Teenymate case for grandson

[tazkmar]

My grandson asked for a new case to store his tiny teenymate action figures.  and quote
it needs football, basketball, hockey, soccer, baseball, wrestling
and stadium seats

I used magnets instead of latches to keep it closed
I used laser printed images in reverse and mod lodge to clue it to the case. 

the case itself was hit with multiple layers of different color stains to try and give it a aged look.

I originally tried to use barrow hinges but they didn't line up 100% and it just didn't make me happy
so I went with a standard hinge that covered the original barrow holes.

For the stadium seats I cut the stands out of 2x4 with multiple passes over the table saw for each step.
I used magnets on the stand and on the bleachers. works great they snap right into place and hold without moving.

when I showed my grandson the bleacher he was going nuts.  then I showed him the second set and told him why pay for one set when you can have 2 sets for the price of two.

I like the "aged" look of the case.
Looks very authentic.
Great job.  [smile]

Wow, that's the ultimate custom case!  The use of magnets in the bleachers is brilliant.

Your grandson is lucky to have you as a grandfather!

Thanks for sharing.
