I like your work Aleros - it is always distinctive, and "clean". It has a style it's own, so who cares if it doesn't have enough rubble? It does make it very easy to game with. It fits well with your miniatures as well.

I think the grass looks great! The entire model is perfect for miniature gaming! That is the goal, a bit of terrain that can be used for a wargame, and one that looks as realistic as you can get. I'd say you hit it dead on!
I would have to re-do my terrain if I had that on the table, it would make my stuff look real bad!

The terrain piece looks great, almost as if I am looking at a 3D rendered image. Reminds me of counter strike for some reason.

Awesome piece. The realistic touches on the roof and the fuel tank give it the character that so much DIY terrain lacks.

A few helpful constructive criticisms -

So this building collapsed, right ? Then why are all the floor boards 100 intact. I kid, i kid. Seriously though, weathering and splintering the floor boards just a touch would elevate the realism a touch.

Ditto on the broken roof segments - a touch of detritus, rough edges, weathering (a mix of rust and then effectual weathering of whatever caused the damage, so if a bomb / explosion - black carbon scoring ... if just decay, brown / green rust or decay.

Finally on the roof sections everything is very angular. When buildings collapsed, their ceilings droop at the point of collapse even when still nominally attached to the roof. a little bit of angled downward roof sections combined with the dust / grime / cracks / weathering mentioned above would take this to diorama level quality pretty quick.



If you really wanted to get crazy, a couple of scale light fixtures dangling haphazardly from wire, and some scale realistic graffitti would be great too.



All just nitpicky CC'ing, the piece looks wonderful as it is - it's lightyears above most DIY ruined buildings.

Nice Work. Mutli Level design.

Ehhh.... it's competently made but it looks like more like a purpose built ruin than an actual ruin. I can understand that certain liberties have to be taken with wargaming terrain but it looks too bare. Put up some posters, graffiti, trash or whatever. The graffiti you did put on was pretty good. More of that would really finish this piece.

If I may make a suggestion, make some of it completely illegible. Where I live you can't read 95% of the graffiti around here without a guide.

very, very nice

Totally agree with Paradigm 110%! I'd love to have a board of these!

Would you build me some? Seriously. PM me if you're interested. I have some industrial type bits from a resin company who's name escapes me, that I've been wanting to put on a board.
