Modeled after the container from the classic pc games, can be used with the popular miniatures game. Print in full size to use with large base, 50% size for fighter base. See gallery for a size comparison. Full size is still smaller (at 1/434 scale) than the container ought to be compared to the fighter and medium ship models, but as I'm planning to use this scale for the pc games standard freighter model I choose a scale that would fit to the released capital ships.
