Cool. I don't now remember the website, but somewhere, I came across free downloadable HO scale shipping containers, that actually were very nice. Still have the printouts and never assembled them – I was going to use them for zombie games. |

Great Idea Warmonkey,
And you can make it even quicker,at least this is the way I would do it as I hate marking out bit by bit. Clamp say 10 pieces neatly side by side in a wood vice or sliding clamp.Mark out the top & bottom one , take a steel ruler and there you have it … you can cut the work by 100%. Z |

Great idea and good work. With different sizes of wood you can make these for different scale games. |

Great idea, I believe there is some grooved polystyrene sheet that could be used for this. |

You're welcome Warmonkey,
And thanks for the link Jason.
They would be even better wrapped around the square dowels, quicker to build and far sturdier. Z |
