not too shabby. foamcore is tricky to work as a building material for 40k style ruins without some prep work. Good job.

I could do a tutorial if you'd like? ruins are really simple where as intact buildings require some level of skill and practice...but you can always kinda wing it and mess up nothing like covering up mistakes with rubble and debris and textured paint 
That would be handy. (I've worked with foamcore in the past, It's a nice lightweight material, just dings up ALOT easier than the dental stone I've been using, or resins.)

Nice backdrop... some terrain in the works perhaps?

we were thinking about casting our own space hulk/ sci fi corridors in plaster for a table only to realize hirstarts.com makes molds that are super modular and generally awesome. I'll post pictures of the prototype in a minute Automatically Appended Next Post:  
That would not have made a good mold. The wall would be OK, but the buttresses and flooring have too many undercuts to cast well. as a scratchbuilt section of corridor it would be fine, also It would make for a very nice scenic element.

That sounds workable. The "floor" section you have would probably cast ok (without the grating anyway) In my thread you'll see I've been working on a similar design concept.
