Magnetic sign material is a thin, maggnetised plastic sheet stuff about
1mm thick. In the UK, a little man in shrewsbury by the name of
magnetic displays sells the stuff by the bucketload to wargamers. And
he also sells something called steel paper - a very thin sheet of steel
on an adhesive-backed paper - thin enough to cut with a craft knife or
household scissors.

Wherever you are in the world, check out the local wargamers or
wargames-related press - the historical players tend to use this idea
for basing troops, and may be able to tell you of a supplier closer to
home.

That's what worries me. I can base up the Titans to fit in the wargames
metal toolbox, but its big and cumbersome in relation to the rather
elegant video cassette boxes. The collectable card box sounds about
the best idea so far.
