Does a new batch is scheduled?
Some of the trays are now back in stock. I'm still waiting for the manufacture to cut my last order of tray tops.
WooHoo! Thanks for the update, Herr Oberst.
Hoping to get some hanger trays for my Handley Page and Stakken. They are still showing 'Out of Stock'. Soon Come?:pray:
Just an update, the trays are still in production at the factory :( I sent them some new designs (for a different game) and they have had some issues with the files. So that has held up the whole order.
Ah, well, these things do happen.
All ACE Hangar Trays are back instock!
Woo, and also Hoo!
Now if I only had some cash! :(
Karl
Woo and Hoo and Order Placed
:thumbsup:
One thing I didn't see on any of the hangar tray product pages: the size of the trays themselves?
I know they're mostly 1.25" thick, but the length and width dimensions are a mystery to me.
I have standardized on the Battlefoam large tray (12" x 15.5") for all my storage boxes, but have need to purchase more WoG foam. Was hoping to finally get some now that they are in stock at the same time as I need some storage.
EDIT: I dug around more in the various threads and found an old post that indicates they are (probably?) 7.5" x 13". Is that correct?
EDIT EDIT: Has anyone tried these in Battlefoam Stacker Boxes? I measured mine and it appears to be 13.5" x 16" or so on the inside, so hopefully just enough to fit two of these trays side-by-side. Would be very nice, as I've already got a number of those boxes and despite their offensive price, they're quite nice to use.
The large ones. I'm thinking I'll order some of your trays and see if they fit! :)
I have "designed" a custom tray layout that works nice for the Battlefoam large trays and holds 10 planes with their cards, but Battlefoam is asking $31 for each one - ouch!!
I can get almost 3 of your trays for that money, with much better foam and a much nicer person/company to deal with.
Thanks sir!
With just about everyone of my products, I tried other companies first and decided that their quality to price ratio was not as good as I could make my self... so I started making them my self. This applies to the foam trays as well. Battlefoam has some nice (if expensive) bags, but their trays are no better than the average tray out there and they are way to expensive.
Based on your measurements above, it looks like you will have .5" left on the long side and 1" left on the double stacked side. If you think you need or want them, I have blank trays that are 1" thick and two of the tray bottoms would make up the .5". We can work out a price for those extras if you decide you want to go that route.
Sadly I just re-measured and the bottom of the stacker boxes is only 12.5" across (by about 16" long). So it looks like it won't work out after all (surely to Battlefoam's delight).
Is there a current recommendation for a side-by-side bag or stackable/packable box for your trays?
I have two 44 Qt Ziploc® Weathertight Storage Boxs. I can fit double stacked trays. It isn't terribly snug which is great since I use the extra room for the rules, player boards, etc... That even leaves room for a Plano box which I keeps my damage decks, tokens, Litko AA guns, etc. Really with my collection I only needed one box but, oops, I got a little carried away. So now I keep my balloons, giants and heavy bombers in a separate box. I had a custom tray made at Battle Foam that will hold four balloons so if/when Ares releases balloons I have room. :D so really the second box has plenty of room. If you needed them snug I'm sure you can work something out with Keith but the only need is if you turn them upside down, which I try not to do. They don't really jostle around.
P.S. I should have said that I use Keith's Aerodrome hanger trays in the Ziploc container so we're on the same page. :)
P.P.S. Old age must be setting in. I didn't realize I said the same thing a few posts up. Sorry for the double post.
Keith,
Any idea on when you will be getting more trays in. It shows you are out of fighter trays and I'm think about ordering more Spitfire MK1 and Hurricane MK1 for repaints.
I'll be putting these in Game plus bags so your trays should fit.
Keith: I am also waiting with baited breath for your next batch of trays. Are you still making them? At a minimum, I'll be looking for a fighter, large fighter, two-seater, large two-seater, O/400 and Zeppelin Staaken trays. If you sell accompanying bags, I'd be interested in that as well.
Yes, I'm still making these and they should be fully restocked soon. I'm just waiting on the different colored bottoms to come in. I've added what I have (no blacks, a few blues, and several reds and lots of yellows) to the site, so if you just need a few of certain colors, you should be able to get those now. As soon as the colored bottoms come in, I'll update this thread.
Will you be restocking Stuka bases any time soon?
Great! I've placed an order! The color of the base is not all that important to me, I just don't want to break a plane while placing/removing it from it's box. I'm also hoping that this will enable me to store all my stuff in a manageable space. Thanks!
Base color doesn't matter to me either, I currently have a pink Game Plus bag empty for my odd planes.
Red, Blue and Black tray bottoms restocked!
For those of you who have the trays, whose bags are you using and which version of the bag? Thanks.
44 Qt. Ziploc Weather Shield Storage Box in Clear
P.S. actually I have two. One just for my giants and balloons (with room left over), the other has all of my planes and a plano of tokens.
Thanks. Never thought of the tote. I was thinking Sabol or Battlefoam type of stuff. How many can you fit in there Ken? Side-by-side and top to bottom?
Around 65 planes (not giants or balloons) plus rules, maneuvers boards (10), printed booklet of player aids (from here), printed booklet of scenarios and good matchups. Plano box (full of tokens, damage/target/bombing cards, flame and fire plastic), another tray of damage/target/bombing cards and skill from aerodrome, and two printed landing strips all fit in one box.
I can check tonight if you want.
P.S. I was going to go with a bag for the trays, but with the number of planes I ended up with that would have been multiple bags, so I opted for the totes. I do use Battle Foam for my X-Wing stuff.
Oops, I hadn’t read ALL of the posts. I see above you said two stacks of 10+ inches of foam. Think I’ll order one.
Just so you know, the giants and balloons do fit, they are just in another box.
Also I use the Aerodrome trays. I like them; bBut something to note. Not everyone keeps each maneuver deck and base with each plane. If you just keep enough maneuver decks and generic bases for what you play, you might save a lot of space using different trays; ones that are just for planes.
Me I use the Aerodrome trays and keep the maneuver cards and most relevant skills with each plane and pilot. Since they are together you can simple grab a plane, it's deck, base and pegs without looking in different places. But, as I said, storing the cards and bases that way uses up about half of your storage space that you could have used for more planes. Other people may want to share their thoughts on this.
Just got my order, and am very happy with the trays! Thanks, Herr Oberst :)
Ordered trays for all of my bombers and am very impressed with the sturdy design and good overall quality.
Love the tray designs! Will the out of stock trays be making a return?
I was planning to cut my own trays to fill the pair of T&T boxes I’ve got, but your designs look great and will save a ton of trial and error time fitting planes to slots!
Any thoughts on tripod storage?
Looking forward to the tripod trays!
Any chance of trays for BSG?
Cheers!
