A Ruined Church

Back when I was a poor wargamer and couldn't afford to buy manufactured products, I had to make my own and I built a few buildings, including a ruined church. I used it in a game recently and realised that I really should spruce it up a bit. So I did and this is it. 

I clad it in embossed plasticard, to look like a stone built building. I added details such as the corner edging and window details. 

I also mounted it on a vinyl tile as a church yard, added gravestones and a dry stone wall which I found on Ebay. The grass is static grass and the foliage on the walls is some leaf like scatter that I have. I like the way that this breaks up the wall shapes in particular. 

Further details were added in the form of grass tufts, flowers and a lamp from Sabotag3d. I also put some rubble around the building. I was going to add more collapse details on the interior, but I wanted to be able to move figures about inside. 

I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, it did take a while to get it finally finished and I stumbled along the way but I am glad that I kept at it. And if you're wondering what it looked like before I got to work on it, well, here it is:

Also, on the Storm of Steel Yotube channel, I have released part two of the How to Play Chain of Command videos, and a look at my German Stalingrad forces for Rapid Fire/IABSM. Have a look at both them here:
