Post your Pelican case setup!

[276]

Looks like th pick n pluck to me, no matter how many times i get a pelican case i can never get that perfect.

The trick is to not overpluck it. I just got a new 1510NF to use as a carry-on bag for my trip to England. I also got the 1519 organizer with it - I love it!

Meganoggin,

Another quick question, did you use the pick n pluck foam? It looks like the lights fit the foam perfectly.

Yep, pick & pluck, as jchoo says, dont take too much out, you can then nestle the item in and the foam will conform to the object.. The best advice I can give is take your time and remove small amounts of foam, then check for fit and remove more if you need to - good luck

Just for you! The smaller one is further up the thread - note the space for more gear :devil:

By the way - nice set up Kiwi SG :thumbsup:

From the left we have Q5 with smooth reflector, MC-E with light orange peel reflector :devil: , R2 with smooth reflector and finally R2 with light orange peel reflector. They are real versatile aren't they!

I was only able to get a Q5 smooth reflector
I installed a Diamond Dragon but the beam aint pretty ..... it desparately
needs an OP reflector.
If you ever decide to sell one of the OP versions let me know

My first Pelican cases were yellow (1400, 1500, 1010), black (1120) and orange (1120). After that I bought 4 OD-green 1200 cases from lighthound and finally got to the point I couldn´t stand the boring yellow and so on. So I bought three cans of Krylon Camouflage spray paint (khaki, olive, brown / totally matte) and started painting my 1400 as well as both 1120 and the 1010. Unfortunatelly the khaki was empty very quick (lasted for the 1400 and one 1120). I used the khaki for the complete case and used olive and brown one after another with some leafs to get the camouflage look. I am really pleased how it turned out, at least with the khaki (the 1120 on the right is a little too dark in person).

Now I have to wait a week until the paint gets chip resistant until I can put them to use again. If it holds up good I´ll get two additional khaki cans and will paint my 1500case too.

Very creative Eric :twothumbs

Hey that looks really good, any special painting techniques ??

 

[Eric242]

First I painted the case completly with khaki. After that I used olive followed by brown. The leafs should not touch the cases and the spray paint should be aimed directly at the branch. Otherwise you´ll have too much darker paint covering the lighter colours and you won´t be able to have new leaf outlines in these parts. I used the brown only very little because it would cover too much of the other colours. I´d say using khaki for the complete case and olive to apply the leaf outline camouflage should be enough after all, you don´t have to buy the brown too.

Since I am not the creative one but only a copycat you could have a look here: http://www.krylon.com/projects/sports-recreation/camo-4wd-sidekick/ That´s where I got the idea from.

Nice setup.

Never thought I'd see Dorcy Super 1-watt lights in a Pelican case.
I think they are great little lights...I also have 3 - all modded with SSC P4 U-bin stars.
