New Products, Altitude Glue and Display Hangars

[Oberst Hajj]

I'm proud to announce two new products to the growing line of accessories for this great game we all play.

Altitude Glue (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/game-aides/altitude-glue.html)

Ever get tired of your altitude pegs coming apart during a game? If so, then Altitude Glue is for you! This nontoxic "glue" dries clear and has a low tack that last forever (okay, maybe not forever, but close enough!). It does not actually glue to pegs together, but if you put a very thin coat of it on the small male pin of a peg, it will give the pegs just enough grip that they will not come apart during game play. You can actually shake the mini and base up and down with out them coming apart! When the game is over, you simply take the pegs apart like normal. Each bottle has enough Altitude Glue to do thousands of pegs.

Display Hangar (http://www.aerodromeaccessories.com/index.php/storage/display-hangar.html)

Looking for an attractive way to display your aircraft collection or to showcase that custom paint job? Look no further then the Aerodrome Accessories Display Hangar. Designed not only to highlight your favorite planes, but to keep them safe from damage and dust free. Encased in a heavy duty crystal clear protective shell is a simple diorama laser cut from Baltic birch. Since these planes are game pieces, simply tucking them away behind plastic will never do. The green field lifts up to expose a storage area for all the game parts you need to fly your plane!

Here is a short video (http://aerodromeaccessories.com/videos/DisplayHangar.mp4) of it in action... it's pretty cool so check it out!

[jbmacek]

Awww man! Those are sweet!

[jbmacek]

What are the dimensions on those? If they are the same width as an International Foods coffee tin, then they will fit in the tray of my storage/travel box! (I'm sure you've listed them somewhere, but it would be nice to have them on this page.)

[Oberst Hajj]

The plastic cases are standard UltrPro 100 count boxes. The outside dimensions are 75mm across, 100mm deep and 51mm high. Does that help?

[Bluedevil]

Awesome!:eek:

[Pseudotheist]

Cool stuff; couple questions:

1. Is the glue basically a re-labelling of that stuff Cappy-Tom used, or an altogether different animal?
2. Are you maikng any of the hangars with flight peg attachments?

[Oberst Hajj]

1. Yes, just repackaged in smaller bottles as the "retail" version is like 500x times to much quantity wise and this make it cheaper for our uses.

2. The hanger have a 1/8 hole in the top that I insert a wooden dowl into and glue the magnet onto. So, you could glue a peg in there, but I'm not sure how much top clearance you might have with all the different plane types. They might not also stay attached as good with out the magnet. Also, any ordered with out the magnet setup would have to coordinated prior to purchasing to make sure I have some "raw" parts to make it work.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Very neat promo video Keith.
Pity I already have my crates boxed otherwise I'd be after some of those boxes.
I will certainly be adding some of that glue to my next order though.
Rob.

[Oberst Hajj]

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll have to make some of these for my self as well. It's too cool (and safe) of a way to show off my repaints at Conventions!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

You have a good point there Keith.
For display at Conventions, I may have to get a few myself.
Rob.

[Doug]

Yes it would also be a good way of keeping dust of display models I will have to get some:money:

[Boney10]

Drat, didn't notice this before sending off my last order.
Like the glue, I am using clear nail varnish to add a bit of strength to the peg joins, seems to work.
Like the boxes too, lie the Wingco they would be very useful for displays. Hmmmmm

[pstapleton53]

Very nice job on the boxes! Much better than the ones I did. It really is an effective way to display and transport minis.

[redcoon2]

Looks like the old budget needs a quick update to account for the new display cases. Any discount for high-volume orders? Another great idea Keith.

[gully_raker]

:thumbsup: Two excellent additions to the range Keith.
Any news on when we can expect the foam Hangers to be back in stock?

I was using the clear nail varnish as well, but it seemed to wear off pretty quick and did not always hold well enough, requiring another coat. So I started looking for a better options and Ken/Tom turned me on to this at Origins this year.

Thanks. I what I learned form making my prototype "drawer" style display case and crossed it with some of what you did with yours. Add in the precision of laser cutting and it all comes out to one nice little product!

I was supposed to have had prototype samples for the Series 5 minis this past week :( So no, no real answer for you yet. Sorry.

[Niclas]

I had to look through my fingers at those display hangars. They're really cool, but if I start down that route I'll be ruined in no seconds flat.

[Naharaht]

These look good.

[Gaz67]

Are the boxes big enough for the twin seaters? and secondly are there plans for a Bomber sized box? (not that I can afford 50+ boxes!)

[Oberst Hajj]

Sent you a PM Thomas.

The short answer is no, the 2 seaters will not fit in these cases. The German 2 seaters would fit into them if I turned them sideways and moved the tall wall to the side and relocated mounting point off center a bit. All of which is doable. The Entente 2 seaters are larger and will not fit these cases at all. Same for the bombers of course. I could try sourcing cases for the larger planes, but sells on the scout sized Display Hangars would have to warrant them.

[DanjelRicci]

Wow. The cases are stunning! *__*

[tusekine]

When will the glue be available? I tried to order but got out of stock. Thanks!

[HTRAINo]

Wow! someones been very busy! Nice selection of goodies to choose from now :drinks:

[pstapleton53]

I liked the look of the new boxes so much that, despite I still have a numer of my own design available, I ordered a couple of yours. It occuured to me that your boxes, along with some of my paper miniatures would make an attractive tournament award. Or a nice gift, a la, an upgraded in appearance duel box.

Sorry about that, wrong setting in the system. They can be ordered now.

That's quite a compliment Patrick. And you are quite right about them making great gifts and prizes. I think I'll have to pick up some extra minis from Series 5 and the Series 1 reprints and box them up for prizes!

[grief]

Very nice, i think when i've collected a few more air craft i'll be in . I presume the ww2 models will fit?

[Oberst Hajj]

All of the fighters do and both the Stuka and Val fit turned sideways (facing long edge of the box).

[Caveman]

I just received my display hanger and these things are great! I wish I could take a picture that does them justice.

[Oberst Hajj]

Glad you like it Dave. I've found them to be great for showing people my custom paint jobs. It keeps the plane nice and safe (especially the minis I've rigged) while letting the viewer see clearly all the details I've added in a nice looking environment. The storage space on bottom is just an added bonus to me.

[richarddaystrom]

Is it still possible to order these nice Display Hanger cases?

[Oberst Hajj]

Not really, but PM me your wants and I can cut you the wood parts if you want to source the clear cases and assemble them your self.

[skyking20]

Another amazing addition to our great hobby! But I need a part time job just to keep up!

By the way Keith my order arrived today. Perfect!

[Marechallannes]

I bought the altitude glue and use it always.

Before I always had to check wether the altitude pegs fit or fit not.

I can only recommend this product. :thumbsup:
