I need to sort my finances (i may or may not have gone on an ill-advised shopping spree this weekend...) and see if i get a couple, precisely my FLGS owner is a, ahem, "cyborg" fanboy (got the special edition codex and all), i may decide to get one of those obelisks and donate it to the store. Can't promise he'll get into reselling anything though.
And i want some of that scatter, that's always welcome in our tables.

I think I may need to buy some, those are a lot cheaper than the MDF ones...

Container depots are basically loads of shipping containers, some buildings (offices for the clerks and off-duty rooms for workers) and some pieces of cargo-handling equipment. Be it gantry cranes (the one above is good for moving containers from train to truck, but not going to work with ships. You'd better look for something like this), regular cranes, reach stackers or big forklift trucks (big enough to handle an almost 30-ton 20' container). Also, vehicles capable of transporting containers - flatbed railway cars, container trucks, or however these low trailers meant for ship transport were.
Container ships themselves I consider to be impractical for tabletop purposes: they're damn big, even the feeders (small ships that take 160-200 containers...).

If we assume that 28mm is equivalent to 1:56 scale, then our tables represent fairly small patches of realistically scaled terrain (about 60x60 meters, unless I got my maths wrong).
Conclusion: it is not very possible and very impractical to make realistic-sized wargaming terrain in 28mm scale.
Therefore - don't make it more realistic (than needed for suspension of disbelief). But make them fun!

What is the thickness of that card? 0.100" or 0.125" ?
