New terrain: Air Cargo containers These are the cargo pods that slide into passenger planes. I have 12 medium pods and there will be smaller types that will come next. Note: Because of the the non-cube shape, you do need to add weight to them if you want to put miniatures on top of them.
Otherwise they will tip over.Down Load From Here: tommygun.sector-17.com/tommygun/main.php?g2_itemId=1170   |

Those are pretty dang cool.
The fact that they are not just cubes makes them cool, but the textures are fantastic and elevate it to the next level.

Great job, Tommygun! I have already got these printed out and ready for the CraftRobo.
What are the origins for the unnamed containers?

Great job, Tommygun! I have already got these printed out and ready for the CraftRobo. What are the origins for the unnamed containers? They all have little hexagonal logos from different factions of the Infinity game. Is that what you mean? The next containers will have various company names on them. Thanks for looking. |

They looks great!!!
There's any chance that they can be stored flat and "mounted" on the fly when needed?

I'm sorry there is no easy way to do that Parduz.
I think you could adapt them to use that match box approach I was working on for Habitat 67.
That has some draw backs to it, as the corners or seems wont always be fully closed.
You could also do a slot and tab approach like Topo did with his storage containers, but as they are not all square it will be more challenging.

That is a nice reference sheet. I'm about to start on a large double wide container. Here is the beginning of the small ones.  |

They look great. I also like how you placed Shell next to Dharma and Black Mesa... |

Thanks guys, I like the storage hulk idea.
...or a game based on forklift races.

The last type of container.  |

Post by Parduz on Jul 5, 2011 3:56:01 GMT -9
I don't know if this is possible...
....what about an additional "texture layer" to make them very rusty, as if they were abandoned from long time?
And:
what about a "funeral" container? i mean: dedicated to dead soldiers transport?

When you designed these, did you have a specific Transport in mind? If so, I'd like to see it.
This would definitely be welcome on Topo's Industrial Game Mat, as well as being good for general use.
I like Parduz's ideas there. Even in the future, I think they would generally want to send their buddies' bodies 'home'. Rusted hulks would also be quite handy. I think it would be similar to today in that they would not want to take the trouble to ship empty containers back to be re-filled. There would be some Triangular Trade going on, but especially on planets held for strategic location, there should be hulks used for just about anything by locals and colonists.
I don't think I said it, but these look great and will be very useful.

I'll be doing some small hexagon crates at some point.
I think the size of those would be more correct for coffins.
I'll make up some then.
These are pattern after the container used by modern aircraft.
They're made of aluminum, so no rust, but I did do a set of defaced containers that are beaten up and dirtied pretty good.
I also plan on doing an upgrade so you can add an interior to them.
This will allow the doors to be left open, but also, you can model heavily damaged ones that have been ripped open.
I will look into making a few as houses.

Dr. Pumper ... too funny.
Not sure why they would need to air ship, but still is really humorous

Here are the Hab units and I also did a greenhouse which turned out well I think. I'm thinking I'll turn this into a diorama for the contest. I just NEED MORE BOXES! MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE ...........................    |

Is the car a creation of yours as well ?

The car is a modded version of some vehicles by Ebbles: melebbles.blogspot.com/The Small Air Container pdf is getting closer. This is some of what will be in it. It will have about 18 small boxes and four box groupings. The group boxes are for filling out large box formation quicker.   |

Well I have one interior done for the medium pod. I'd like to get a second one for the big pods and also add some boxes for the inside of it.   |
