I spent an enjoyable half an hour or so this morning, cutting out Ferrosheet panels to fit into the compartments of a storage box, so that the magnet based ironclads could be safely attached to the bottom without sliding around all over the place. The sticky backed self-adhesive Ferrosheet is from Tony at Tiny Tin Troops and is an excellent product, which I've used before for lining RUB boxes. It's also very good value at £4.50 for two A4 sheets, which is enough for most jobs, although the sheets I used were smaller as I didn't need as much. I have left half the trays empty for the Royal Navy to fill up, with a couple of the larger trays left unlined, so that I can store game equipment and other paraphernalia.

I'm inspired by your Ironclads. I bought some Tumbling Dice Napoleonic Naval over to the US with me when I relocated the lead pile by 4000 miles. Your work means I'll dig them out and have a go myself at some of them.
ReplyDeleteI have some too..lovely models. I may well do some Napoloeonics once I've finished this lot?
