dharman07 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I am in need or a treasure chest, with a sepearate lid, or one I could cut and re-attach easily. something easily removed from its base as well, so it could be set on a dungeon floor as just a basic chest. Doest Reaper make such? All I can find is the 54mm chest from the 54mm pirate sophie. I would order that but I dont know the dimentions, and what it would look like next to a 28mm character. Id like something about 15mm long and 6-7mm wide. Any help? Here or Otherwise? D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Try searching "treasure" in the Figure Finder - Reaper has a few other options that you missed. If those don't do it for you, IIRC HirstArts has at least one mold you can use to cast your own in plaster or whatever. No doubt they're available in resin &/or metal from other miniatures companies as well; these are just the ones I know about. Then there are kids' toys from toy/dollar/craft/etc. stores; you might get lucky there too, especially if you're not too fussy about scale and/or level of fine detail... Good luck, Kang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Kang I've got a bunch of the Hirst Arts chest, I can send you one, but they are closed per the mold. Try also mega miniatures, I think they might have what you need.

Kang, That would be very kind of you. Could I saw through the chest with a Jewelers saw and open it up? I would be happy to buy two or three off of you so I could experiment. Please PM me and we can connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardOne Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Just for grinz I tried "treasure chest miniature" in the Google image search. There were many promising looking items. Including two paper fold-up designs: http://home.epix.net/~woolse/images/mini_seachest.gif http://visitingteaching.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/visiting-teaching-treasure-scriptures.jpg Search and ye shall find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its pretty reasonable as well. I was hoping to get someone to measure it for me though, before I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ler Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Black Tree Design do a set of treasure chests. The bigger ones also have seperate lids and they are 28mm. I can take a picture next to some Reaper minis if you want a better idea of their size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ler Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ok, here's the picture of them. The three big ones have seperate lids but the two smaller ones are all one piece casts. And they're on 20mm bases, except for the biggest which is on a 25mm one. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I hope that helps too, since if you're still waiting for me to PM you about sending HirstArts chests, you're gonna be spit out of luck; it was captenglish who said some might be available - I was merely aware of their existence & don't actually own the mold for making chests.

Please PM me and we can connect. I really am very kind, as you said (not to mention intelligent, attractive, wealthy, powerful, and especially humble), but not quite that kind! (though I'd gladly send you some samples if I had any) FWIW, I think you probably could cut them open with a jeweller's saw; hollowing out the lid and the inside of the chest would be the tricky part...

Maceswinger Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 How about the old Mageknight Dungeons chests, some of those will probably float around on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
