So do I  lol. Quick and easy spray paint for most part. Hope to have something to show next week.

Just before you walk away from this project, can I suggest you get a few 20' containers as terrain items? They turn up quite often here and there, and a couple of containers on the table are good, instant blocking terrain as well as a player magnet - every time they're convinced there's great stuff hidden inside, even when they're full of zombies!
I'm a fan of them in modern wargames, got them in 28mm (5) and 20mm (17) sizes - put a whole load on the table, a road and a portakabin and suddenly you have a container park/storage facility.

I still have a few little bits I've been gifted to add throughout the year. I have about 6 printed card containers so that's already sorted but thanks for the suggestion sir.

Would you mind telling me where the printed card containers came from?

They are Corvus Belli Infinity card scenery packs. Yes, slightly futuristic but I'm OK with that. Some of the packs cost you less than a tenner.

Reaper and Renedra both do 28mm shipping containers, there are several makers of mdf shipping containers (reasonably priced, too) but few card ones in 28mm.
It's funny really - 28mm is easier to find figures for but less easy to source good scenery/terrain, whilst in 20mm the terrain is plentiful (ho/oo railways) but you really need to search around for decent figures. Go figure!

Finished off some Renedra plastic tents, campfire and cots that I was given. Andrea from Mantic's Walking Dead for scale.

Tents are an underappreciated resource, so many uses but so few makers.
