Here's a pic from overhead of a recent quickie set-up I tossed together.  Originally posted in my blog...

First you start with two tuna cans - WELL-washed and dry.  Then you clamp them open sides together and run a bead of superglue around the seam and allow to dry overnight...

Oh, just wait!  I'll add pics as I go to make a kinda/sorta tutorial.  This is a simple project, but I just have so much going on that it'll take a little while to pull it together.

The shipping container and small ammo cans were designed for 25mm wargaming but as you can see work out nicely with action figs.  I took the small cooler (white "ammo can") and clipped it from the sheet, tossed it into Irfan View, and hit "landscape; print to fit page." It printed out almost the exact same size as the shipping container, right at 300% the size of the small cooler.  Focus is fuzzy at that size, tho, but they work.

I'm thinking about fleshing these small boxes into solid 3D models and molding/casting them.
