I once saw some shipping containers for sale from a terrain store in the UK, can anyone help me? Can't seem to find them in my favourites...
Or if anyone has any of the AT-43 ones for sale, or knows of anywhere that has them cheap enough, that'd help too :)

This may not be your gusto but have you seen these free paper containers?

Deserter - No idea. Model railroad in O-scale should have shipping containers available and eBay for AT-43 containers. Shop around as they can be gotten cheaply.

BRUTPAUL - Neat! And I like how in the top photo the subordinates are practicing their ballet behind the NCO's back.

Can your printer handle index card stock? I do all my stuff with it and only the largest buildings need extra reinforcement..

Cheers guys :) It was the Tablescape ones, so thanks rikitikitava (and welcome to the forum!). Upon seeing the price though, and the amount I'd like, I may end up making some of my own...

The tablescape ones are nice but pricey :/ there was an American company who sold moulds of containers can't remember the name though..
If you decide to build your own I'd would love to see how you go about it!

I bought my paper containers from Gugnir's Card Models:

They are pretty plain but the b/w prints are very inexpensive and with some paint and colour embellishments they turn out allright. The coloured containers really add the spice and were simply printed on coloured paper:

Thanks, the table is from a friend (Braxandur) though, I just brought my containers along for the game. You can read the battle report these are from here (it's an old topic though):

Pil, Thanks for directing me to the AAR. I had read it a while back,but it was nice to read it again. I like the use of the sidewalks and curbs, it does a great job of hiding those MDF based buildings.
