The Troop cabinet is finished (well except for some hardware) and has been set up in my games closet. The lower section is used to store game cloths and terrain.
A drawer of British infantry
and some calvary plus artillery
There's room for some Spanish and Portuguese allies
A small gathering of French Line Infantry
And some French Lights plus Guards
French Calvary - well you get the picture.
The current 15mm Nappy collection (now a tad over 2,400 figures) takes up one column of drawers with room for a little expansion.
The last bit of construction involved adding a lip around the base unit to keep the cabinet in a snug fit. I'm glad to call this project done and looking forward to the first full field test at a future con.
Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSuperb!
I need one
Could you publish plans?
That's pretty darn impressive Miles! It looks like you even have space on the doors for slots for rule books and QRS's. So it stands up in the vehicle, like in the photo? And is it, what, about four feet high then?

ReplyDeleteWhen together the two units stand about 40 inches tall. They come apart for easier transporting in the back of my car. You're correct in the the side doors will have some rails added to allow them to hold rule books and other accessories.

There really isn't a set of plans, like most things in my woodshed and hobby I just sort of winged it. I'll do a post with some detailed measurements and a list of components - would that be helpful?
That is a very nice piece of furniture indeed
ReplyDeleteLovely job! Is the top drawer for larger figures? (With the additional height) It looks great!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
What a terrific (and useful) project. Well done Miles!
