Mainly this week, aside from the arena in a tin, I've been working on trunks, suitcases and hat boxes. I need some for my interwar dabbles in VBCW, but thought they might prove useful for a lot of periods from colonial to post ww2, from pulp to wild west, etc. I've put a lot of effort into these, mainly because they were great fun and drew incredulity from my family in both time, effort and detail - and possibly some concern over whichever disorder they believe this signifies.

I'm just about to put these into rubber and with the weather being chilly they'll take far to long to cure, so expect to seen a test cast of these tomorrow.

Fine work there!

I hope we can purchase these later on?

Nice Phil! I would certainly pick up a few if you're selling them.

exceptional work!
I'd be interested too

also in You specifying the research You have put into it, meaning I can't recognize 100% what what is and what period it comes from

Really, really nice!

I'm sure my Victorian types can make use of those trunks, if not the suitcases, nicely done!

Thanks chaps. They will be available, hopefully from next week. I've evolved to painting stuff before I sell them and that might take some time, but should you want them before that no problem. I should start casting them tomorrow.

Research was really simple thanks to google image search, found images which fitted what I felt was right and then ran with them. My favourite bits were the buckles on straps around one of the suitacases and one of the trunks - they seemed impossible when I started but turned out much simpler than impossible, and the padlock on a trunks. I had to hold back from putting both straps and padlocks on them all I really did.

And I will be able to recognize better when You have painted them

These look fantastic! How did you make them?

They're plastic card, rod, strip and a little bit of milliput and liquid greenstuff. Basically I've made a box, filled it with milliput to be solid and then decorated them with the details. Very fiddly but great fun.

Cor! Not bad at all.

Looking splendid.

How much will they cost, and can we see a pic next to a couple of figures?

6milPhil · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2013, 12:20:08 AM »

Don't know cost until I've cast them as weight is a big factor in their price, and yes there'll be a figure in the picture of them painted, although the 1cm gridded cutting mat they're on in that photo is a clue to their size.
