CONTAINER SHIP AND PORT
 

Here is my project, today i finally have a rest of the day to work with, i m going to measure to cut the ship body 7ft long, i will post more pics during the day, are going to carry 16 containers, i found 21 containers in total (thanks to rcguyfarms for sale me some). I ll see if i can finish today. Any idea very welcome, then i just bought a rubber mat 48 inch by 25 ft long 1/4 inch tick somebody can tell me if is good for road? I will cut at 24 inch wide. Oh where i can find decals to make look like a real containers?

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.

Re: CONTAINER SHIP AND PORT
 

They spent tons of money and time on that thing .I have a video of " The making if the greenhouse " in my Favs, blows my mind when I watch it. Maybe someday....

Re: CONTAINER SHIP AND PORT
 

ok so how do i get my hands on some of those shipping containers..

Re: CONTAINER SHIP AND PORT
 

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.
