World Cup Game #13

Sometimes a 0-0 scoreline really doesn't capture the nature of the game because this was anything but slow and/or defensive. Both Cote d'Ivoire and Portugal threw almost everything they had into the contest but they were so closely matched that they cancelled each other out. It may have been different if Drogba could have played the whole game and at 100% but it was not to be.

Not about sport really.

Completely unrelated, catalyst2, but does your miniatures crowd have someplace they get their protective foam to store their miniatures in?

Preferably it's already cut into the little blocks so you can remove the bits to customise storage for your model.

It would be good to set up something for our little biplanes from Wings of War, it's a nuisance getting them out of the cardboard boxes every game.

Depending on the precision desired and whether you have a got wire knife, there are two main options. Bunnings sells a lot of high density foam strips (mainly for insulation and sound-proofing around doors, I think) so you can buy those and then cut them up with your hot wire gun - that's the cheap option.

The other, pricier option is to go to Tactics and, over in the back right corner of the shop, they have Battlefoam insert trays - exactly as you described above so that you can just pull out the pre-cut squares to the size and shape you want. Those trays, as good as they are, are wicked expensive though so the cost will mount up if you need lots of trays.
