Containers

[Prof.Witchheimer]

received 4xSiku containers, rather nice. 1:50 Scale. They're 4,4cm x 4,4cm x 11cm and fit well to the 28mm minis. Cost 3 EUR each.

those almoost look better than my 2 hour container

[Sangennaru]

those are really nice!!   What about the theme? are they only of this colour? ('cause weathering is much faster than painting! )

Where from Prof? The link posted earlier?

[Remington]

Oh, yeah, this are quite nice. They seem a bit smaller than the At-43 ones but good detail.

By the way... I'd be grateful for the link as well. I can't seem to find them below 4 € and a buddy would like some for his Level 2 table.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Got them there:

no idea about the other themes, would be great to have more.

I've seen blue ones on the Internet but I think they have a different code. Thanks, professor!

I also thought Snapdragon were no longer in production. A shame if so as I have a few of their bits and they're very nice.

Yup Kerry shut shop and wound down all the moulds, he's only doing large limited run pieces now, everthing else has been shelved with no intention to sell the moulds on to anyone.

I know you didn't want cardboard Alex but Scalescenes have just released these:

print to 130% and you're good to go, (same company as I used for my roads and pavements on my zombie table).

they look nice, but you seem to go with thin basing... how tall is the witch head to table including the base?

The Spanish toy company Joal make some in 1/50th scale to go with some of their toys - lorries and container stackers.

I had thought that one of the styrene sheets made by Ratio/Wills would be perfect for the corrugated sides of a container and that it would be possible to get a block of wood of an appropriate size and stick the sheet to it with Evergreen styrene strip for the edges. Once a mould was made a good quality plaster would suffice to churn them out. Too heavy to post alas.

I remember seeing other containers years ago that were available in a pack but they were too small, real containers are quite big things. I think these may have been the Siku ones that look fine in the pictures posted here.

You can buy some nice looking ones in 1:50th:

Not cheap at all and the Joal lorry with containers is cheaper:

  how can the lorry and containers be cheaper than the containers....

[Prof.Witchheimer]

about 35mm from the top of the head to the table incl. the base
