I don't have any plans but you could always just buy some wood and scratch build your own. A lot of guys do and you wont find too alike. If you see someone's box that you like take some measurents make a semi-scale drawing and start cutting... I know this isn't what you are looking for but oh well... Good luck to you...

5_spot,
I have one of those Hobbico boxes, and you can leave the airplane cradles off if you want. You can remove them and put them back on after it's built too. If that's your only problem with it.

Pretty well designed, and the wood is already cut for you.

I might get one as i don't own the proper tools to build a good one,my tool selection contains a claw hammer,hack saw and something else.

I just got the tower hobbies box, its like $12 plus s & h..its die cut already..glue it together, paint it and go.......you couldn't make one from scratch for that...especiallly with your vast tool collection..heck for a long time I just used a bucket with a handle from the dollar store....of course I fly 1/2a stuff so all my support stuff is pretty small too...mini starter..motorcycle battery, glow starter clipped on the side, a pint fuel bottle, and my radio...radio

I have seen lots of BIG boxes with wheels and all kinds of stuff...theres plenty of time for that later........Rog
