tool boxes for soldiers or?

 




STORAGE IDEA

some compartment boxes brought from Officeworks and The reject shop for all those bits and bob's but great for all my collecyion toy soldiers

the big $5 one from the Reject Shop

$ 2.80 KEJI from Officeworks (Australia)

                                and these are $2 and the only thing is the compartments are set
                                               but seem to be the right size anyhow
                                 Pushing to get a platoon but two sections of 20mm work out OK

 

So a tonne of Platoon 20 and Skytrex and the Grenadier miniatures Twilight 2000 figures 

more of that in the Blog after this

and lastly but not leastly the 2 for $2 shallow lunch boxes they have a deeper one ar a similar deal but have yet to use them for anything, But maybe Artillery and Cavalry in 28mm, see when i get around to making up my Victrix Perry and Warlord Games stuff Napoleonics and Ancients

just right for painting projects etc as the 1/300th stuff shows

errata straight up:


another shot of the reject shop $2 compartment box

 

and the large Fridge tray food tray

with some 1/300 work in it

and found some shots of the deeper Lunchbox from the Reject shop and still selling 2 for $2.50 about 3 inches high.

Tools of the TRADE 1#

Down the local $2 shop (reject shop) these adjustable clamps with a squeeze pump action to tighten right up, And there is a good deal of pressure. And a push button release to push and pull back on. Only bought the two, As only if i am building more than one kit at a time will i need more. (damn it!!) Like when would I have more than one thing at time being built?



Holding a (DML) Dragon figure for example of in use
The push button release just near my fore finger
Don't pump too hard when using your finger as a test of pressure, Because even the release button only allows you to pull back the clamp on the Metal alignment!!
As in it's not spring loaded!!.


THE SPRING CLAMPS
and again a four pack of Spring clamps
You know walk in the shop and see these and you know the only thing in your head is "for Models".


In use, well for the Phot, Anyway

just another shot and a possible use underneath as the background?!
will four be enough

Am thinking if I see these again then possible double or triple up
But only to replace Australia post rubber bands and clothes pegs.
No they are still in use, Just sometimes those rubber band are Just not workable
Something will break, Or too tight or loose etc.

Now i will do the compartment boxes I have been finding.Rough idea of what I mean by Australia Post rubber bands
Matchbox and Airfix Churchill by the Way?
