SIX DAYS: KR MULTICASE & RECREATING THE BATTLE!

KR Multicase is a premiere sponsor of the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation - and with good cause. When large, unique armies have models in need of special accommodations (custom foam) in strong, utilitarian transports (cases), KR Multicase is the best in the market!  Even more so since these armies must ship to the winners anywhere in the world in the safest travel products available.

These donated bags are retail valued at over $1200!
Special thanks to Daryl Elms at KRMulticase.
