More X-Wing Fun

[Watchman]

Here is a better display of the Keter Cases and their versatility.

As you can see they stack well, probably going fifteen high would be no problem.  I have been ten high and they were solid.

 

All the inserts can be removed, and if you noticed in prior photos the different colors, Lowe's-yellow and Sears-red.  I had thought of removing the bottom inserts for the huge ships but I think I will go with Chrome's idea of keeping them in their original boxes, since they were designed to protect them anyway.

 

Here you see the carrying handle, very heavy duty, flip up from the back.  It maintains a level transporting position for the miniatures.  It also provides some what of a safety feature if you happen to leave the case unlatched.  With the handle in the up position the case will not fall open, but if the handle is not up and it is unlatched and you happen to grab just the top half of the case then you can have a problem... I did.

I have quite a few binders not being used so I noticed a fellow at the gaming night with 9 position card holders, so I am putting the binders to use for each faction:

 

I have the pilot cards in their own page and just need to add what upgrade cards I plan to use for a battle.  The top two factions have two binders each so far.

 

 

I am doing this for Star Trek-Attack Wing also... recycle, reuse.

One thing I really like about the binder pages is the ability to have all the bonus rules cards in one place (if you go front & back).

 

I don't know if you've seen them, but Ultra-Pro (and others, I guess) are starting to get pages out with smaller pockets that are appropriately sized for the upgrades--sixteen slots to a page.

Hmmm, I might need to go through my collection of binders and see which ones I'm not really using...

Here is the force structure update:

Scum & Villainy

 

Empire

 

Rebel

 

I plan on using the Gozanti Imperial Cruiser in the other factions without the carrier abilities.  It seems it was a standard Troop/Cargo Transport the Empire upgraded to heavy lift capability.

Never knew the Ghost was that big, hmmmm

He has to be big or you will not see him. <- that's a joke about ghosts... :P

Keep in mind that the Rebel Transport (like the Corvette, Raider and Carrier) is not on the same scale as the rest of X-Wing.  

 

It does look bigger than the Falcon though.

Well the "real life" falcon is actually twice as big on the inside as it is on the outside.

Halberkill mentioned the Millennium Falcon, which I left out as it is kept in the case with the two Starter Sets.  So here it is with the Ghost.

[Sergeant_Crunch]

I've always figured the Ghost was larger than the Falcon since it carries a shuttle.

Same, thou if you go by the show & what we've seen with the Falcon, the Ghost feels more confined then the Falcon. Thou, the Ghost does have a bigger crew then the Falcon.

[Watchman]

Here I have four Starfield mats, one of which is cut into three strips.  This covers a one foot strip along the edge.  The table is 4'x8', and there is enough over hang to extend the table another foot.  This should be enough for the Huge ships.

My God, it's full of stars...

 

[Arc 724]

I'm star struck.
