Yet another armor packing ... into a suitcase (75 x 50 x 34 cm / 120L)


Recommended Posts

I also like to post the way I'm packing my trooper case having everything but helmet and blaster inside. I hope this will inspire other troopers out there. In order to get everything packed I basically decieded to strap the armor using snaps and elastics. The suitcase I'm using is a hard shell suitcase, measuring 75 x 50 x 34 cm. Sit back and get some popcorn popcornsmiley84ui0.gif

One thing to mention: The bottom of the suitcase has rolls. On the pics it is at the right side ... and now enjoy ...
 


First the Kidney and Butt Plate (can be left assembled)

Shoulder bells (put together)

First complete cover

Back plate

Chest plate - it is important that the shoulder stripes "flow freely"

The shoulder straps have to show towards the top of the suitcase so that there is no weight on them when moving the suitcase using the rolls (at the

bottom) Be careful when carrying and be sure the chest plate is always on top. Otherwise the straps might break apart.
 

Ab plate

Biceps and forearms (left and right) - put together

Only helmet and blaster can't be packed in ...

... but there's a solution at least for the helmet ;-)

Nice job! Love the suitcase.....Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks a lot. We had a little power failure today and I decieded to do someting "offline". So I took the parts of my TM and tried to get them into the suitcase where my "old" FX resides ;) The suitcase is a "Hauptstadtkoffer" Type "Alex". It's the only white one I found which is that large (120L) ... :) ... The stickers are custom made.

Dude, this couldn't have come at a better time.  I'm trying to get everything in order for my first troop  coming up in a month and this was

something I was stressing about.  Since Christmas made me broke and can't get that home depot box people are getting, I have a good

size suitcase I could use in the mean time to practice placement.

 

 

Thanks for posting.
