VancouverTrooper

The grey would look great also...pls post a pic here I'd like to see it done up if you go that route....

Looks awesome, great job! This is exactly what I was planning for my pimped out case. But like you mentioned, it's pricey. Need to save some more Imperial Credits

I think it would if you kept the little caddy out. It's quite deep.

I went to Sign-A-Rama to have my signs made. They are a signage franchise in the US & Canada. If you want I have all the templates at the sign shop could have them made out for you and mailed out.

Yes there is lots of room. I tuck the arm and leg parts inside the chest cavity. I added a cushion on the bottom of the case. I could add more "soft stuff" around the perimeter such as camera case foam but I need to save some Imperial credits first. The HUSKY case comes with a little caddy that I use to put the smaller items such as gloves, hand guards, O2 canister, repair kit, neck collar, amp speaker, etc. See pics below with and without the caddy:

Here's my finished pimped out armour transport:

I also added carbon fiber to the latches to give them a cool effect.

I picked up the decals I had custom made. 1- VancouverTrooper 1 - TK-77824 on 3mm PVC covered with carbon fiber 2 - Imperial Cogs 8" 2 - TK-77824 labels 1- strip sample of carbon fiber

Next I had to get my TK Nameplate ordered to fit where the Husky logo is located. The logo is embossed. In order for my nameplate to fit nicely in the space I needed to cut out the Husky logo. I tried all kinds of different things to make the space flush but cutting the whole thing out was much easier. In hindsight, I would cut this out before the painting process so as not to damage the paint job AND I would do it outside or in the garage as it makes a mess :roll:

Once all the tape is removed this is what it looks like. NOTE: I didn't paint the entire transporter at the same time. I did it in stages, top lid first, then front and back, then sides (over a week or so). As I was still deciding what would look best. The pics below are the final version of paint application.

Moment of truth time, I started peeling the tape back and had my fingers and toes crossed hoping the paint had not bleed through. For the most part it was fine. But I did have to use a black sharpie to cover up some spots.

I used the Krylon Fusion - white gloss spray paint from Walmart. It dries really fast so you can do multiple coats no problem. BTW it needs multiple coats to cover the black plastic well. I kept running to the store to get more paint cans. You really need to spray in a very well ventilated space. Outdoors is the best.

So the first thing I did was decide where I was going to paint to get the best effect. I did mock-ups on my computer and decided on the layout I liked the best. Then the taping started. I used regular painters paint tape to cover the parts I wanted to keep black. This was the most TIME-CONSUMING!!

I picked up this HUSKY Mobile Tool Chest from Home Depot in Bellingham WA to transport my armour for trooping. It's a 50 gallon capacity so it is quite big, has a pull out handle and a caddy inside to hold small stuff. I decided I would make it look like something you might see on the Death Star so thought I'd share the build with you.

Yes it is the HUSKY tote. Picked it up at Home Depot in WA. I cut out the HUSKY logo and had a piece of PVC covered in Carbon Fiber with my TK ID. Then glued the new logo back on the lid. Here are the pics of my build at various stages: http://www.badlands.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6269

That looks awesome too, did you have the image airbrushed on or is it a decal?

He's sad because I cut off his feet to get the armour up his leg. Elbows are next. Poor bugger

I could I guess but the labor involved would make it rich. Contact me if you want to discuss further.

Funny you should mention that.....I found a company that would do the foam custom job inside. But I need to save some imperial credits first! It's very expensive but would be so awesome.

It's called HUSKY, from Home Depot (Bellingham WA)

Yes because it's on a mannequin and they don't fit on him, but they fit on me!

Here is a pic of the custom signs I had made. Before I put them on.

I designed this TK Armour Transport case to use while I troop. Hope you like it! It's a 50 gallon rolling case with pull out arm. I painted it and had custom decals made and have area in Carbon Fiber. It's large enough to fit everything and then some. Also fits nicely in my Imperial Hybrid [prius]

Here is the TK Armour Transport that I designed:
