Here's the other six buildings, foamboard, brick plastic sheet , coffee stirrers, filler, cardboard,matchsticks and a bit of balsa. Painted in household emulsion on top of various black car sprays.
I've still got to update Des's original four mdf buildings and of course there's Stews prototype for a step by step and ideally an art deco cinema/ theatre plus some trains , a crashed plane and maybe Pavlovs house in 28mmish, the man's mad!
In the meantime here's some pictures of these buildings with the two larger ones I did previously, with our obligatory friend the commisar.
Apart from these buildings, I'm working on some more bridges, some Dark age terrain, some Napoleonic terrain plus some carts and wagons which are all covered by Dave Stones Summer of scenery which these are part of. I'm also grappling with some barricades,plus there are always Napoleonics lurking nearby!
All the best

Fantastic... if that is the correct expression for a ruin. It really looks the part and very convincing. Great job, Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, I think a fantastic ruin is alright!
DeleteBest Iain
More amazing work Iain....but where the hell do you store them all??!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, in two tescos carrier bags, there's some still space for more, it was part of the design consideration, I learnt after the two oversized buildings!
DeleteBest Iain
These buildings look absolutely brilliant! Well, as Richard notes...for ruins.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, I'll take brilliant!
DeleteBest Iain
Super work on the ruins, they have turned out really well, should look the part on the table, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Donnie!

Cracking work on those Iain:)! Funnily enough last night I was pondering on making a ruined building from an old Airfix magazine article that I made (badly) as a kid, for that pure nostalgia hit and of course to have fun making something.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea Steve,bit overscale for you though? I'm messing around with an old airfix/dapol building at the moment, you can't get away from airfix!
DeleteBest Iain
The idea is to build it at HO/OO scale as per the original and maybe make a mini diorama with it, using some Airfix figures etc. At least that's the current idea! Those old Dapol/Airfix kits are great, although some are certainly showing their age based upon previous experience.
DeleteIain, they look like small sets in a movie. The collection has a wonderful look shown as you have. Can't wait for this to be included in a game.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, having difficulty trying to line up a game but I definitely need them for the family Christmas game!
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely work on these!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteBest Iain
I like the internal detail on these Iain, including the fireplace. Lovely work on all of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, I was tempted by fireplace surrounds but I figured there's got to be a limit!
DeleteBest Iain
They look great Iain! Clearly a lot of work has gone in to them.
ReplyDeleteChris/Nundanket
Thanks Chris,yes lots of work but fun, unbeaten so far and you've got Man united at home, happy days!
DeleteBest Iain
These are just brilliant, I have run over the pictures a couple of times and I just love their rustic nature - the exposed brickwork is particularly effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Norm, pretty easy to do, I'm going to do one more as a step by step to explain how I do it.
DeleteBest Iain
Putting me to shame again, as usual. Very nicely done Iain. Reminds me of a street I used to live on in Smethwick, though your houses are in slightly better repair I suspect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark,bit like Spark Hill in the 1980s?
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent bunch of ruined buildings!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Fitz!
DeleteBest Iain
Nice additions to your large collection of ruins!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, a growing pile of ruins!
DeleteBest Iain
those also came out really well. much better than what I am doing. They look really good all together on the table. really sells the ruined village look. 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew, very different from what your doing and of course not ruined village, rather more urban, I say this as I have ruined village buildings too!
DeleteBest Iain
These look so good Iain. But not satisfied with making excellent buildings you have 17 other things on the go too, bloody over-achiever, hahahaha! 😳😀😊
ReplyDelete"Everyone" is making buildings. Keith has done some 'messed up' ones as well and Stew has made a Quar mansion. You must have got them into it?!
Best wishes, James
Thanks James, Stew and I were joining in with Dave Stone's summer of scenery, although to be honest I'm now so invested with terrain it's probably going to keep going to Christmas! I also know you always have multiple armies on at the same time as well as fleets!
DeleteBest Iain
I know I said it before and don't want to repeat myself, but I do love how natural your ruined buildings look. The whole overall view is simply breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber, not quite in your mining town territory but I'm hoping it'll be less than six years before I use them!
DeleteBest Iain
Smashing smashed buildings indeed Iain…
ReplyDeleteI do rather enjoy making buildings and ruins… It’s knowing when to stop that can be a problem 😁
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, yes having trouble disengaging!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent and practical buildings Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Mark, could do with a granary though?
DeleteBest Iain
Great work as always Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Chris!
DeleteBest Iain
Always love to see your scenic elements come together Iain and I'm still envious of the room you must have to store all of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai, they currently fit in two carrier bags with a bit of space for more!
DeleteBest Iain
Really getting a lot of terrain done here, good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks SD, on a roll!
