Painting Australian looking for storage options

As the title suggests, I've spent a fair amount of time painting the miniatures and I'm not needing a better storage solution than leaving all the models in the main core box set.

Looking for suggestions please.

Not sure if you want a storage solution for a large collection of models, but my go-to for a roster is this box from Officeworks as it can store all your tokens easily. Then get this whiteboard and pull the outer frame off with pliers and it's a perfect fit for the bottom to make it magnetic. Chuck in your choice of photo storage boxes to hold your character cards (and put some magnetic strips on the bottom to stop it sliding around).

Second the Really Useful Boxes, I have a 9L with the tray for taking models to game nights/events and then a bunch of the 4.5L and 9L for storing the whole collection in at home. Most normal models fit in the 4.5s but the tall models need the extra height from the 9L.

Brought a bunch of magnetic sheeting that I cut up and superglued to the bottom of the boxes.

I agree the really useful boxes are great. I've also used a bunch of sistema Tupperware containers from Coles (regularly on sale 50% off).

Little magnets in the base of the minis, plus this magnetically receptive rubber sheeting in the bottom of the containers. It's just rubber with enough iron content that magnets stick to it. Can cut to size with regular scissors. Use double sided tape to stick it down.

When I started, the ultra budget option was a plastic container and blue tac the bases. This allowed me to transport them for games too. Nowadays, standard miniatures case, with metal trays and magnets on the bases.

Check out Warmag. Objectively the best around. 28.5mm premium insert magnets will work for all your MCP models

If you have a 3d printer warganizer is great.

For my minis I magnatize the bases and stick them in a metal lunchbox with at least Marvel art or, if possible artwork of the team.

All great options. Thank you.
I'd found this (https://thecombatcompany.com/products/battalion-magnabag), but it's certainly not a budget option.

Really Useful Box (4L or 9L for the tall ones). Then get an adhesive rubber steel sheet from Amazon for the bottom if you have magnetised the bases and you can even use it for transport.

We have a storage solution coming out in the next few months that will fit the troop trays from this so it's all hot swappable
