Project Last Days (24/4/25 The Compund, concertina wire!!)

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

Completely agree. I have a few of those Renedra pup tents in a bag on my 'when I get around to it' pile and I also have a couple of resin modern frame tents from Alternative Armies around somewhere - nominally 15mm but I might be able to use them for 20mm if I'm lucky. Modern looking tents are rare, almost unicorns, but the historical ones can be found occasionally.

Ainsty used to do a dome tent, and Crooked Dice do one https://crooked-dice.co.uk/products/dome-tent?_pos=2&_sid=16292220b&_ss=r

They also do an expedition tent (early design).

I used the Renedra ones for TWD:AOW:

The Debris of War Command Tent could be used for a Scouts/Guide/TA tent.

Anyscale Models do a very reasonably priced set of modern tents for a fiver.

Earlier this year, I bought some very reasonably priced MDF terrain from a member at the gaming club. He had assembled it but not painted it.

Today, I got around to painting up the TT Combat MDF RV. It's a huge vehicle and really looks the part. I am pretty happy with the result and that "camping roof" on the side can be pulled out  .

Andrea, from Mantic Games AOWTWD is a fitting choice to model the scale of this vehicle.

That's a great RV! I passed on buying it as I was afraid it would look too "blocky" being MDF. It looks wonderful, though...

Very nice.

I like the branding.

Thank you very much Mike!

I personally like MDF a lot. When I bought my first building it was enough to just stick it together. But with a little bit of work, you can make even "blocky" MDF models look nice enough that you're happy to put them on the gaming table  .

We are, most likely, starting out Last Days campaign properly in the next couple of weeks, so this will come in VERY handy then  . Probably as an escape vehicle when my base is being overrun  .

Thank you sir! I'm quite happy how it turned out.

Yep - that’s turned out well; very well.

Heh, 'camping roof' indeed - it's an awning!

Lovely job though - I had similar concerns about the blockiness too but it looks ok here.

Today, I did most of the work on the Project Z Compound I bought earlier this year. It was assembled but unpainted so I slapped some on. I probably won't bother painting the doors in the inside but will put up some barbed wire at the top, there are convenient holes to thread it through.

If I had built the model myself I would've done the painting in another way,  yellow on black is NEVER turning out well  ! It'll do for my uses though.

Nice multi-level building!

Cheers Mike! Another very useful piece of terrain for the zombie apocalypse.

With that nearly done, I have only got that helicopter model left to do before ALL my PA terrain is done (for now  .

As you implied, is it ever truly done? I was in a model train shop yesterday and saw they had a box of three Plasticville trailers on sale. I'm like, "I don't have any Plasticville trailers. And these would look different than my other ones..."

So, I bought them!

Nice secure compound.
