Title: replacement flight case foam
Post by: BlueFlyer on February 16, 2014, 11:51:52 AM
I bought a rugged flight case years and years ago, it came filled with a big chunk of that "pick away" cubed foam stuff. I tried my hand at making shapes to fit my needs, but eventually it looked like crap and I opted for a hard cover over the top of everything.

I want to revisit the case based GS but can't work out whether it would be worth buying another case (smaller/different design) or just finding some more foam for my current case.

thing is, I can't find any replacement foam anywhere so I may be forced to get a new case.

Anyone know where to get the replacement foam from?

It's called "pick n pluck" foam for future ref :)

I've been looking for similar type foam but the prices are stooooooopidly steep!

I need 2 blocks of 12cm deep by 44cm x 60cm if anyone has access to a foam factory that will give away block samples for free... along with a GT40 or a Mustang?
