I redid the structure of a crane in 2MM Plexi. The cylinder movement motor is a 6v 500tr/min

Hello, I have started the construction of 1200 containers. I made all 6 sides. The measurements of a 40 foot container are L12.2cm l2.4cm h2, 9cm or 2.6cm. I have built several container models. Afterwards I built compartments. I filled my molds with blue liquid silicone. After 10 molds of each shape I filled them with epoxy resin.

Here is my molding company and the result of the molds I am very satisfied with the result

Hello,
here are some pictures of my brand new containers that I've molded and assembled myself. When you look for containers on the internet, you can only find 1/87 scale containers but mine are 1/100.

I am currently looking for a way to add transfer printing on my container. Does any of you have an idea on how to do this ? I would like to "create" the Maersk, Hamburg Sud, CMACGM, MCO, P&O, Safmarine logos.

Aren't container decals available for those company names?

I know they are in more usual scales, such as HO & N Gauge railway scales, but some suppliers also do them in other, more varied scales too.

I've had custom water-slide decals made in the past from Bedlam Creations in the US. I'm sure there is someone similar closer to you.
They can print just about any colour, including white.
You can gang up quite a few logos on an A4 sheet, although those ridges could be a problem. How many containers will need logos? Not all 1200.

Start of painting for the parts of my containers. This represent only one set of fourteen modules.

KitS · « **Reply #93 on:** August 11, 2024, 04:00:36 pm »

Wouldn't it be easier to paint them once they're assembled? As it is you'll have to scrape the paint off the joints before you glue them together surely?
