I cut out the HUSKY logo and had a piece of PVC covered in Carbon Fiber with my TK ID. Then glued the new logo back on the lid. Here are the pics of my build at various stages: http://www.badlands.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6269 Edited June 5, 2014 by VancouverTrooper 1 Quote

wreckdivr Posted September 28, 2015 Report Posted September 28, 2015 This is seriously cool. Looks like this is a Stanley box, correct? I am going to borrow some of your ideas, but I think I am going to make mine either more white or more black, because I keep thinking of a referee when I look at yours. lol Very well done, my friend. The CF touches are really nice, as well. 1 Quote
VancouverTrooper Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks, It's actually a HUSKY rolling tool bin.<br><br> It's easy to do if you put the time into it. Quote
Tkdaddy Posted January 4, 2016 Report Posted January 4, 2016 That is awesome! I think I might do that to Quote
kman[TK] Posted May 20, 2016 Report Posted May 20, 2016 Glad I found this thread again! I finally have my Husky box, and I remembered seeing a really well done paint job on one. I'm totally stealing the general paint scheme. I hope it's seen as the tribute it is intended rather than theft! Quote
Tktonny Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 This is going on my list of things to do. Boy is this list getting long. Quote
bmth chris[TK] Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 Following! Might tweek a couple things when I get my box. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
kman[TK] Posted May 21, 2016 Report Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I did the lid last night. Looks so awesome! Pro-tip: Use an exacto to put a cut line along the tape, because even with the good painters tape (the green Frog tape) some of the lines came up a little chunky for the ones I didn't do that. (the first couple and one or two bits later that I missed in my rush) Hopefully they'll touch up later reasonably well, if not, well, I'm sure it's going to get beat up over time anyway. I had a brand new Husky box that I need for a troop in a couple of hours (I'd best get packing, actually), so I didn't have time to mask and paint the lower part of the box, but the lid suffices for now. I'm loving this! Edited May 21, 2016 by kman Quote
VancouverTrooper Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) You know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. Looking forward to to seeing pics of your progress. I painted my husky box some time ago and I still get lots of compliments Edited May 21, 2016 by VancouverTrooper Quote

I painted my husky box some time ago and I still get lots of compliments All I have done so far is the lid, but here are a couple of pix from that. Next up, more masking so I can paint the bottom part! Do you recall how large the imperial logo was that you used on the front face of the box? It looks like the perfect size. Was it from a 501st sales thread, or just eBay or something? Quote
T K[501st] Posted May 22, 2016 Report Posted May 22, 2016 Hmm.. I might need to do this to my own box.. 1 Quote
kman[TK] Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 Finally had time to finish masking and paint the bottom of my box yesterday. Naturally I ran out of paint in the middle and had to dash to Home Depot to get more, ARGH. It's still not my best work, and I'm really torn about fixing it up and making it "perfect", but then I remember it's just a gear box that's going to get bashed around, so maybe I shouldn't spend too much time on it? The trials and tribulations of OCD continue, LOL. Masked: Painted: Now I'm waiting on Cog and TKID die-cut labels from R4ZORBL4DE's sales thread, and to make a final decision about the metal box tag from the 501st Merch sale, and it'll be mostly done. Mostly, because of course now I have to figure out just how I'm going to pack this thing inside. (I'd like to do something nice and organized, as opposed to just sort of tossing stuff in there barely enough order that it still fits.) 1 Quote
T K[501st] Posted May 24, 2016 Report Posted May 24, 2016 Gorgeous paint job! I plan on doing the same thing, but with a different paint scheme. Pics within a week or so. 2 Quote

My imperial cog is 8 inches in diameter. I had it printed at a local sign shop. All I did was give them a high res image I found online. 1 Quote

VirtualCaitlin[501st] Posted June 4, 2016 Report Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks for inspiring me! Here is my trunk (as you can see my armor is not quite finished, I am currently a DZ working on my TK). 4 Quote
VancouverTrooper Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Posted June 4, 2016 Looks great! I like the foam padding on the inside too! Quote
