FX Models has been asked to create a number of Shipping Container models. In one case, we constructed a model of a specially designed payload with the standard ISO shipping container that would carry it. The container is the only part of this project that we can show. A clear window on one side (not shown) of the ISO container allowed a view of the internal arrangement of the payload. This container is a fully operable container, containing hinged trailer doors at the end, and functionally capable corner fittings. For display purposes, the corner fittings were slightly enlarged to illustrate them more clearly.

The Model was fabricated after the Sea Box 20′ x 8’6″ Dry Freight ISO Container and was constructed in 1/13.87 scale. Odd scale was due to the established scale size of the payload. Construction was accomplished by CAD drawing the box first, and then lasercutting the pieces and assembling using solvents.

Another model [ the blue container below] was created for the US Coast Guard and is used for counter terrorism training. That particular model is even more complex and carries full detail right down to the smallest information data plate on the doors.

The Staff at FX Models would like to acknowledge and thank Sea Box, Inc for their wonderful support in the creation of this model. For your own real container needs contact Sea Box, Inc and let them help you!
