Default Coleman 100qt cooler

I just thought I'd post some pics of my cooler for you guys to see. I couldn't sleep last night so I broke out the styrene and glue and came up with this.


Here is a picture of the 1:1



And here are some crappy pictures of mine





On my Yota



Its not the level of some of the masters but its not bad for a first try at 2 am


Thanks for looking!

thanks! The plastic I used came from a tray i found at the local dollar store. I picked it up just for that reason, the texture really comes in handy sometimes.

The whole back of your rig looks awesome. Now it's time for a scale hi-lift.
