Got a Pelican case from someone, but it was empty, no foam etc. in.

Stopped by foam warehouse today and purchased three layers of HD foam, one for lid, and two for bottom.

Progress so far.

Glued in the top piece to the lid, and the 10mm bottom piece as well. Now all I have to do is work with the big block of foam and glue it when done.

Can't do much further until my batter grip arrives 

I'm getting red x's 

Sounds like a good DYI project but I can't see the photos. I am getting a blue question mark instead. Might want to try again?

test take 2

Busy with slots now for batteries etc.

I need more lenses

the 70-300 is too tall to fit right side up.

leaving space underneath for macro and 14mm

I found a heavy duty canvas and ballistic cloth seamed tool bag on sale for about 6 bucks NEW. It has compartments on the sides inside (great for cables/cords) and a flat bottom insert, nice shoulder strap thrown in. I want to build my own camera bag, and I intend to use foam also... want to build a sort of frame within the case of it (like the insert types seen on some messenger bag-type camera  bags).

My understanding is that (heavy canvas, but not a rigid walled case) you want  high density rigid layer towards outside, and a high density less rigid (maybe more open cell) layer on the inside. Then can line with flocking, velveting, or fur.

I was always warned that foam and some synthetic furs can (on occasion) build up charge and mess with electronics. Is that true? Since the elecs are pretty well concealed in a metallic camera body, do we need to worry about that at all? Is there any good glues to laminate the lining to the foam, and the rigid HD foam to the soft foam?

Thanks.
