| Quote (MaksimSmelchak @ 24 2005 July,09:12) | Hi Guys,
I've found that storage, as Jaldon says, makes a huge difference to gaming.
Storing an army together while it is in project stage makes it much easier to return to.
Once the army is painted and finished, I also find that storing it together really helps. |
Yep, I think we all agree that storage is inportant. I also believe that the easy to use storage ideas are the best. That is why I said I liked his Pizza Box idea.
By the way, there is a guy on TMP who sells pizza boxes with foam linners for about $10 each right now. It is a good idea.

One thought, Jaldon, why not take some pictures of your boxes and share them as well.
I know I would share then in some of the Yahoo groups I am on.
Sometimes Pictures sell an idea better then words.

Sorry Gentlement, had to go to Nihau for the last two days and just got back, no phone lines on that island cell and radio only. 
dafrca, 51xIG SHTs, man we gotta talk about this obsession of yours I know this really good shrink. He'll turn you from this  to this  Myself I am still trying to figure out if this is an improvement.
I thought I was bad cause I had twelve SHTs, whoa boy you really are a sick man. I almost hate to ask, but are they all painted?
As I am still waiting for the pics from home on Marvin, the Pizza boxes will have to wait till I get home. At this rate maybe Marvin too.
My wife just bought the camera, and my son said he is still trying to figure it out himself, must be cause the pics he did send me looked UGH, blurry, fuzzy, could hardly tell what it was.
When I get them I'll post them in the modeling section, OK?

OK, Jaldon, you win. I have given my Valkryies a name. The Red Knights. Now they are not painted Red, but I did have the painter add a Shield marking on them. They will be tracked as a Formation and as they preform I will keep track of them. Let's see how this goes.

My Imperial Navy Lightning Fighters are from VF-143 "Puking Dogs" Squadron.
A few of my USN buddies served with this Squadron and I have operated with them before:

Starting small is a good move, as it gives you a chance to see if you really like the entire concept, or not, before you invest a lot of work into doing more.
When you find out you like it, don't dive in head first, instead build on the entire concept slowly, just as you have started.
Good luck, and I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as those of us who are already doing it.
Don't worry, if you don't  , I'll understand 
Jaldon

Oh and where are the pictures of the whole Pizza Box set up? 
Some of us want to see them.

I must apologize for the Pizza Box Pics, but those are going ot have to wait until I get back home. Neither my sons, nor my wife, want to touch them (Does be Papa's toys).
I have the Pics of Marvin and Company (They are on display in a glass box on my wall, so easy to get to), but I don't have my own web page so I have no idea how to post them (No URL), and I tried setting one up, but became befuddled.
My oldest boy tried to explain it to me, but it got me no further (He said it could be my laptop cannot handle it), so unless someone has another solution they'll also have to wait till I get home to my much more powerful (and much newer) desk top 'puter.
Oh, my return date, August 18th I get on the plane, and August 19th I arrive home (exhausted and internal clock all ) should be up and around by the 20th (Then comes out the "Honey Do's" Army List )
Once again sorry for the delay, but I will get on them as soon as I get back home.

No worry Jaldon, I did not realize you were still away. My Bad!
In any case, life is too short to worry about such things. I will get to see them when the time is right.

You could read my article on "A battlefield is a dangerous thing" under player aids if you want a more complicated game. Then it's even easier to keep track of who captured what.
Cheers!
