Hi there,
sorry, no new stuff yet, I just wanted to say thank you!
My donation goal has been reached, a big thank you to all my backers! I’d love to show you some photos of my new pen tablet, but just a few days before the goal was reached my desktop monitor gave in. That was a real bummer, since I don’t have enough money to spare at the moment, but then I realized that thanks to you I could actually afford a new one. Therefore I had to use a significant amount of the money to buy a new monitor, the rest was just enough to order the Imperial Raider, the last X-Wing epic ship I was missing. I don’t play epic, but now I can give it a try to build an EpicHangar for this beauty.
I won’t start collecting money for the pen tablet again (at least for now, bad karma…), but instead I decided to collect for a new desktop PC. My current one is rather old-fashioned, which I realized upon visiting the computer store looking for a new monitor and testing some state-of-the-art stuff. Gosh. My workflow would benefit even more from a new PC than from the pen tablet. Therefore I decided to add a new goal.
Concerning new boxes
I’m still waiting for my X-Wing and Armada shipment, but thanks to a buddy I will get my hands on wave 10 X-Wing ships tomorrow morning at the local backery. Expect new X-Wing hangars soon. The first new CollectorBox is nearly done, and here’s a preview of my first draft for the Tantive IV EpicHangar. Yes, it’s a bit messy. Actually, it’s the second one, the first one was done in my mind… Don’t know if it works out, but I’m confident.
Thanks again, not only to my backers but to my all fans out there, you’re really encouraging!

Sorry about your monitor, SirWilli. 🙁
Regarding X-Wing Wave X, some of those mini-maneuver cards are going to be interesting… TIE Striker most notably.
Thanks, but I have to say thanks because I was able to afford a new one, thanks to all my donors!
And you’ve noticed that my MiniManeuverCards already include wave x? And yes, the TIE Striker card was… annoying…
Hi,
I am pretty new to X Wing and found your site when looking for cool ways to store all my ships. I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic boxes, I have built a couple and am off to print the rest at work tomorrow 😉
If it isn’t too much work would it be possible to put 2 copies of the smaller ships ( X Wing’s etc) onto 1 page to save on cardboard?
Many thanks again and I will see what I can do to help towards your new computer.
Steve
Hey Steve,
thank you! 🙂 Glad I could be of assistance.
Concerning multiple copies per page: I’m afraid this is far too much work, check out my old page for some hints on how to get along with that:

Or flip the page you just printed to print the next box on the bottom of the page. 😉
Hi,
Thanks for the reply and the link to the hints. I will have a play in Photoshop and see what I can come up with.
Cheers
Steve
Be sure to download the PNG archive, should be easy to build your personal print page with those files!
Hi
I love your stuff.
I’ve started to play star wars armada, and I was wondering If you’re working on the squadron 2 packs and or phoenix home expansions? Just wondering
Keep up the good work
Paul
Hi Paul,
thanks for the praise!
I’m merely waiting for new Armada ships to arrive, takes a bit longer than expected…
Hi there,
I was wondering how I could store my new collection of X-Wing models when I found out about your Hangars. Pretty amazing!
I started to print, cut and put together the boxes. Everything looks and fits pretty well.
Found out 2 – 3 measurement errors though on the PDF
B-Wing (both) way too small height around 10mm , width around 4mm
TIE-EO widht is ok but height could be 1-2mm more, top doesnt close
Gearbox for TIE Fighter and EO is a bit to thin, maneuver wheels doesnt fit in, box overloaded already with base and pilot plates.
Would be great if you could take a look at it, really love your hangars!

Hey Swen,
hmm, strange, all those boxes you mention work fine for me and never heard of problems with them before. The B-wing for example must be angled when putting into the hangar. The GearBoxes have a very tight fit, have you checked here for instructions on how to fill it?

And you can see a photo of the B-wing in its box here:

Hope this helps!
Hey,
Looking forward to seeing your new releases! Do you have an ETA for your next release?
Great job!
Scott
Thanks!
Hopefully only a few days, alls MicroHangars are ready for final prototype assembly, GearBoxes shouldn’t take that long. But since I my real job is keeping me very busy at the moment, I can’t make any promises…
Hallo!
Ich habe vermutlich einen Fehler beim MC80 Heimat Eins Hangar gefunden, das Logo und das Bild vom Schiff ist auf der Vorderseite (die mit der Aussparung zum öffnen des Deckels) falsch herum. Ist mir aufgefallen nach dem ich den Hangar fertig gebastelt habe.
Vielen Dank für Deine Arbeit!
Danke, kommt auf meine Liste!
