Custom Cases

Post by Spencerman

Here are a few pics of a custom gun case that I had made up for my .44 Automag.







Unfortunately the guy that I got it from is no longer making them (at the moment). I shall post a link on here if he does start to make them again. Not sure if the price will still be the same if he does, but this one cost me around $130.00 US Dollars, so it was not overly expensive for a mohagany gun case. It has a compartment in the lid for the documents, and he even was able to supply me with a copy of the automag manual and genuine inert .44 Automag rounds. Usually the cases display the magazine seperate from the gun, but I wanted to display the rounds instead, so I just designed my layout, down to what way I wanted the gun to point, and what sort of space I wanted the rounds at, what colour felt I wanted, and he did the rest.

Here is a picture of the same case made for a model 180



I am sure that you would all agree, it is a very nice case.

Yeah, you bet it looks good, really in the spirit of the Automag

Don't hesitate to let me know about the link if the guy start to do some again

PRESENTATION BOXES

After looking at my growing collections of modelgun & airsoft pistols, I decided to make my own presentation boxes out of old 2nd hand Cutlery boxes. This is my first attempt - and as I'm happy withthe result, I plan to make a few more!
It was a good project for those "rainy days" - and I was surpsrised how engrossed I became - and the wet days seemed to pass quickly.......

I chose a theme of German pistols of WW2: a Luger P08, a Walther PPK and a Walther P38.

First I bought a large box from a local on-line auction for 20 bucks; ripped out the guts. Then relined it with red hard felt; then decided what pistols would fit.

After placing the pistols in various positions until I was happy with what I saw; I marked out dividing areas.
Then using some scrap wood ( 5mm bamboo and scrap off cuts in the workshop) I glued pieces together to form partitions and make a dummy cartridge holder. These were covered in soft red felt. I used a fast-drying PVA glue for everything!

I had the local trophy shop make some printed metal labels using some graphics I found on the internet.
The photos show the progression and final product.

Sorry the RED doesn't digitise as well as some other colours - but you'll get the idea!

Hope some Forum members get inspired to recycle unwanted cutlery boxes too!

Very impressive!
Must be satisfying for you as well :-)

Glad you like it!

As you say, I found it very satisfying - to the extent I'm planning another. This time with GREEN felt! ''

I'll put some Airsoft '' replicas in it this time!

Very, very nice I like these...

Red does seem the ideal colour to set these off, lovely
