I'm also considering getting a RS Prop Masters Stormie armor. :)

If you can get a better on two I might just bite. I really enjoyed my first troop. I like the RS Prop Masters Set too.

Ok, here is an update on my travel tote. I have it about 95% complete. She travels (telescopic handle) and represents pretty well I think. Complete with Walker Warning Signs!



















Let me know what you think!

Thanks Serg, I might weather it and it needs a few more stickers I am waiting on, but it fits in the trunk well and protects my investment and it rolls once I get it to where I am going.

Don't weather leave it clean and let time and nature weather it for you, less work and will look more realistic.

That's awesome! The decals are rad! Even the box design itself has a Star wars look.

Thats what I thought too, the way I beat stuff around it will be totally weathered by next year this time. Thanks for the comments.

Thank You! And yes that was the look I was going for. When I saw the shape and found out it would fit everything and go in the trunk I was pretty pleased.

Most folks use the Stanley or Husky Boxes, but they were too large for this. I might try one of those for my TK outfit when I get around to it, but this sure works good for my TA Outfit.

Exactly. No need to weather it looks great as is

I knew I was coming to the right place for opinions. Thanks Serg.

The only thing I would add, if it doesn't have already, is a lock with key.

Amen to that Serg. I am trying to find something with an imperial vibe. Any ideas shoot me a link or pm.

Congrats! The box looks great, and seems you have inspired other 501st members!

As for the lock you could always get a nice secure lock and add a cool sticker/decal on it later. Lock quality is important, many years ago when I lived at the old apartment thieves entered the garages/car sheds in the area and stole various things. They couldn't get pass my solid lock, but my neighbors weren't so lucky.

I might get a sturdy metal lock and paint it red and then put a white imperial symbol on it. I don't know something that still has an "official look" and adds to it rather than is an eyesore.

The locks I use are the ones that when you lock it up you need the key, it doesn't lock automatically. This was one of the reasons those thieves could not break my garage lock, besides the protection on the locking mechanism like you see in the photo below - my lock looks like the one on the left with that black metal cover over the lock ring or how is it called:
