I am in the process of making a case

By MJWaters84, in Fan Creations

I saw a little while ago blue prints floating around for an "Arkham Koffer." I am pleased to say that I have started my own version of this and plan on having it done for this year's Gen Con. So far, all I have is a box and a lid with no dividers on the inside.

When it is finished, I am going to spray paint it black and find some way to put the Elder Sign on it. Underneath of that, I am going to write "Property of Miskatonic University".

The original prints had a hinge on the back and made it look very formal. I am going the opposite direction as the game does not promote a sense of class and pretention, but rather one of dread and insanity. I am looking to find ways to age the box and make it very... unique. Around the edges, in order to secure the lid to the drawer, I thought about buying some old padlocks (the kind that Houdini would have used) and keeping a skeleton key to unlock the locks around it. I think that would make it very Indiana Jones-esque.

Has anyone else done this?

Marc,

I've been involved in designing and crafting display pieces for the past few years, though I've seen some chatter on bgg about storage pieces. How's your project coming along?

Cheers,

Joe
