Looks like a good project to go along with your other stuff. The decals to make the containers look more real can be made at any decal shop around your area ,just take them pics of what the real ones look like and one of the toy containers for size reference and they can make them up for ya. ;)

Well here more pics, I just install a decal like a reefer to make a little real i took idea from Rob and his road grader, Now about the ship i design to hold 24 container and a crane between the containers in the middle to the ship, build a crane in the port will looks cool but i don't know how to start and are going to take time maybe later after, Indy i will ask for ideas over. The port just have 4ft by 8ft to storage area, check in ,transfer whs + parking for the chasis. If the material no arrive this weekend i have to stop. i have a dump truck want to finish to take it to indy. My idea is start a club down here but the set up need to be GOOD, I keep watching videos on ytbe for ideas. thnks for look. ideas welcome.

Well you can find some on evil-bay but they/re not cheap. The good ones are Bruder and they discontinued all the hard sided ribbed ones. They have a few flat sided ones left on the Bruder spare parts section of the site. Good luck.
