I want to build a wooden foot locker to store guns in. It needs to be fairly portable but sturdy. I really like to way pic looks. It's from the tv show Arrow.

Good for you. All the best with it anon.
OP here. Does anyone know a good set of plans? I can probably wing it with success, but plans would help.

Nope. Notice how long that is, and the handles on each end. It's meant to be carried by two people and put on the floor where you need it. It's not really meant to be carried around like a briefcase, especially when it's full of stuff. That being said it looks pretty straightforward. I don't think plans would be necessary in this case. All memes aside looking at those planks on the side, pallet wood might actually be good for this.
bunch of pine boards and some screws or nails and a couple hinges and yer golden. this is about as simple as it gets.
You could install a pair of suitcase wheels on one side so you can roll it instead of lifting the entire thing.
Any ideas what I should line it with? Was thinking eggshell foam.
inch thick heavy wood
Line the sides and edges with metal
Re-purpose a surplus artillery shell crate? or copy the dimensions and build one. They're made out of 1 inch thick pine, or mine are. Not sure what your definition of 'fairly portable' is though. The howitzer shell crate might hold a rifle but wouldn't be anything I'd want to walk around in public with when I could use a hard plastic case lined with foam and have it lighter, more maneuverable, protect the gun better and less conspicuous.

Just goto a surplus store and buy a crate meant for 105mm artillery rounds for like 20 dollars.
