Loading a Can Hauler

Troutweaver was kind enough to send me a few more of his models.

Here's a Can Hauler being loaded. This is a "diorama". The models (cans, pusher and hauler) are being drawn by Celestia in fixed relationships with one another. I might be able to make it more active with the pusher actually shoving cans around, but that'll take some work.

 I think the pilot of the pusher is going to catch hell from the can hauler's cargomaster. The cans are being loaded in the wrong order: they should be loaded around the circumference starting close to the engines. That way the can hauler can leave with only a partial load and not be off balance.

(I didn't think of that problem until after I'd written the "catalog" for Celestia. Changing it would be enough work that I don't feel like doing that just yet.)
