Apache 2800 for 400 chips, proud of it! (1 Viewer)

[Booshme]

Hey guys, I love geeking out over cases and I got an Apache 2800 and set it up to fit 400 chips for my smaller spur of the moment games. It has room for two decks and at least 10 plaques, plus my buttons and a couple vapes. The guys and I all vape at the table and I’m hoping it’ll get it a laugh once I show it. I used 6 layers of PlastiDip, and could have fit more plaques if I designed them to be stored vertically, but I prefer this aesthetic and we have yet to break the plaques in anyways.

I hope you guys like it! I bought it and got it shipped for 30 bucks, totally worth it and if I can get another deal I’ll probably buy one for my friend’s bday.

Did you use the spray PlastiDip? I have some apaches and havent plasti-dipped them yet. Any advice?

Thank you!

I sure did! Go really light and evenly spray just one coat at a time, the first 3 layers wait 10-15 minutes between each. Then for the next 2-3 wait 20-30. You can do more if you please, I've seen videos on YouTube of guys using them for guns and they spay like a dozen layers, and it looks pretty sturdy. 6-7 is good enough for what I got going on, though, I did it while doing chores and woke up to a nice and ready set!

Did you do both the top and bottom foams? and you just plucked the foam first to fit the set up you wanted and then plastidipped once the foam was how you wanted? Once plastidip the foams can't be further modified- right?

The first case I did, the black one, I did every surface top and bottom. No complaints!

For the Orange Apache I only did the outside, top, and inside surfaces on the top layer of foam. This was AFTER plucking them.

I think it can be further modified, just cut with an exacto knife or something and continue your plucking ways, don't be afraid to pluck around a little
Oh, and something I did that was pretty cool: I used the layers I plucked for the racks to glue beneath my rack-cases, offering a cushion and more comfy support to the chips underneath, which also saves me from having to use any covers over them (saving space and keeping things more tidy and streamlined for when I have to grab more chips). I believe it's a better option than the covers, to be honest.

Thanks for asking!

which plastidipped did yall buy? mind sharing a link?

 

[Booshme]

Thanks for the info.

Any time man! If you go to www.mycasebuilder.com you can even have them print custom measurements, or even just mess around with measurements fitting your case to have a nice visual of it will look. The pluck squares are a half-inch each, btw.

Here's a custom-printed one that I saw on here that I absolutely love, and once I can afford I'll probably do for myself, but for 500 chips and room for all my accessories. (Sorry I lost the username and didn't credit the person who designed it!)

You can also get cool prints, such as another I found on a post here (thank you @brewdawg )

Here you go! You can probably get it cheaper at Walmart.

I only used one can for both my cases, and there's still some left.

I saw that! What is it?? I hear it’s a hit but I haven’t been able to find anything explaining how it goes

It's fun! Deal out a deck of cards. You start with 12 horse and roll dice to "scratch" 4 of them. Then you go around the table rolling dice and if you roll a horse that scratched you pay what it's worth. If you roll one that's not scratched it moves one spot closer to the finish line. If you have a card/s and that horse gets to the finish line you get a portion of the pot from the scratched horses. It's way more fun to play than trying to read this ganky explanation tho lol

You can find it on Amazon for like $40 bucks. There are nicer ones out there but it's a good cheap way to get into it.
