Being a lurker at TMP (theminiaturespage.com), I saw a link to an Spanish site for a guy that makes his own scenery:
http://www.toposolitario.es/workshop/container.html
He made a really cool shipping container that I decided to try and copy for 15mm. I try to save "bits-n-pieces" of things that might be viable for terrain and it looks like I had everything I needed to make a working prototype/proof of concept.
Contents Above:
I guesstimated the dimensions and starting gluing things together with supper glue which took pretty well. Below is the assembled container, hope to post some picture this weekend of how it looks painted.
This took about 30-45 minutes to complete. I will take care to keep track of measurements better next time so the containers will be the same size. I also need to find some stencils to put information on the sides.

Contents Above:
- thick baseball/football card pack cardboard
- small nail/braid
- metal paper clip
- Starbucks cup insulation (also have the Seattle's Best ones)
- small piece of left-over plastic card from the DPM building kit
