Here's my latest model, the Wrecked House. It offers walls in a choice of red bricks, brown bricks and stone. You can add a plaster-and-beam overlay to the walls, and an optional wood attic. The roofs come in a choice of thatch, slate tiles and wood shingles, and there are lots of little extra goodies.

Here's my latest model, the Ruined Wall. This should be a pretty handy bit of terrain for your skirmish gaming. It's a multi-layered model like the other ruins I've been doing lately, and here I've chosen two different looks that are possible.

Impressive and fun.

That is just not fair now I need a printer.

Still making ruins! This is my latest, the Ruined Cottage. I'm using a newly designed set of stairs for this one, and some new railing pieces for the bridge that can be used to move from one ruin to another above street level.

I continue to be impressed. Will be buying more soon.

Here's the new Ruined Church model that I've just finished.

out of interest any chacne you oculd have a go making a version or model similar to the Kings gate from Winchester UK?

the stuff so far is epic, some picks its been built on loads

I do have a couple of gate models in my catalog (the North Gate and the West Gate) but they're not quite like that one.

I've saved those images and whenever I get around to doing another gate model, I'll use them as inspiration. That's really awesome.

Will fading must buy printer or sneak over to my moms

WOW !! These terrain pieces look fantastic !!

The ruins are really nice for Mordheim!

Tried downloading the demo one, but I can't seem to find a download link anywhere :/

You could also send an order online to the nearest FedEx (Formerly Kinkos) office. They may even be able to print on cardstock.

To do that I would need to buy a flash drive and about 20 or 30 buildings for the investment to work out but I am working on it.

Here's the sample Hovel model:

And my latest release is now available! Here's the Sniper's Wall:
http://www.davesgames.net/catalog-snipers-wall.htm

Ohh cool that one could be used in 40k and fantasy you need some ladders for the buildings without stairs, crates, and fences both stone and wood for los blocking

The Sniper's Wall includes 4 ladders. Many of my other models include crates or other furniture, or makeshift bridges for passage from one ruin to another above street level.

And my next release will probably be a set of low ruined walls, so we're definitely on the same page, you and me.

Awesome!

Many of your models would work in any game really, especially WWII and Weird War II settings.

The Sniper Wall is right there for sci-fi stuff though!

Excellent!

You had me at "sniper wall."

More sci-fi/gothic stuff. Perhaps a few pieces that are modular in combination... that is...generic sci-fi lvel #1...can be combined with generic sci-fi level #2...which can all be combined with generic ruined sci-fi building top #4.

That way you can sell pieces rather than buildings...then we consumers can buy what we want to custumize our tables...

But way more sci-fi..love the cement.

I like your old West stuff.
Any chances of seeing some Victorian era stuff? Would go great with Malifaux.
Some decidedly more steampunk-esque stuff would, too.

I've just released a Crosspiece Ruins set.

I don't have any immediate plans to start creating sci-fi stuff, but I'm sure I'll get into that eventually. Modular designs are also something I expect I'll be getting into. There are a couple of well-established papercraft publishers doing the modular thing, and I'm pretty happy in my niche as a "one-off" model designer who usually includes lots of texture variations. When the other guys start including lots of textures on their stuff, or if there's a flood of new ruins from other designers, I'll probably start creating more modular stuff or find some other niche.

I don't think I've done any old West stuff! I've mostly been doing medieval/fantasy (and a couple of sci-fi military). Fat Dragon Games has some awesome Old West models, and there's another company doing some (but I can't remember the name just now).

I think lots of my current models will work well for Victorian settings. Pretty much any of my medieval models with an optional red brick texture would work fine for that era.

Steampunk is such a fun and wide-open genre (subgenre?) that I think I'd have a great time designing models in that vein.

The sad fact is that there's only so much time, and there are so many possibilities. I could stick to designing medieval buildings for the rest of my life and never run out of possibilities. I don't want to do that! So while I'd love to do sci-fi, Victorian and steampunk (and more!) it's really a matter of choosing something and making the most of it. You know how many times I've been asked for a medieval church? Still haven't done one (an intact one, anyway). Or bridges, or ground tiles? It's endless. I love it. But it's endless. Right now I'm focused on ruins, but when I get tired of doing that, who knows?

You don't need to make new buildings just scifi up the ruin buildings and you are gold solid buildings don't really work in 40k if you can't get in them.
Like the sniper wall the cement skin is perfect for 40k just more of that and your sales will rise.

Actually, solid buildings work fine (See the section in the rulebook under Ruins and Buildings)

I am tired of seeing ruins for 40k to be honest, that's ALL anyone makes. Buildings are an awesome part of the game that almost never gets used, and I would like to see some more of the buildings.

I did get the demo from the site, but it was from another company. I'll try yours out tonight, and if I like it, I'll at least buy the sniper one, and a few others. Never done the papercraft thing before, so I was a bit hesitant, but the one from the other company turned out really good in 15mm scale, and yours looks even better, at least on the computer. I doubt that I would use the buildings for 40k personally, or I'd have to beef them up a bit with foamcore, but they look to be very usable for FoW.

LOL

My bad. My subliminal thoughts showing through.
I've been looking for good producers of Old West and Victorian models to use as Malifaux terrain.
I'd just seen some decent Old West stuff. That sneaked in when I meant to say "Medieval." : )

Have to agree here!

You're sales will certainly go up with some Sci-Fi skins, etc.

Games like INFINITY need LOTS of terrain - your stuff would work GREAT for this, IF they were a bit more "Sniper Wall" and a bit less Old World Empire!

And don't get me wrong, I think the Old World Empire look is great too!

Crosspiece Ruins Set #2 is now available!

One other thing, it would be really nice if you would include pictures of the completed models as well, instead of just the renders.

Here's my latest set of slot-fit Archway Ruins walls. This set is totally compatible with my earlier crosspiece sets.
