[QUOTE="Maelish, post: 7978528, member: 6776785"] Hi gamers. This question is for folks who've tried to retard paint from rubbing-off or chipping on their [U]painted[/U] miniatures. I have a fair number of metal figures and a few that are plastic or resin. It was a lot of work to paint some of those beloved miniatures. But over time I've noticed that I have to do touch-ups far more often than I should. Sealer doesn't always help because they rub against foam. Taking your favorite miniatures 20 or 30 times to a game session takes a toll, far more than you'd expect. [LIST=1] [*]How do you keep the paint from rubbing or chipping off when storing? [*]What about when taking them to a game? [*]Do you store your metal figures differently than your plastic or resin figures? [*]How do you transport miniatures to a gaming location? [*]Do you use different types of foam? Soft or hard? Open cell foam or closed cell? [/LIST] I've come to believe a very soft open cell foam is the best choice. If you think back about the types of foam used in miniature boxes back in the 80's, they used this type of foam to store figures. What is your opinion? [/QUOTE]
