Machinimax Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 While I await the arrival of my armor, I wanted to work on a little side project for my blaster. I was watching Tested on YouTube with Adam Savage one day. In the episode I saw, he was working on a custom display case for his Blade Runner blaster. He wanted to design it to look like something you would take to the firing range. Since I plan on trooping one day, that made something come to mind. Why don't I do something similar? So I decided to make my own E-11 carrying case, something that looked cool and would keep my blaster safe during travel. After numerous measurements, sketches, and planning I came up with this... It started off as a big sheet of 1/4" plywood and has worked its way to something awesome. I still need to apply finish but other than that it is fully assembled and ready to go. The blaster is seated within "pluck & pull" foam so it can't move around. To ensure it stays seated, I laid a piece of egg crate foam in the lid. Once I apply the finish, I'm hoping to make some decals on a vinyl cutter including the Imperial logo and some warning labels in Aurebesh. As I keep working this I will update you guys here. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Looks good. I was thinking of doing something similar. I had a pelican case that ended up be too small. It needs a good paint job and imperial logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog44[TK] Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Great custom work on your case! I like how you have the magazine packed separately. I am sure it is to reduce the width of the case but it looks like your are packed and ready for combat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
