Mark,
Your stuff looks great! I do have a couple of questions...
1) Metal sheet in the bottom of the boxes and magnetic strips for the bases?
2) The beads at the rear -- some kind of tactical marking for the "owner"?
If you'd like to elaborate on either or both, I'd be interested to find out what you're doing. Looks like a good way to store your miniatures between uses, and the different colored beads are visible at some distance, so you can tell what it where... at least that's what it looks like.
Once again, great looking micro-armor! I wish I had the patience and steady enough hands to do that kind of detail work!
Regards,
Tom Stockton

Sheet metal bases from Wargame Accessories, boxes lined with sheet magnet. If magnets ever lose their hold I need new boxes, not to rebase all my armies
The beads are unit ID.
Each company has a specific color. Red or blue. One bead = 1st platoon, two beds = 2nd, three beads = 3rd platoon. Platoon CO gets a white bead, company CO gets two white beads.

Well, this completes my Soviet army - at least for now. Although I have a small handful of painted vehicles and a pack or two unpainted, these will have to wait. My initial goal of turning a motely collection into an organized, consistent force has been achieved. So that leaves me with a large German and Soviet army. I also have small UK and US armies that need the same treatment. But as those will require substantial new purchases, they are going to have to wait as I am pinching m hobby pennies for the remainder of the year after a large purchase of Kallistra Hexon terrain tiles last month!
At some point I'll do a glamour shot of the entire collection.
