I wanted to find a use for all those NBA floor sections I aquired after the
latest round of clearance sales at Wally World.
Assuming the 8x8x16 container standard the NBA floor sections are perfect.
They are also 1 brick and one plate thick so add walls 5 bricks high and you
are good to go. The cut outs add some nice detail. I used the printed ones
for the bottom and a plain one for the top.
Apart from the color they are pretty spacey looking-ish.

Ah, the juniorisation of the container standard. ;-) Sorry, I couldn’t contain
myself.
Other than Paul Hartzog’s Mako,(1)
which uses the 8 x 8 pieces, this is the first space repurposing of these that
I’ve seen. PCMIIW (2) Apart from limiting the door options, I think these are a
good design. I like the provision of a sturdy central mounting point for those
irregularly-shaped pieces of ‘scientific equipment’ we’re always shipping
around. That also makes a great floor drain or a couple of connection points for
mysterious tubing. They also have the expendable/disposable quality of
terrestrial containers. It also looks like a great way of saving precious plates
for other uses.
Peace and containment,
