interesting. I could see that working well for CM's figs.

New ways of fighting the evil dust legions are always welcomed. My Macross stuff won't fit there but I have some Warhammer and Confrontation miniatures that would really benefit from using something like this. Are these things cheap? The only drawback I see is that the "warp film" might not hold against pointy things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) TwoDucks... I think that minis would get a bit roughed up in one of those things, but the idea sure is neat. Think tho about all the pointy WH bits, and how soft the lead of the Confrontation figures is.... I'd be worried about ripping the film and figure deformation.. Really cool idea tho... I want to know if the film is reusable, or one figure one film, and then replace the film after it's stretched out if you want to repose the figure.... and what about the material of the film? I'd be worried about long term storage with the film bonding to paint or something... still really cool.

Especially on the Confrontation stuff. Maybe by making the bases a lot bigger you can focus all the stress there and leave enough free space for the delicate parts of the figure.

promethuem5 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 True, but if they're gaming minis, you don't really want to have some huge crazy base, do you? unless it's a secondary removable stoarage base.. like all those display bases people make... hmm... doesn't sound like such a bad idea now as long as you keep track of where it sticks out...

Veritas Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 That is a pretty neat idea. They've also gotta a neat little storage system for small items on their site that stacks like legos too. http://www.cubisto.com/01/cu02_00_00_hacco.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
