Here's a breakdown of what each tray consists of:

All movement trays (i.e. Raw MDF, Magnetic and Magflex) come with One (1) Laser cut 3mm MDF base plate, as well as a 4mm mitred lip (three pieces, one being for the front and two for the sides). You can glue the lip in place with either super glue (for an instant fit) or PVA wood glue (for a slower, more controlled bond).

'Full Lip 4 Sides' Option If you want your tray to have all four sides included (front, back, left and right), please change this option to 'Yes'. If 'No' is selected, you will receive the standard three pieces for the front and sides of the tray. Please note that this option will add 10% to the price of the tray.

Magnetic Trays also come with a 0.6mm thick Flexible Magnetic Steel insert (adhesive-backed). You don't need any glue to attach it.

PLEASE NOTE: Magnetic movement trays are not supplied with magnets and should only be used with metal-based models or plastic bases with the likes of washers glued under them. Due to the polarity zones/fields across the magnetic sheet, magnets cant be used as they will always want to be pulled into these zones, thus leaving your regiments unorganised. If you would like to use a 'Magnet and Tray' system, please refer to the Magflex version.

Magflex Trays also come with a 0.7mm Flexible Steel insert (non-magnetised) with adhesive backing. No glue is required for fixing. Add to that enough 3mm x 2mm Disc Rare Earth Magnets for the appropriate amount of figures that fit on your selected size tray. Larger bases going on the tray will receive more magnets per base, i.e. 20mm & 25mm 1 magnet per base, 40mm and 50mm 4 magnets per base, 50mm x 25mm 2 magnets per base. Glue your magnets to the hollow underside of your plastic base and sit them on your tray, and you'll then be ready to move your models around the table without them falling over.

Magflex Trays & Base Kits also come with a 0.7mm Flexible Steel insert (non-magnetised) with adhesive backing. No glue is required for fixing. Enough bases of the appropriate size for your selected tray dimensions. All bases are Laser cut 3mm MDF, with or without slots, as chosen from the above pull-down menu. Each base has enough holes cut to insert 3mm x 3mm x 3mm cube Rare Earth Magnets. You'll also receive 3mm x 3mm x 3mm Cube Rare Earth Magnets for the appropriate amount of bases that fit on your selected size tray. Larger bases supplied with the tray get more magnets per base, i.e. 20mm & 25mm 1 magnet per base, 40mm and 50mm 4 magnets per base, 50mm x 25mm 2 magnets per base.

Skirmish Trays do not include any of the above components. Instead, they are supplied with Two (2) Laser cut 3mm MDF plates, the top piece being cut with holes to fit your miniature bases and designed for units that can move in loose formation (up to 1/2 inch apart). There is a 1/4 inch of MDF material around the outside edge. Blank bases are included in case you want to fill unused holes. Place some matching scenery on them to disguise the holes from view. Also best used when removing casualties and plugging the hole. Glue the top piece to the bottom, and your tray is ready to have details added.

Conversion Trays like Skirmish Trays above are supplied with Two (2) Laser cut 3mm MDF plates, the top piece being cut with holes to fit your miniature bases. Designed for miniatures mounted on round bases but need a square rank and file formation to play. Or can also be used for model transport. Blank MDF bases are included in case you want to fill unused holes. Place some matching scenery on them to disguise the holes from view. Also best used when removing casualties and plugging the hole. Glue the top piece to the bottom, and your tray is ready to have details added.

MDF Movement Trays are a great way to deploy your regimental troops on the gaming table. Easy to assemble and use, you can also detail your trays with the same scenics as your miniature bases. At its simplest, MDF Movement Trays eliminate the need to march troops across the table one at a time. At their most complex, you can also have magnetised models that stick to your tray, eliminating any chance of your precious models falling over and damaging their awesome paint jobs.

• Precision Laser Cut 3mm MDF (Medium Density Fiber Board). MDF is dense, flat, stiff, and has no knots like grained plywood. Its fine particles provide dimensional stability without a predominant "grain" (as with lumber). Unlike most plywood, MDF contains no voids and delivers crisp edges. Use PVA Wood glue to attach your favourite scenery materials.
• Rare Earth Magnet technology lets each magnetised miniature 'click' into place onto the tray (see Maglfex or Magnetic Trays for more details on magnetising your models and trays). Each miniature can easily be added/removed to simulate casualties or healed units.
• They are easily assembled. Just glue and go.
• Durable, hard-wearing, and can handle the knocks of any gaming session.
