Wild flowers growing nearby decorate this Utility Box! They appear to be wild daisies. It makes an otherwise plain box get some beauty!

This one is a small utility vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell for power. In the theme of Industrialpunk, or Hibernia, whichever. I'm not totally sold on the cab, but now that I have the dimensions down, I can play around with the shape. I may try out something closer to this, this, this, this, or this.
