New Products - Skirmish / Model Transport Trays


The likelihood that you will be stationed on the same table for a full 3 or 4 game tournament is very small. Eventually you are going to have to move to another table. Now the problem, grab the models by the handfull and move them usually scratching the paint you spent hours painting, take 10 minutes to put you army back in the case and move it then scramble to get it all unpacked before the next round starts or uses a book or other make shift tray to move them. Well here is a new option, custom cut and engraved transport trays. The trays are available sized from 5x7" for low model count games through a maximum size of 9x13" for larger model counts. Design is fully customizable with you chosing the size and layout for all the models. We also offer a few standard layouts. All trays include carry handles and have a soft EVA foam backing  to help eliminate sliding. As always custom engraving is available for all designs. Prices start at $8 for the smallest tray and go through $20 for the largest tray with pre-cut magnet holes for safer storage.

Sidebar - It is not all gaming all the time


Just a quick sidebar while I get the new products into the photo booth for pictures. This is an example of some of the other things I do with the laser engraver. This is a grey scale image that I engraved on a small piece of pine. The only requirement for this kind of work is the original image needs to have a clean background that has a decent amount of contrast with the subject. Isn't custom work fun.

Adepticon is over now and I learned allot about gamers


Just got back form Adepticon and it is time to start releasing some new stuff. I decided that I needed to ask more gamers what they really want to see and their thoughts on the existing products I have been making. Talk about a loaded question. Everyone I spoke with loved the stuff I was already doing and had great suggestions on new stuff to add. Most were great and doable, a few were a little grand and way to difficult to accomplish, and their was one that, well, lets just say there are some things I will not be making at any cost. On second thought, if we are talking a number followed by 6 zeros, and the check clears we can talk.

Back on target. I spoke with allot of gamers to get their ideas on what they would like to see. The biggest thing I heard from them were low prices and customization. Both are things that are close to my idea for the direction of Burn In Designs. Next was broken flight stand complaints and finally stuff for the pro painter.

So with that information I started designing and making prototypes. So coming soon I will be showing off, new things like custom fit vehicle flight stands, miniatures carry trays, new marker shapes, custom turn and damage counter, paint and brush tray systems and even carry cases for those wonderful Crystal Brush and Golden Demon minis. So watch this space because big things are coming.
