I know it doesn't fit. Just an idea. Still thinking of something that does follow the style. The lighter suggestion was good, but after thinking about it, I scrapped it, it's small, so new animations and stuff.
put something like "Spies Only" or "Classified" on the front.
maybe put a floral decoration on it instead to match with the reaccurring flower theme,
and maybe just an idea,a rose pin for the spy,where its either white or teamcoloured.
cigar case is unused to my knowledge, go for it, its stylish, oldskool and very gentleman like. and if you want to go further you could pick those small thin cigars
Very popular idea, I don't think I'm the only one who will be modeling it!
Still thinking how can I incorporate the idea of the new PDA ( random smokeless,faster disguise) into this style! I thinking of a wooden box
You may not be the only one doing it... but I'm confident you'll do it better than them =P Besides, you've already got two killer unlocks, a great theme, and even good backstory for the items! I think you're a shoe-in. But anyway.
As far as incorporating the functionality ideas... how about this. When you switch to the cigar box, the spy pulls it out and opens it. Instead of displaying the normal disguise menu, it displays a disguise menu with a random player. It shows a gif of that random player's class, and shows their name above the image. Below the image, it has an icon of the left mouse button. Next to it is another option, "New Disguise," with an icon of the right mouse button below it.
So essentially, this is how it would work. Pull out the cigar box. The game randomly selects a player, and shows you their name and what class they are. Left click makes you take on that disguise. Right click randomly selects a different player for you to disguise as. And "-" changes teams, as before. It would have a shorter disguise time, and perhaps the spy would just stick the cigar in his mouth, but not light it (as people often do), so there would be no smoke.
As I said before I'm bad,bad,bad at animating, and the knife and the new PDA definitely need tweaking or even new animations! If anyone please can help me I would enormously appreciate!
Progress update: Unwrapping the PDA
BASE COLORS: Still don't know how and where to put the design
I would suggest putting a flowery design right below the screen or something. or if we can get a view of the cover of said device a flowery design that borders the corners of it.
I'll see if I can post a mock up of what I'm thinking of.
Looks good, dude! Are you submitting this soon, or are you waiting until you've finished all for your items? Either way, good luck!
I don't think we're allowed to submit models until the contest ends! The mods will choose their favorites (maybe even Valve) and select the winners! Correct me if I'm wrong!

I was trying to remember where I had seen how to submit the models, so I reread a bunch of the rules... Admittedly, I was skimming the rules beforehand, so I misread the following line:
"If a friend wants to do custom animations for your submissions, have them submit it through the TF2 Contribute! page and note that it is for your Polycount Pack entry."
I mistakenly thought that it said that YOU were supposed to submit your items through the TF2 Contribute system, and mark them as being your Polycount Pack entry.
I guess I'll have to bring the topic up in the questions and answers forum.
Oh, and I believe it is in fact Valve who will be doing the final judging.
Still can't decide what to put on the inside of the door, the black or gold engravings looks horrendous! I'm thinking maybe photos of all classes, or a map?

Fragus give me like a rough sketch of what you want and I'll see what I can do! I won't promise pure awesomness, but I did draw this before, http://fav.me/d2m2aq7
so i'm sure I can do a semi decent job.
IF you're actually putting a portrait of one of the characters, the drawing style must fit TF2, or it's going to be terribly out-of-place.
I think the above image shrunk to <200 pixels tall on your screen will look great, it isn't quite the same as the TF2 painterly style but it's good enough.

This is a competition. "Just good enough" just isn't going to cut it.

Travel cigar case, anyone?
I've been reading all the submissions here and haven't seen a cigar case yet, just fyi in case you want to go ahead.

I don't like it very much, this is mostly just to let you know I'm thinking on it.
Keep up the great work (:
"Fleurs d'or" would be your French equivalent.

(A) has a moustache!
A picture of Scout's mom? :-)
You could always get one of the tf2 models and put a sneaky wig on it
Otherwise I'd be happy to draw one for you... ssh don't tell anyone
so i'm sure I can do a semi decent job.
I'm sure if you asked nicely they'd send you an image of some sort.
Image Updated!
