Hi

I made up these cardboard shipping containers for a personal project and am now selling them online.

They cost $9.82 for a set of 3 and postage to the USA is $2.89 for standard airmail or $6.35 if you want a tracking number.

There are more pics (and you can order) at http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/scenery/shipping-container

**EDIT** These come as a kit laser-cut from cardboard and you have to assemble them yourself.

**EDIT2** Thanks lucasbuffalo for spotting some possible ambiguity. These are meant for terrain, not to send models in. Unless you want to send your models in them. That's ok too.

Kind regards
Neal

Totally thought these were shipping containers for models until I clicked the link and realized they were terrain, lol.
Having said that, they look very nice! Great level of detail!

Not normally a big fan of cardboard terrain, but these look pretty good, and with some internal bracing should be fairly robust.

Thanks for the kind words but trust me - they need no internal bracing.

They are made from 1mm thick card and there are three levels of detail (so each wall is 3mm thick). If you use superglue to glue it together it is very very robust.

I don't know how much the rulebook weighs but the full bottle of champagne weighs 1.5kg

That's a lot more crush-resistant than I'd expected - good on you for designing them so well.
