Any idea where I would be able to get a custom miniatures gaming case made? I want it to look like something out of the 41st millenium, with purity seals, metal casing and scrollwork.

Your favourite welder/local blacksmith should be able to knock you something up bearing in mind that a lot of the kind of stuff you are talking about is imported premade from places like India and costs a few pence per piece, failing that you can get lightish metal boxes easy enough. I have 3 that are old document safes that used to go under the bed, your local stockholder will carry all the scrollwork, rosettes (Think purity seal when painted correctly!) and anything else you could possible want, a cheap welding set will be ok for what you want, have a practice and off you go.

It'll mean more if you make it rather than pay (a small fortune) for someone else to make it for you.

DIY is quite appealing but I live in Central London so there isn't quite a local village smith/welder to go to. Any ideas where I could find one?

Army surplus or something like that could have really nice crates boxes etc. Give it a cheeky paintjob and attach some seals etc
Order some foam from kr and you'll be good to go.

Straight out of Google, should give you a head start, if you also try the BOC website for their welding suppliers they are often fabricators etc or will certainly be able to point you in the right direction.

Might be worth looking at some form of ammo box etc (about a tenner ex ebay) and you could stencil on the aquila and your favourite IG unit. A much cheaper option.

Toolboxes.

Might need a little more work than something custom made, but is probably cheaper (not counting the time you put into it).
