Box of Spoils (Terrain stuff)

Recently, I found two, large, identical, and empty hard cases for power tools.  While it was a tad tricky carrying them on my bicycle, I made it home without incident, and today I managed to tackle the first of them.  But onto the pictures!

The cases are quite large - around 19x13x6-inches - and sturdy.  Unlike some other tool cases I've acquired over the years, these are very robust with metal rod-reenforced latches and hinges.  The split-lid feature is quite useful, allowing me to separate smaller, delicate pieces from the larger items.

There's still a bit of space left. I might try making some new
terrain pieces to fit flush, thereby getting the most out of the area.

10-minutes with my multitool saw the insides chopped out, leaving a ~18x12-inch cavity that I went about filling it with some of my terrain pieces.

On the right, I have stacked four 12-inch square boards stacked.
The left side provides enough space for a decent mix of elements.

As you can see, quite a lot fits in: plenty for a very dense 24x24-inch board.

I'm looking forward to giving this layout a try - maybe a
Kill Team game at Axes & Ales next week?

I think the project has merit, and I'm especially attracted to the idea of packing a table's worth of terrain in a single, relatively convenient case.  So what next?  If I can find the focus, I'll definitely clean-up the insides some - sand the rough bits back or maybe even melt them with some solvent?   I suppose I could always line it instead - and then turn my attentions to the outside.  Getting rid of the Makita logo would be a good start, and I am sure I could grimdark it down some - a paint job would make a world of difference.

And then there is box number two...
