Cargo Town

So with my Hex2Go containers coming back shortly, I feel less guilty about my half started (not even half finished, so strong was the guilt) container build.
To that end I have slapped the base colour on the Hex2Go containers and will set about making a nice little terrain piece…

Looking good! Containers are incredibly useful for terrain and those look like they’ll work for 15mm too!

Does Masterblaster run Cargotown?

Great use of the single block-shaped container to break up the scene a bit. Maybe add a few ladders or stairs to make the raised levels more accessible in gameplay?

A great thing about modelling this kind of scene in a sci-fi setting like yours (one that has anti-grav technology) is that it’s not necessary to model a crane. One can assume aircraft/spacecraft are used to stack and unstack the crates.

That’s part of my motivation for wanting some of these hex containers. I’ll just modify the doors at the ends a bit.

They’d make good ammo containers for those heathens that game in 28mm too……’shudder’…….

Yup. They are being made ready to add once the main bits are painted.
Too fiddly with them in first, to be fair I should have painted the containers before gluing them in place…

Heresy.

Can’t wait to see more. I’m a big fan of these and glad to see them back.

So many uses.

yay, though with them now being two part models they do suffer from a visible joint where the two parts join.

🙁

But they are much easier to cast and the moulds last longer.
Started casting up stock in readiness:

Bleeding hell that was quick! Hahah

I don’t think the lines are much of a problem, once painted.

[Angel Barracks]

I am a bit disappointed with them…
The lines can be a bit much for me.
🙁

But there is a disclaimer on the website saying as much.
Don’t want people thinking they are super neat.
