Storage Options

Storage sorted

Ok I’ve finally sorted out my X-Wing storage and transport issue. Ages ago I bought one of the Mantic mystery boxes that came with a free (or at least very cheap iirc) shoulder bag. Never actually used it because my models don’t go anywhere..

Until now! And would you believe it, it’s only the perfect size for the two small Stanley sortmasters I got in that bundle.

It even has a handy divider at the back for the manuals and the pesky long range ruler! Perfect.

The first sortmaster is filled with all the tokens, cards and dice needed (oh and I see why everyone says buy another starter kit, an extra set of movement templates and more dice would be great).

The other sortmaster, after much hacking of container, plastic ship boxes and polystyrene now holds my ships.

And the spaces at the front that currently holds the stands and pegs should be large enough for two small expansion ships. A shame because my next purchase I think will be a B-wing. I watched the final of last years worlds where two X-wing and two B-wing beat a tie swarm and it really sold me on them. 5 shields and they can barrel roll?

Anywho I digress, storage sorted, all that’s left to do is spray the underside of the ship holders black so it all looks a bit neater. In fact I might do that now.. woot, all done.

And I still have the huge sortmaster for when I end up buying a load more large expansions. I think with a bit of work it could even fit a Tantive IV or Rebel Transport. Isn’t that tempting?
