Hey guys, im not sure if im in the right forum for this, but I'd like to share with you the project I completed.

One quick thing before i get started: I am in no way trying to offend any miniature case companies, I am an owner of a battlefoam bag, so I know the quatlity of their bags.

For the past year I've been thinking about getting a case for my orks, I looked around at all the miniature cases on the market. I seriously considered buying another battlefoam case when i realised i can get the same thing for $40, not $140.

The case i used was actually a suitcase (With a hard inner shell) for $15, the case is roughly 3' by 2.5' by 1.5'. This is about the size of a battlefoam pack 432. This suitcase is just your ordinary suitcase, so if you wanted to make one, you could probably use an old suitcase lying around the house. The case i bough has a nice zip on the front; great for holdin gmy codex, rulebook, dice etc.

I bought the foam from a discount foam supplier for $25. $10 for the bottom layer and $15 for the main foam. I then cut the foam accordingly and glued the top to the bottom.

The results:













C&C appreciated.

Use those sharpened metal cans ( for circle ) i guess custom rectangle for everything else

Good, idea, i might do that for my deffcoptas, so they can sit in the case WITH the blade.

lol, Just keep in mind i own a battlefoam case, and am a huge supporter for Romeos show (40k radio)

Funny thing is, battlefoam bags are made of kevalar. The only real difference is that mine cannot stop a bullet!

Really nice job! I'll have to try it myself!

Looks great man. I'll have to do something similat for my army

It was a place called a discount foam supplier.

But I'm guessing you have none of those nearby. I shop you CAN use would be a pool shop. When i was looking for foam I saw a few pool shops that stocks this kind of foam, although the foam store i went to was alot cheaper. Hope this has helped.
