Have a look at super cheap auto they have some neat alluminium tool boxes not cheap (up to $400 from recollection) but they are robust.
I made a great case using the box a scope came in (cardboard) and layered it up with much newspaper and it was very strong and painted was great.
I used flour for the glue and the bush rats demolished it... next one I do I am using wall paper glue ... the good thing about this method is you can build in little cardboard draws inside, and form up supports by papering over the foam supports that come with the box/scope... if you want it tuffer coat it with resin..real tuff add a layer of glass matt.
