Greetings!!

Thanks for the replies, I reckon I'll fiddle around with it as a figure.  I'll probably go ahead and set the handle as a morph target, then rig the wheels to rotate and the lid to open/close, shouldn't be too difficult.  Hopefully =P. 

I actually based the model off a Coleman Xtreme 50-quart wheeled cooler.  I measured most of the standard shapes and kind of winged the rest. =]  The can holders are designed for a basic 12oz can, though I do plan to include can, beer bottle and soda bottle props with the cooler, just gotta be careful if you have a bottle in there. =P

Coleman also has a 75-quart cooler of the same product line that I'm sure I could easily make a morph for to adjust the size.  I'm still learning my way around creation for Poser and not sure how I would tackle the textures for that, for I'm sure I'd run into stretching issues.

The current renders are quick shots out of Maya, so I haven't set it up in Poser yet.  I do intend to make detailed textures for it as well tweak the shaders to give it a plastic apperance.  I still have a little more modeling/mesh tweaking to accomplish then UVs. 

I'm most certainly open to any suggestions or critiques anyone might have!!  I was thinking of making it a part of a tail-gate pack so if anyone can thing of something that they think would go well with it please let me know. =]

Also here's some ortho renders to give a better sense of propotions.
