Thread: Aerodrome Accessories Miniature Hangars

  1. #1

    Default Aerodrome Accessories Miniature Hangars

    I would like to officially introduce the newest product in the Aerodrome Accessories lineup, the Miniature Hangars.

    These Hangars will protect you miniatures form harm when traveling to the front lines for the battle of air superiority. Each Hangar is laser cut from 1 inch (25mm) foam and has been painstakingly designed to fit each and everyone one of the miniatures. No generic cutouts here, each of your cherished miniatures has a home made just for it. What good are airplanes on the front line with out ground crew support? The Hangars also has a custom cutout to hold the maneuver deck and flight stand for each plane. For more ground crew support, there is a Hangar just for damage decks and other game enhancing bits.

    Hangars are going to be priced at $12.99 each.


    Hangar 1



    Hangar 2



    Hangar 3



    Hangar 4



    Hangar 5



    Hangar 6



    Hangar 7



    Hangar 8



    Ground Crew Hangar



    The bottom left is a double A damage deck, followed by two more A decks, a two B decks, a C and D deck finish out the damage decks. One of the spots has a stack of mission objective cards in it and the other has a few pegs and such.



    This is the Force Operations bag, called Ranger, in ACU camouflage pattern. It will hold Series 1-4 planes along with two extra 1 inch trays. I have this one loaded out with the Ground Crew Tray and a tray for my F Toys/Repaints.


    I made a little video showing off the bag and the trays inside it.

    The Ranger bag is priced at $65.00.

    Other than that, awesome. Looks good to see it filled with planes!

    Waiting for these to be available on the Aerodrome Accessories site. The funding has already been appropriated and as soon as they are listed, I'm prepared to place my order!

    They are in the works. Obviously with a larger fanbase of WWI players, that is where Keith started. I'll admit I am partial to WWII, but obviously I'm the minority. Just give us a bit of time.

    What are our colour options for the Operations bag? That is if we do not want the digital camo pattern?

    huh, ok, here is mine:


    And a red one:

    Default

    When will the trays be available to purchase?

  15. #15

    Default

    I will be adding them to the store this week for pre-order with production taking place shortly after that.

  16. #16

    Default

    One last question. Is there a discount for ordering a complete case?

  17. #17

    Default

    I have been waiting (drooling) in anticipation of these trays to become available before placing my complete order of accessories. (Was hoping to save some shipping.) I notice know that perhaps I should not have waited, as many of the items in my cart are now listed as "Out of Stock" where they might have been listed as "will be backordered" last week.

    I am wondering how soon your obviously popular items will be restocked, so I might decide whether to just go ahead and order trays now and the rest once it becomes available!

    Thanks in advance for any info!

    Here is a pic of my Force Operations bag; you can see more in my album. As I have said earlier, and to echo the Colonel's review -- this is an outstanding bag, made in the USA, that carries a ton of gear, and perfect for carrying our planes; I already have a desert MARPAT on order, that is how much I like these bags, and think they are an outstanding value.

    Semper fi!

    Just a small and pedantic point.

    Aircraft go in a Hangar. At least they do in the RAF.

    You stop your clothes from falling on the wardrobe floor by putting them on a hanger.

    I'm not aware of any international spelling variation to this convention.

    I will most likely add a combo deal to the store for a bag and complete set of 9 trays.

    I really wish I could give a good answer to the Out of Stock question. I have a new laser shop working on prototypes of all my products, but they are having some issues with the files as they use a totally different system then the old shop. I am guessing it is going to be the first or second week of December before everything comes back in stock.

    Any plan to do trays just for the miniatures? It looks like nearly 50% of the space is utilized for card decks, which IMHO don't need protecting in the same manner.

    That was done to provide a space for the flight stand and maneuver deck for the planes. It wasn't so much for protection as it was for organization.

    Let me see if I can do a no card option on the generic.

    Ok these look great, but can you tell me if the card spaces are cut to fit cards using protective sleeves? Or am I the only one who uses them ?

    Since I use the FFG sleeves, this is an important question to me as well.

    Is there no end to your headaches.

  33. #33

    Default

    I use the card sleeves as well. While I would like a bit more room for the sleeves, I have found sleeved cards to fit the trays as is, with just a little deformation. I don't know how the trays will take this long-term, but for the last couple of months things seem fine.

    That being said, I would purchase a generic tray with larger card areas -- if it is feasible; there isn't much room.

    Cheers!

    Ah... but what wonderful headaches to have, when demand for the custom product you are selling is so high that you struggle to continue to fill orders... Congrats on what seems to be a nice success!

    I'll get a set of sleeves and test them. Since 95% of the gamers out there do not use them, I will not be stocking them on the store all the time. They will be a custom order type of thing at the very best.

    And I'd be supper happy if the supply issues were do to overwhelming demand and not supplier production issues

    I see that the foam trays are listed in the Aerodrome Accessories. I hope the transport bags and tray and bag sets follow soon.

  37. #37

    The bags will not be in production for some time, that is why they are not on the site yet. I'm trying to figure out how to add the Combo Package to the site now as a pre-order that will ship once the bags come in.

    Hey guys, Keith has placed his first order for trays, but I will not be cutting them until Monday. If you place your order before Sunday, that will allow Keith enough time to adjust his order to make sure there is enough to cover your orders.

    Just a thought.

    I'm working on getting that to function correctly in the store. If I can't get it to work the way it should/I want... I might just put up a Generic Custom tray and you will have to list the planes you want in it in the notes or something.

    Yah, I think the Col. is asking $3500.00 a set plus shipping.
    How many do you want?

    I stand corrected. It should be $4000.00 a set. ($500.00, my cut)

    The bags are not in production just yet. Once they are, you will be able to select the color you want from a drop down box.

    In all honesty, I don't understand why it takes so long to stock trays that can be made fairly quickly.
    While I'm on my soapbox, can trays be made for all D.VII's, all Albatross D,Va's, all Nieuport 17's & all Dr,1's?

  50. #50

    Default

    The delays come mostly from both Bryan and my self having full time careers and families. That means we have to do this in the free time that we create (and we have to create quite a bit of it for this stuff). Add into that the unforeseen issues that always happen (like 100 trays getting lost in the mail on Christmas eve by FedEx) and you should start to see why it takes a while to get things done.

    Trust me, know one wants to have the products in stock more then me!

    As for trays of all one type of plane, I am working on custom trays for the site. You will be able to select any of the current Wings of War planes in any amounts up to the limit of 6. This means you can order a tray with exactly the combo of planes you want. Being custom trays they will cost a little more and take a little longer to produce. Just some things to think about.
