Whilst mulling over what to do next this week I got these quickly painted up for my next game of 7TV and of course crates can be useful in any setting really.
Looking at my terrain a lot of it is neutral or brown or weathered like my rusty industrial set. So decided to go with brighter colours to lift the table a bit more. So went for 3 in camo green and 3 in an orange colour. I shall probably pick up another set or two of these as they are inexpensive for the money really and fill out the table. Also give some cover for those long bridges.

nice crates dude, i agree with tables looking the same sort of colouring, so nice to see some alternatives
ReplyDeleteCheers Dude. Yeah its nice to add some colour when everything looks a bit bland.
DeleteGreat job Simon and nice idea on the colouring.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. There a bit bright but I figure they will work for lots of different settings.
DeleteYou can never have too many crates. They are such an essential part of many, many games from fantasy to sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteTo right. I am certainly going to invest in more!
DeleteThe look very good and very suited for the style of the game
ReplyDeleteCheers Kaspar.
DeleteVery nice, I like the green ones!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray. Going to get two more sets and will split the set the same. Maybe do another colour for the third set.
DeleteNice, as you say these little things add lots of life to any board.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah all the little touches really bring things to life.
DeleteCover, can you ever have too much? And very nice to see some different coloured cover.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes indeed! thanks fella.
DeleteLooks good! I got a bunch of the crates done by Uncle Mike and am going to make stacks similar to this. Wooden crates can be used in pretty much any time period without looking too out of place.
ReplyDeleteI like them. Good choices on the colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI have some of those. They're extremely versatile and turn up in all sorts of different settings.
ReplyDeleteYep! I have got some skips todo as well.
DeleteLove the scatter there Simon and the colours work very nicely
ReplyDeleteThanks PK :)
DeleteI like 'em. A good place for some color.
ReplyDeleteThanks Finch. They were simple to do as well really.
DeleteNice and simple! I bought some of those way back when I was at Salute and I still haven't gotten around to paint them. Which is a shame, as I was desperate to get some back then!
ReplyDeletePaint them mate took me probably a couple of evenings between other things to get them done.
DeleteNot too bad at all, well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers :)
DeleteNicely done mate, and fine idea re: the colours. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers dude!
DeleteSimple and nice. There is no better kind. :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed :) Thanks!
Deletethey look lovely, hope they're smuggling something fun!
ReplyDeletePerfect terrain for warehouses and docks. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, great color!
