Blood for the Baron!

Finally got round to ordering a batch of cases from Oscars for some of the MOC's to try to protect them from my clumsy ways. Got 30 on their way, with, at last count, at least another 30 needed! This is looking expensive. Been meaning to get some for a while though as current strorage arrangements of stuffed in a box in the loft is not good, and is producing a bit of bending and bubble crushing.

Anyway, was wondering if anyone on here has ever found a suitable case to protect the bigger MOC's like boat patrol, para attack, Stingray or Satellite Defence?

I'm thinking I'll get Oscars to do me some customs, but just wondered if anyone on here had found a ready made alternative?

im currently looking into two ways for casing the figures one acyrlic then the other is more in line with the hardened plastic protech cases i will post any revelations as soon as i have them the ideas are with certain suppliers at the mo

1 for normal figures
1 for para attack boat etc etc

i would like to come up with a cheap solotion that works for all

what r peoples thoughts !!!!!!!

What are the dimensions of the large cards, please? Are they close to A4? There may be something suitable in a stationery wholesalers like Neat Ideas.

I'm thinking I'll get Oscars to do me some customs

I intend to get Oscar to make a few large-size cases for me when I eventually get all 4 of the large mocs myself [only got the sat defence and the stingray so far].

The problem is the larger they get the more chance of damage in the post. I've had a few knackered cases from Oscar in the past. Its not his fault, he packs them really well, its just the UPS postage people and the fact that they travel all the way from Mech-ico

Dont say that! I've got 30 on their way! Going to be worried now til they get here!

Might be able to help out with an SAS para. I think I may have two. I packed and unpacked so much it may have been the same one keeping on making a re-appearance, but doubt it. The sooner I get my lists in order the better!

PM if interested in any sort of trades (or anyone else for that matter).

Would a larger order cut the costs? I would certainly be interested in larger cases too. What's everyones thoughts?

if you order lots do you get hit for customs charges? bought a few "bargains" from the states only to be hit by ridicolous customs fees

I'm expecting to get hit by custom charges as he is going to be sending four boxes for the order I've placed. Bit too much to expect for that to slip under the radar I fear!

He's an unbelievably nice guy. He seems excitied by the idea of the cutom orders for the bigger MOC's!

Could they not be shipped in flat sections and you super glue them together upon receipt?
