I've never seen that in any of the craft stores around me. Thanks for the recommendation. I DO use the fancy scrapbook paper that Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry. One of them is corrugated brown. (https://www.hobbylobby.com/Scrapbook-Paper-Crafts/Paper-Cardstock/Specialty-Paper-Single-Sheets/Corrugated-Cardboard-Scrapbook-Paper---12-x-12/p/111173)

Are the ones you're getting off Amazon paper, also? Or are they plastic?

Paper, they cut easily with a scissor (or hobby knife).  I was going to try peeling carboard, but this is 90000 times easier!

Working more on painting trucks the past week than buildings, but my pile of "to be finished" is growing.   I found a bunch of 1/100 scale WW2 armored cars and they upscale to 25-28mm really well without detail loss.  I've been busy "apocalypsing" them.

Used my preferred priming method - Flat Red/Brown, Barbarian Skin, then Pale Flesh (rattle can).  Ready for paint in about 20 minutes.

Great start! I have never taken the leap to spray painting my stuff (other than spray primer for terrain and the occasional miniature that needs reinforcement). Kudos to you to finding a way to get things done even quicker!
