This container is a little longer than yours, but I think that your shorter
version makes more sense from a stacking/moving point of view, and to allow a
greater variety of colour and cargo. The incorporation of numbers on the
sides looks excellent as well. My thought was to eventually put custom
decals on the sides as corporate logos...using some other spacers
‘corporations’.

Yeah, I have a strange attraction to the numbers.

Perhaps a container size/connection standard would be a fun thing to
explore...get some other builders designing with it in mind?
|
This would be terrific. That’s what I’m hoping for. I like the design of this
style of container, but I think a bit smaller might make more sense. Also, I
used the axles just because of the mounting design I used inside the warehouse
(the pins didn’t hold the top containers like I’d hoped). I will probably try to
redesign this after the upcoming show. I like the idea of using pings much
better than axles.
One other cool thing about this container size is that it butts up against the
Moonbase corridors perfectly. You can imagine containers hanging off empty
connectors on a display where modules aren’t hooked into other modules.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Looking forward to the other creations.
|
Yeah.... me too... I’m running out of time before our show!

Heh, thanks! And thanks for the inspiration!
