Dumpster models

I made two dumpster models in Blender. The big one ended up with a button that drops ten bags of trash at a time.

Finished charcoal 30-yard dumpster with steel rails, reflective tape, and a gold Wolfhound emblem. — **FIG. 01** / 30-yard dumpster

Renders

Every dumpster needs some branding. I used the unit crest of the battalion I served with: the 2-27 Infantry Wolfhounds. The motto, Nec Aspera Terrent, translates to "no fear on earth."

30-yard example

A spot can fit the dumpster and still leave the truck nowhere to line up.
