I go so sick of not having any decent 28mm scale crates for Pulp gaming I made my own (no offense Phil)! Mastered in balsa wood and plasticard, cast in resin.  I cast enough of the individual crates to make three crate stacks which are molding at the moment. Then I'm going to cast those in Ultracal 30 and fill my Pulp Cairo suburb with them  Oh and those half painted ones in the foreground are white metal from Ebob Miniatures. Nice crates, but just a touch too small for my 28mm Pulp figures to hide behind... |

looking nice. Reminds me, i did some crates a while back with banding around them like yours, don't know what happened to them.

They were pretty easy to put together. I really don't know why I didn't get around to it earlier.
Next piece of terrain I want to master is luggage! Hat boxes, trunks and suitcases with leather straps. They'll require more careful sculpting with green stuff.

That'd be a good idea - more civillian-orientated baggage, haven't seen too much of that around.
Since I'm back into 20mm now myself, I'm wondering what demand there'd be for this sort of thing in that scale.

My lovely wife collects 30's hatboxes (I have no idea why as she owns no hats) and has several pieces of other period luggage as well. So at least I have reference material!
You remember that scene from "Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade" where Indy steals a porter's uniform and throws a Gestapo man out the airship window onto a pile of luggage? I want enough luggage to do something like that ... plus populate a Cairo railway station.

I love hatboxes, maybe it's a girl thing? I also have a nice old leather collar box, complete with collar and bow tie. Now I need to get myself a top hat box. Old suitcases with leather straps are awesome too, I use them stacked up in a corner of the room to store my fabrics in.
If you're making a luggage stack for a railway station type scene don't forget to include some large hessian type mail sacks with parcel and letter shaped bulges.

Yeap I like the old belted suitcases, that's what I was thinking of sculpting. Plus 'steamer trunks' which might be a bit of a challenge because they were all reasonably ornate.
A collar box! Heh. Thank goodness gentlemen don't have to wear separate starched collars any more.

Possibly I have been posting photos on various web forums like a madman, hard to say I've got a tiny 28mm scale suitcase about half finished and have taken a few WIP shots. They're not terribly exciting (it is only luggage) but if it turns out alright I'll naturally post the lot on my blog. |
