Miniature briefcases

These business card holders shaped like briefcases are available all over the place. They make an ideal 1:6 metal briefcase.



If you buy them as a business card holder, they can be found for less than $4.

1:6 sellers are trying to scam people by charging $12-$15 for the same thing.

These things are so versatile that every 1:6 hobbyist should get some. This thread is to collect ideas on how to use them and to showcase your figures' briefcases.

Good catch, brah.

I could use a couple of these.

Thank you.

Here are some of mine.

Mini Nuke


IED Bomb


Gangster


Radar. This is loosely based on an ARPA X Marine Radar control console.

These really are super cool, and a great 1/6 resource. I love that people are jacking up the price reselling, but you can just get them for their intended purpose for so much less. Appreciate the heads up on that. And I love all the ways you've used them, especially the explosives.

Ooooh these are great! I’ve added one to my watch list on eBay!

Gold!


Cash

James Bond has one

These are very cool and thanks for all the links. I suppose that could have gone into the "useful items" thread.

Awesome.

I thought of that but didn't want to clutter it up with all of these pics of the same thing. They are so versatile that they deserve a thread of their own.

They look pretty cool! Looks like Bond had a good run at the casino!

CHEERS!

Diamonds

Are Forever!

CHEERS!

Thanks for the heads up on those shazzdan!

great suggestions for uses, I am thinking of suitcase gun mod, not sure how to do it though

The trick is to find a gun that is both the right size and can be disassembled into several parts. Perhaps one of the 1:6 carbines made by 4D might work.

I had thought of that, but still not sure about the case trigger mechanism though, will work it out one day

Here is Bond's other briefcase.
