Pimp Your Army Transport

Most CBT games have miniatures and unless you like broken minis in your collection, you probably have invested in a figure carrier.

There are more than a few good brands out there.  I personally use Army Transport for my ‘Mech carrying needs.

Lest onlookers be confused as to what game I roll with, I added a Classic Battletech patch to make it obvious.  I picked mine up at GenCon, but you can get yours at the Battle Shop for $10 each.  They have available a Classic Battletech logo as well as a BattleCorps patch.

It isn’t the biggest development out there but it is nice to have to opportunity to customize your gear.  If you are planning to make a purchase from the Battle Shop anyways, it’s a nice item to throw in for the hell of it.

In order to attach the patch without getting too crazy, go out and pick up a bottle of fabric glue at any reputable craft or hobby store.  Fabric glue is able to move and stretch without cracking.  That is important when you conscider how much jostling your typical hobby bag can take under normal conditions.

Make sure you don’t apply too much.  You will need to wipe away any excess that ends up leaking out the sides.  It will show when it dries even if the bottle says it “dries clear”.
