Miniature Transport

[jbaeza94]

With a lot of big and unusually shaped bugs, i was wondering how you guys transport them. I have one of those GW boxes for my marines, and i figure i could fit my gaunts and pants stealers in there as well. However, what do you guys do for the big ones? In looking for something in a hard case (i travel often). Any suggestions? Thanks... swarm brothers? I still don’t know what to call this side of the community lol

A tool case and some isolating foam from a DIY store do the trick cheaply for me

I've found the new(ish) style of gw case/foam pretty adaptable, and it comes is a hard case format for like £80 or so. I think all my gribblies will fit in a crusade case no problem. My stormraven did.

Thanks all. i just got myself a free crusader case from gw, ill try to dedicate the new one to the big bugs
Xenith, did you have to remove any of the squiggly faom to fit the stormraven? im trying to see if i need to modify my foam

I use a variety of cheap plastic tubs and wrap the model in bubble wrap. Usually I can fit a Tervigon in one with space round the edges for a Venomthrope and a Broodlord as well. I'm not throwing it around so it only needs rigid protection and a little padding. I also have a Trygon in an old plastic Transformers lunchbox

Nope, it pushes to one side nicely. 

 

The wings on mine are removable, though, and I have the landing struts deployed. Raven goes on its side in the bottom, wings slot into the gaps. upper smaller foam insert gets turned upside down. Base fits in the gap between the left and right foam inserts.

 

The raven does take up almost a quarter of the crusade case, but it fits.
