The cases/carriers look good too. A few strategically placed holes, and some 3D printed chocks... Nuthin's goin' nowhere.
A little paint would go a long way. Just too lazy to fully disassemble.
As for the cases, yeah I need to finish a couple chocks/blocks and it'll be complete.

Those transport cases look sweet! Am i seeing that they can stack onto the wheeled one kind of like shipping containers?
Stack is the goal. The bolt heads holding the top panel on are a little too big to align well into the case above. Never ordered the alignment wings that should extend from the sides to align the upper case.

since you mention shipping containers, some round pucks in the corners would key in really well and be super clean looking. If I have some scrap aluminum I should try and whip up a set in the lathe.
