I may be done with Imperials

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

battle foam 720 custom is what you seek... it holds ALL my imperial stuff and i have 3 Firesprays,10 ties, 8 interceptors 4 shuttles and 6 of everything else. I dont have a spot for my decimators yet probably going to wait a bit and design it around the raider as well...

Seriously though, what are you folks putting your CR90 and Decimators in, mine need a home.

I found a Faded Glory shoebox at Walmart that fits the CR90 perfectly. So my wife got a pair of shoes and I got a box, all on clearance for $5. Not a bad deal.

Yeah, but your wife still spent 5 dollars on shoes, and it was probably your money. Could have gone toward another ship. :P :D

CR90 fits perfectly in a Battle foam 720 bag along with TWO transports and several fighters in the SAME custom tray...just saying... and NO i don't work for battle foam....lol

Space is relative.

Remove your relatives and you'll have more space.

(By the way I'm not condoning arranging a hit. Just suggesting you use their room/house for your present and future collection)

Interceptors, Defenders and Phantoms interlock really neatly.

Nice k turn you pulled there I came expecting whine and cheese.

I'm using kr foam trays it's bulkier but I know nothing will break off in transit, though with scum conning I'll need more space.

I had LITERALLY made myself a bowel of popcorn using my new popcorn maker, only to be dissapoint that this is not a doom and gloom thread.

I had a nanna peanut butter sammich cause it was breakfast time here at Boss Central.

:lol:

only one decimator? how are you supposed to run the "DOUBLE DECIMATORS OF DOOOOM" list?

(it really is a fun list :P )

Pffft.

What kind of attitude is that?

Where would we be if Tarkin woke up one morning and decided to stop buying more ships?

Probably some sort of horrific corrupt "democratic" nightmare. Again. Some sort of "new" republic.

OMG.......Paint one up like Hawk.....the other like Animal!

OOOOH WHAT A RUSH!

there are only two ways out of the imperial navy:

retirement or death

i let you take you pic...

And even in death do we serve...

So, you really don't have much of a choice.

disregard decimator

acquire more tie advances

Pffft.

But he DID stop buying more ships. He upped the ante and bought a small moon instead!

You are never "DONE" with any faction....you just buy bigger cases!

I will buy a second one of these for any faction if need be.....

Same. Currently storing all of my ships in 1 Plano 732. I continue to rearrange it to find more space for everything each time I get more ships.

With 8 TIE Fighters, 6 Bombers, 4 Phantoms, 3 Defenders, 2 Shuttles, 2 Decimators, 3 Firesprays, 3 TIe Advanced('s?), and 9 Tie Interceptors (and I'm probably forgetting something) just for Imperials it's quite difficult to store and be mobile at the same time. I keep everything in the plastic vaccuum formed holders the ships come packaged in,a nd then put those into various cardboard boxes.

All this tacklebox stuff is great for organising the dials and ship tiles and tokens/dice and such, but using it to store ships is less safe for the models than the plastic holders, costs additional money, and with a collection as dumb as mine there is the real possibility of running ouf of space in the fancy Plano box that opens up and holds 4 plano tackleboxes inside of it. Infact, I'd probably be out of space. One tacklebox for tokens/dice, another for all of my dials and ship tokens, one for small Imperial ships, another for small rebel ships. Welp, looks like I'm out of space lol.

Besides, with how much money I have in this game, storing all of your stuff neatly in a single box makes it much easier to steal. I've started bringing only the ships/dials/cards/etc. I need for 2 builds along with my tacklebox of tokens/dice/templates. For casual game days it'll be two builds, for tournaments I'll only bring one.

We'd have a Death Star without proper armour on the exhaust port, because the requisitions form for that was just one hassle too many.

Expandable storage. I simply just bought another single box for scum. Plus, it's manly.

Well, my scum storage box comes in on saturday, so this pic is old.

More details of this please!

I actually did go out and pick up a second tackle bag at Walmart for $30. Now have a dedicated storage bag just for models and cards, and a tourney bag for bases, templates and a prebuilt squad.

And there's still two more unused trays for the eventual Rebellion and Imperial expansion.

I mean, look at this. There's barely any room left. I think I can squeeze in one more TIE Fighter, and probably another Defender, but otherwise there's no more room in the docking bay.

Which Plano model do you use?

Looks identical to the large trays of my Plano 732. OP did mention it was a Plano tacklebox, so it is likely also a Plano 732.
