Magnetic Tapes

There are many ways to store your figures and protect them during transport.

I find the use of adhesive magnetic tape a cost effective and space efficient method. Click on the pictures for a larger picture. To order magnetic basing material click here.

Box File

Line your box file with "Steel Paper". Steel paper is a adhesive backed material that allows the magnetic tape to "stick". The paper can be cut to any size with scissors. Two or three sheets are requried to line a standrd A4 box file. Box files are biiger than A4 as they are sized to hold A4 paper.

5m length rolls

The rolls can be cut to length by ordinary scissors. The tape is adhesive backed and the adhesive is exposed by the easy peel waxed paper cover. This is not difficult to peel off.

Tape cut to size

My new ACW Union army gets the treatment

Figure base covered with Tape

The magnetic tape can be cut to length with scissors. The tape available here is 15mm wide so it covers the whole of an Infantry bases, two or more strips can be used for bigger bases. Around 166 Infantry bases can be covered by one roll.

Infantry suspended

Once the Infantry bases has the magnetic material on it you will be surprised at the angle they will remanin stuck at.

Still there

The box file is vertical

Efficient storage

As you can see from my study box files make excellent storage. Box files come in two sizes the shallow ones are ideal for armies that don't have lancers or otehr "high" figures.
