The walls are just pieces of foamcore glued together at right angles. These walls can be cut to any shape and any offcuts can be used to make additional rubble on the base. For a little more rubble I clipped down bits of plastic frame to a brick like length and glued them to ruins base.

At this stage your ruin is pretty much complete, however it's looking a little flat. Many houses in the Old world have timbers of their frames jutting through the walls. So we added a few timbers to the front of the building. These timbers were cut out from the remnants of the foamcore, our timbers were 8mm wide and cut to the length of the building and then to size as we worked our way around the ruin.

If you made one of your corner pieces high enough you can add a first or even second floor to your ruin. This is simply done by cutting out a piece of foamcore and gluing it into place just above the windows. For a little extra detail you can lightly cut halfway though the foamcore to make a floorboard effect.

The ruin was then textured with a mix of filler putty and sand and then left to dry. Its best to paint the walls with the texture and leave the timbers untextured. While the textured walls are drying, flock the base with sand.

The ruin was drybrushed first with Snakebite Leather, Bubonic Brown, and then Bleached Bone. The buildings base was drybrushed as well, the grass areas is first painted Goblin Green with a highlight of Sunburst Yellow. The muddier areas are a series of layered colours, starting with Snakebite Leather, then Bubonic Brown and a final lighter drybrush of Bleached Bone.
