That's certainly interesting. I will have need of some trays in the near future. I wonder what the policy is on custom cut stuff. I'll have to look into that.

I get a 15% military discount, I'm not sure if that will off set the cost of shipping though.

Right now they have a small selection of some of the standard trays for a couple of different systems. Talking to Morgan though, it sounds like they can order up just about anything you need. It looked like all the trays were BF's standard prices so at least you'll save on shipping.

They also have some of the smaller soft sided cases. These are BF's lower pric point cases, but are still pretty nice.

Great, I was just about to post asking the best place to buy a carrying case. My cardboard boxes aren't cutting it anymore (never did).. And by the time we get to 1500 pts in the league, I imagine I'd need to tote around 4-5 boxes to hold all my stuff.. No fun.

I just use plastic cases (found in the art supply area of the hobby stores or Meijer). I then cover the bottom of the cases with rolled steel (available from Menards in the roofing section--make sure to get steel, not aluminum). I put magnets in the bases of all of my models. Now I simply stick all of the models to the bottom of the cases.

This has proven to be quite successful for me. My models are kept safe and secure and nicely organized. For display at home, I simply have a couple of sheets of the rolled steel on my bookshelf. Helps keep the displays "cat resistant".

LIES! Cardboard boxes work great. After all they clearly look like Imperial landing craft. Shoddy, worn out from lots of use, and things are just kinda crammed in there.
