vutpakdi Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 While at Fry's Electronics relatively recently, I lucked upon a decent and inexpensive($7) plastic translucent case for my growing set of MSPs. The case is made by Plano and is their Stowaway Extra Deep model (#3730). The case is decently constructed and has pretty good latches, but no handle. The case is divided into 4 major rows, and I can fit 2 rows of MSPs per row. Overall, the case holds 101 MSP dropper bottles. Here is a picture of the case with MSPs inside: Main downside of the case is that there is no carrying handle. The first row also has indentations for the latches, so doesn't hold as many MSPs. There are dividers included, but I haven't put any in yet (though I probably will when I really use the case and leave some MSPs at home). If you don't have a Fry's nearby, a quick Google search showed some online places with the case, but for a touch more than Fry's price. Make sure that you get the Extra Deep version though: the normal one probably won't be tall enough for the MSPs. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabascojunkie Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Okay, no one stone me for this, but will Vallejos fit in it too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbob Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Flambeau also makes a deep clear tackle box that has a handle. They run $4.95 at Sportsmans Surplus here. They are set up exactly like the Reaper Paint Case, so they hold the same amount of MSP's. They also hold data cards and dice and large figs really well. I use one for my Warlord Demos. The dividers slide in perfectly to fit the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I use an ArtBin 9000AB with some dividers that I made myself. It will hold about 160 MSPs, which should start to get tight at the next release. Not as cheap at $15, but if you get it at JoAnnes make sure you use the 40 or 50% off coupon (I paid about $8.50 including NY tax). It does have a handle though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron these are awesome and each one will hold 72 paints while leaving a row for brushes etc... i have 2 of em... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vutpakdi Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Okay, no one stone me for this, but will Vallejos fit in it too? I'm afraid that I don't know: I don't have any Vallejos. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabascojunkie Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 They're in dropper bottles like Reaper, but about a quarter inch taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirikus Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 yes the plano case holds vallejo paints - it's what I'm using to store mine at the moment, it's a b it of a tight fit, but not enough to cause any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGKushner Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Some great options there. This is one of the few areas I think Reaper 'dropped' the ball for whatever reason. Their case is okay just not up to par with the rest of their offerings in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Apparently it was just designed as something to hold the paints, they didn't think people would actually want to use it. Something to that effect at least, Anne explained it when the case was first released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I bought the Reaper case to store my Vallejo GC's in along with a half-dozen or so MSPs. They all fit fine. I wish it had more of a handle, but it does have a sort of recessed handle grip in the front. The adjustable compartment dividers are a nice touch, too. I spent a while poking around the Container Store and some craft shops looking for some cheaper/more elaborate, but settled on the Reaper case as most other products were too shallow for the dropper bottles, or WAY to deep and the paints would just rattle around inside.
