Modern US Army PELICAN™ D630 Laptop Case

There are many different 1/35 scale Pelican cases in Eureka XXL portfolio. This review offers a first look of a military grade case protecting laptops from the elements.

Introduction:

Military personnel rely on the rugged mobile devices to help get the job done. Portable computing power is essential for everything from analyzing data reports and controlling smart weapons to field communications. Pelican offers a line of military grade cases that provide watertight and dust proof protection for laptop computers and mobile devices.

Eureka XXL has numerous 1/35 scale Pelican cases in their catalogue, most of them reviewed on Armorama. This review covers Modern US Army PELICAN™ D630 Laptop Case (E-065).

Review:

The set comes in a hard cardboard box. The box is nicely designed, not just due to the box art, but also as it features a small opening on the front, which offers a look into the box to actually see the pieces before buying them.

The box contains a zip lock bag with a single piece.

The piece is cast in grey resin. The resin features sharp details and no imperfections whatsoever. A large casting block is intelligently placed on the piece with minimal attachment along the case lip. This should prove easy to remove with some side cutters, sharp blade and fine grit sandpaper.

The case depicts 472-D630-LAPTOP Laptop Case from Pelican. This Pelican™ Storm Case™ is designed to fit one Dell 630 laptop computer and accessories, including AC adapter and cables, and is manufactured in four colors: Black, Desert Tan, Grey and Olive Drab Green. The case dimensions are 19.20 x 15.20 x 7.30 in (48.8 x 38.6 x 18.5 cm).

Closer inspection of the resin piece reveals Eureka did a really good job in capturing all the features of the case. The details like two press & pull latches, the soft grip handle, two padlockable hasps and flush hinges are all there, delivered really well in scale.

The 1/35 scale case is sized to 14 x 11 x 5,6 mm.

Conclusion:

Modern US Army PELICAN™ D630 Laptop Case (E-065) from Eureka XXL delivers a 1/35 scale resin piece depicting a versatile military laptop case. Superbly cast with loads of intricate details, the piece is sized well, and perfectly represents a real Pelican laptop container. Highly recommended.
