Hello everyone! I try to attend as many swedish tournaments as I can and usually just keep my stuff in a box between games. This spring I got slightly jealous of the people carrying around their stuff on an ordinary tray. I wanted to come up with something with a bit more functionality and this is the result.

It's made from dense foam, a plastic board in the bottom for stability and and a kind of fabric for protection (and looks).

The cross-thing is what I'm most proud of, it holds either 4 small ships or 1 large. So the tray holds 2 large ships or 8 small. Or 1 large and 4 small.

The manouver template holder can be lifted out

And in action

Just wanted to show it to you.

Bump

AWESOMENESS...

Bump for the Falcon repaint.

I played against this guy in Uppsala, and there were quite a lot of players there using this invention. It is certainly not a bad piece of kit.

The cross-thing is what I'm most proud of, it holds either 4 small ships or 1 large.

Agreed. That is awesome.

Oh, that is lovely!

A question: How stable are the big ships? Not having support at the corners would make me a little cautious.

How'd you do the fabric covering?

Do you sell these?

I saw this at Lincon. Very nice!

Great stuff, seen them live!

Nice seems like a good idea when going table to table.

That's a goddamn beautiful thing.

That looks fantastic, and great falcon repaint as well!!

Nice.

That is really slick! Nicely done. I also like the Falcon repaint. Adds a little class to Solo.

I want to go to there,

I usually just stick everything in the skulls of my enemies.

This would make for an amazing tutorial. Great work.

Thank you everyone!

@Reiver: The large ships are not as stable as the small ships, they can be tilted at 45 degrees though which should be sufficient for tournament use. The small ships stay even if upside down.

@egudmunson: I only produce small amounts in my spare time and bring them to the tournaments I go to. I have no possibility of accepting orders sadly.

I build these at work were we have a cnc-machine equipped with a knife for foam-cutting. The basic shape is cut out with this, then the pieces are cut down to the right thickness with a bandsaw. The pieces are then glued to a piece of plastic (don't know what the type of board is called in english, "kanalplast" in swedish). The fabric is then glued to the bottom, then folded up over the sides and lastly the corners. Overhanging fabric is trimmed down with a knife.

The manouver template holder only has a piece of plastic glued underneath it and small pieces of foam left in the holes for the 1 speed manouvers.

All the gluing is done with a hot glue gun, though it's an industrial version.

WANT!!

Are you coming to Nordics in Copenhagen? If you do (or know someone who does), I will pay cool cash for one of those.

Come to Italy and we're going to buy you heaps of those.

Omg it's beautiful. The repaints and all. I'm super jelly

I will be at the Nordics in Copenhagen yes.

Sweet paint jobs.

Can we get the blueprints?
