28mm Rural Shack Terrain

Picked up a copy of County Road Z (CRZ) on a whim and now full of piss and vinegar to do some zombie games. Much of my terrain for 28mm is urban buildings and such for Zona Alfa. While a few ruins look ok, thought I’d need some intact structures for my table too. I ran across Atomic Laser Cut Designs and really liked some of the stuff they have for zombie games. Their shotgun shack looked perfect for CRZ.

The kit comes flat packed. And the MDF sections were pretty easy to pop out from the sheets.

The doors are a pretty clever design. There is a hole in the main floor, and top sections that fit into the door frame. Since the doors have tabs on them, this makes a kind of anchor point for the doors so that they swing freely, but stay firmly in place.

I will grumble some. While there are no instructions, the kit is still pretty intuitive to assemble. However I found the foundation section was a bit of a puzzle. There are protruding parts of the foundation that stick out for the front porch and back deck. Make sure you place the foundation section that has a tab cut out facing the rear of the building. This allows a smaller section that fits in that slot, serving as a base for the rear deck.

The structure walls are easy to drop in. Mind you the upper door sections can be a tight wiggle to place, but doable. Overall the pieces fit well and didn’t need any sanding. Pretty much fit into slots with no fuss.

The roof is designed to fit in two sections. One for the main building and another that fits over the porch. It’s nice to be able to take off the porch roof, but the main roof design has a little overhang. Found it best to remove the main roof first and then pull off the porch roof if needed.

Overall the scale looks right on target for 28mm. I’ve plopped down a Reaper Miniature to give some idea of scale. The building also has window frames that add more texture to the outer walls. I was just so excited to take pics, I started doing so and forgot to put them on when I snapped some photos. Overall, happy to have picked this up and having a playable interior is just icing on the terrain cake. Great kit for 28mm wargaming.
