Hey Peter. Thanks for reminding me of this site. It had been quite a while since I visited and they've added a lot of items. The freighter printout looks like it would be easy to transfer to sheet styrene if you wanted to lengthen or kit bash into something a little stronger than paper. Other interesting stuff on this site: The free building downloads have a nice North American look as does the modern warehouse. Also check out the kits for steel 20 and 40 foot containers and the interior furnishings.
