This was generating enough traffic to merit it's own missive.   http://ravenfeast.deviantart.com/art/Ruins-Sneak-Peek-127546085 That's a little less than 2 weeks worth of work. Never underestimate the power of mass production. The 5mm foamboard walls mounted on 15cm x 15cm (not quite 6" by not quite 6") hardboard squares. Made a single, generic stencil for the windows/doors so everything could be traced instead of measured out individually. All the buildings have a standardized 3" height per level/floor. Individually was sacrificed for speed of production. Mr. Ford knew what he was doing. The hardboard bases are purchased from an art supply store http://www.dickblick.com/products/hardboard-panels/ . The foamboard walls are all glued together with white glue and secured to the hardboard bases with Liquid Nails. When you cut a single whole building diagonally in half - TA DA! - you get 2 ruins! And you can never have too many 6" squeeze bar clamps. Next step: Adding details like rubble piles and weapons' fire damage. A.K.A. glue chunks on and chop other chunks off.
