Perhaps stacked on pallets? There seems to be 3 different sizes. auction auction Or some perhaps you could use them to make some type of machine? These "cylinder" ones look interesting too: auction Dan

The spacer beads (link 3) look the best. |

They'd make good pressure/liquid tanks for sure! Good find :) |

Why not ? I like the look … E.g. I used these round & half beads for oxygen(?) tanks(?) on one of my Ork KrawL'as …

They all would be larger than the 55 Gal barrel in 15mm scale. The classic Sci/Fi container (in Star Trek at least) is an Over-Pack barrel:

In 15mm scale (1/100 scale) an Over-Pack barrel would be 8mm across and 10.7mm tall.
Things bigger could sure exist, but would not be expected to be manhandled. If you go with the smallest size, I think you got some good stuff here. I plane to get some! I just got a pile of these:
linkWhich at 5mm overall diameter x 8.3mm long are a good size. More like a 30 Gal barrel, than a 55 Gal |

The spacer beads (link 3) look the best. And I like the first two. ;->= Beside, put a small wire cage around each, and it becomes an industrial lamp. In Barbie/GIJoe scale, which is what I want to do Aliens in, someday… Back to 15mm, a couple of lengths of square plastic, or even sectioned wooden matches, and you'd have some anti-grav barrel mover/clamps for the tops.

DyeHard Nice find! They almost remind me of plastic water bottle spouts. Dan |

Yes Cacique Caribe, That was my thought as well (but that would be in 28mm)
For 15mm maybe a Cryogenic Storage Containers:
Or something to hold "Warp Plasma" |

Anyone tried using beads as SF cargo bins? Dan |

looks for scenario material in a World War IV boardgame.
