Well the new house is at the underwriting stage and so far all of the hoops have been cleared to this point. Hoping that the next week goes smoothly and the movers arrive on time on 11/4.
This move has certainly put into perspective how much modeling, miniature and gaming stuff I have collected over the last 4 years or so. Yesterday I spent the entire day just packing up all of my stuff. 15 boxes later, and mind you I haven't even touched the miniatures yet, my little corner of our shared craft room is cleaned out. I'm pretty sure the miniatures will be another 4 boxes.
My wife and I have been debating on how we want to setup the new craft room for the two of us. It's a little larger and has more open wall space. There's no closet in the bonus room, so shelving of some sort will need to be used. Ikea has some interesting layouts and will mostly be used for the room. I would almost like to store my miniatures so they can be viewed. I was thinking of a glass case to put them in but not sure if that's the best way to do it. Any suggestions?
Hopefully I will be back to posting a little more regularly after the move is completed. I also have to get my painting mojo back and get started on my 10mm AWI armies I have.
Victor... you aren't going to lert the movers move your troops, are you? That is kind of risky business! I have always moved mine by car personally... too much at stake to let the Gorillas handle them. When we moved to our house almost 30 years ago, I said, "that's it, I'm not moving again!"
ReplyDeleteHow far is the move?
No. I will be moving them myself but I need to make sure they are packed well, so I don't break them. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move! I did my last in 2011 and expect not to repeat again the experience!!

ReplyDeleteI would consider enclosed shelving so the miniatures can be viewed and easier to maintain. I have many miniature airplanes stored that way.
ReplyDeleteI would store the miniatures in glass case shelving for viewing, protection and maintenance.

ReplyDeleteMay I suggest clear plastic shoe boxes. They have enough height for flags and pikes, serve as transport if required, stackable to conserve space, and you can see inside to view and see what you have!
ReplyDeleteThe local Home Depot has them for under a dollar.
You can get larger clear boxes for all your other items.
I have a hundred or so now for all my various armies! LOL.
