Transporting figures in model making safely thanks to magnets

Dear magnet-shop team,
I purchased a small quantity of neodymium magnets from you this May. I recently had the opportunity to use them. I am thrilled with how well I was able to create my carrying case using your magnets. The magnets can be glued precisely, are the necessary identical size, and possess remarkable strength.
I come from the model making and tabletop gaming community. A major focus of this hobby is designing and painting figures and bringing them to group meetings. Most of the time, such models can be easily transported in foam inserts.
However, as soon as a figure exceeds certain dimensions or has delicate and protruding limbs, transport in foam inserts becomes problematic. Even if the models fit into the space, they are subject to vibrations that can damage sensitive models.
A simple case from the hardware store provided a solution for me. I covered it with iron plates and fitted it with iron supports inside. The magnets can be easily attached with superglue and fit precisely under the figures' bases. In this way, I was able to make dozens of models transportable in a short time. The magnets are strong enough that the figures no longer move on their own or even fall off their bases when being packed and unpacked. These two pictures give you an idea of ​​how much space I have for models when I no longer need foam padding and how well the magnets actually hold.
