unfortunately, there's no perfect storage solution :(
I've used similar methods for carting GW (fragile plastic skeletons) and Dystopian Wars models and was able to use sterilite/plastic boxes with a piece of metal sheeting at the bottom. I've been able to find RE magnets online or on ebay for a decent price. I haven't had any issues with oxidation... yet.
