    For £10 picked up this little baby:

    27 ships stored and room for 3-4 more, plus all the cards and bases.

    Neil, may I ask from where you bought that, please?

    Neat packaging Neil.
    I am still working out how best to transport mine. Whatever I get it's going to need wheels.

    A lot of "demasted" ships in this box...

    (I store them in their original boxes)

    So do I. Ares designed a decent stowage system that let's you keep the ship and it's associated cards and mat together safely, and all without having to pay extra for the privilege.

    I believe that is because Neil got a lot of damaged ships from Keith.

    Might I suggest the application of some glue?

    I think that an application of time might be more appropriate in Neil's case Dave.

    The only issues with using the original box though is if you sleeve your cards, then they dont fit in the slot and if you rig them you have to adjust the internal ship holder.
    So for me I use the new KR trays which holds, now, all my ships.

    My sleeved cards still fit the slots Chris.
    However, your point about rigging is the main problem with the original boxes.
    A very important one.

    Apolgies , yes the sleeved cards do fit, I was thinking of my wings cards for some reason, but once you start to rig your ships the original packaging does not assist at all.
    I like the drawer method and looks like it keeps altogether and obviously a lot cheaper than the KR option.
    In a coupke of weeks
    Ill shw you how the KR option keeps things together.

    That will be good Chris, because I'm still unsure of splashing out loads of dosh unless the system works for me.

    Yep, a lot bought from the AA shop like that and some the masts came off. Still to be repaired and nothing to do with the storage box itself.

    If only I had the time......work, WoG, SAGA, et al are all taking there time. Then I've been off colour of late and slowly getting back into it. Ships will be repaired as and when I get round to them. But with 34+ Langtons I am in no hurry.
