Guide to creating storage solution
So I’ve felt that I needed more storage for my completed models.
As such I ordered 3 of the 24.5ltr really useful boxes:
First thing to do was to add my name label to it:
Then to get the ferrous sheet (self adhesive rubber like metal sheet), I bought a 1m sheet for the 3 boxes:
I’ve not used steel sheets before as these are easier to cut to shape, less dangerous (no sharp edges), and also probably cheaper. Never had issue with it.
The next step was the measure out the 3 areas for the 3 boxes:
Then cut them out (rounded the corners):
Then take off the backing and stick them carefully in the boxes:
And that’s the boxes sorted:
So now the bottoms have the metal sheet in them , the magnetic bases will stick to them. These are the magnets I attach to the bottom of the bases:
Split them in half and have 2 strips on the bottom:
That is normally strong enough. I’ve used rare earth magnets on some models depending on if they need extra strength.
