Post apocalyptic terrain-ruins.

This is WARGAME MODEL MODS commercial buildings in varied heights. At £25 for 10 buildings laser cut in MDF, I had to try it out! Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, recieved well packaged Friday and build Saturday. 

Each building is packed with a rubber band. Went together really good. Pva glue and some tape while it dried. I must admit I love the smell from them.... Oh well, go on! Saturday evening, a beer, heavy metal in the earphones (Lone was in the same room being creative as well with painting) and I was set to make my city!


As mentioned, they go together very well. No clean up needed and really easy as each bundle was one building. Now...The first picture of the buildings is not mine. That is from Wargame Model Mods homepage. And to me...It looks too clean. A good base to start with, but needed a little bit extra. Clippers, a bit of card and some imagination. And here is my take on it!





The model used for scale is 28mm and from Grekwood miniatures . I still need to make some rubble here and there, paint it all and put some green foilage on it. Want to make it look more overgrown. This set is really a good basis for a ruined city, I may buy another set in order to fill the board. They have LOADS of other models, SCI FI themed, FANTASY themed and extra bits like bases and crates. Well worth a look. http://wargame-model-mods.co.uk/ 

Now if you will excuse me, time for me to get on working with these.

  6. They look very good, Johnny, although it's a shame we can't share the smell of them. Still, I bought some wooden bases last year and they have a very distinctive smell. I imagine your buildings will smell the same. I look forward to seeing them all painted.

  10. I think that they're probably the best value for money mdf stuff I've seen and will make the basis of some great terrain, your own improvements have quickly enhanced them a lot too.

  11. Cheers guys. Have added a bit of rubble now and are in the process of painting them.

  12. Why is there no scratch and sniff on the interwebs? Looking good. Like the fact you've made them more 'gritty', very cool

    1. Scratch and sniff on the internet? Think about that...Think about that just one more time mate!

  13. Those are some pretty nifty ruins! They look easy enough to make up... but then it always looks easy, and when you start it's a nightmare!
