Ok, stop me if I'm being too nerdy here ....
... but I was thinking it would be kinda cool to have a replica of the aluminium flight case used in Ronin to use as a toolcase, travel case or whatever. Found this after a little research (images below also taken from this website): http://www.thx-trailer.com/replica/ronin/ronin.htm Searching on various flight case manufacturer's websites, I can't find anything quite the same. There are some that are a similar style and size, but nothing quite the same, especially not with the same style combination locks. It's quite common to have flight cases custom made, so I'm considering contacting a manufacturer to see if it's something they would be able to replicate. A one-off would probably cost a few hundred at least, so I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in owning one? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Nice…just make sure the paint doesn't come off!

![]() ![]() Took me a while to realise what you meant there. I assume you're referring to the part where he (Sam/De Niro, I think it was) notices his hand was silver after handling the case. At which point, he quickly throws the case (under the nearest car) and it promptly explodes. I never did understand that bit; maybe I missed something. How did he know that the silver paint (or whatever it was) meant that the case was likely to explode?

The original case looks like one designed to transport vinyl? Must still be available from dj equipment suppliers or retro stuff on eBay?
