I'll be watching this thread with anticipation.....I'm sure a lot of others will be too !
Looks extremely promising ! :-bd
Cheers - Phil.
What Phil said ^^^ ! :D
Shaping up very nicely indeed 8)
Good start, Andy. Need some idea of size (a coin, matchbox, 10mm figure etc. alongside) :)
Hi there Hertsblue it never occurred to me to put a figure to represent the scale, I have now included a picture so you can see the scale.

thanks Andy
Someone is interested for this kind of structures made of Laser cut MDF ? ;)
It's a big old piece of kit, then. Is that hardboard you're using? :-\
Hi everyone
as promised here is the update on the Stalingrad factory ruins. To more factories have been completed one left do which I may get done over the weekend. Then I'll move on to Stalingrad apartment blocks. The material used is hardboard.

What scale for bananas ?
;)
Great job !
Looking good 8). Have you decided about rubble yet i know some people use cat litter and i think your going to need a fair bit. Also will it be later on in the Stalingrad battle i.e snow? Looking forward to see how they turn out :)
It's going to be a pretty impressive suite of buildings once it's done. Good job so far. 8)
Is it me ?
Or is that the neatest. cleanest, most pristine (ahem) 'work' table that we've ever seen ? ;)
Coming along very nicely Andy....Keep it going !
Cheers - Phil.
Really nice start there Andy
Hi everyone
ok the fourth building has now been completed and here are the photos at some point in the future I will construct the Stalingrad tractor factory.

As for the scale of the bananas I'll leave that entirely up to you?

The rubble will be a mixture of cat litter and N gauge track ballast

The reason the workspace is extremely tidy is because it's the wife's table, mine is not a tidy.

Hi everyone
I have now textured the bases with Polycell Textured Ceilings Course Effect and Polycell Multi Purpose Polyfilla
(http://www.10mm-wargaming.com/images/making-buildings/stalingrad-ruined-factory-7.jpg)
All comments welcome
thanks Andy
Looks absolutely belting Andy.
Cheers - Phil.
Coming along nicely Andy
My only comment would be that you can save some dosh by buying ready-mixed filler from Poundland for...um...a pound :) Cheaper than 'proper' Polyfilla & just as good - I'd recommend mixing a touch of sand in [for more depth of texture] as well as some PVA [to help seal it & give it further protection from the rigours of gaming]
Looking good though - these will look top-notch once they're done :)
Hi everyone
Ok I have now added a few more details some doors and removable roofs, I am still undecided as to whether to add more roofing material, anyway here's the pictures.
Does Pendraken do oil drums? And if so do you have a picture

Thanks Nick for the heads up on the Polyfilla from poundland that should saved me a few pound. :)
All comments welcome
thanks Andy
You're welcome :)
As for your roof sections - I think some crossbeams here & there, maybe some corners still on & rubble in the centre of the buildings (where they've collapsed in) would be good - otherwise everything might look too 'empty'?
Looking great...i'll follow with interest to see how it turns out ;), thanks for posting Womble67

Hi everyone
To be honest not much progress, work family etc has all got in the way. Anyway I have now added more roofing material, rubble, and done a little bit of painting. However I am hoping to finish these over the weekend fingers crossed.

I totally agree with you about the buildings looking empty
All comments welcome

Coming along a storm Andy !!
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Cheers - Phil
Looking great,
for internal detritus:
Mix a tub of sharp sand and fine gravel, a few spent matches and cut off flash/spures spares, pour in, drizzle with PVA, leave for 48 hours, spray & highlight...
Practise in something else first so you don't trash your work!

I think they look GREAT Andy !
Cheers - Phil.
Don't know about the grass...
Looking superb!
Btw have you seen Timecasts 6mm Stalingrad set up?
http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/film/strawdogs2011/timecastst.html
(http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/film/strawdogs2011/timecastst.html)
I imagine more Stalingrad in wintertime...but that's just me.
Great buildings. Well done =D> :-bd
I tend to agree with you Barbarian, I tend to think of Stalingrad as covered in snow but the 6th Army first arrived at the end of the summer so then the grass is okay :)
Hi everyone
thank you for all your comments. I hope you enjoyed watching this thread as much as I enjoyed making the ruins.
Andy
Very nice. I can already picture Snipers lurking and troops moving and stumbling through rock coverd streets.
Good thing about that terrain is it can be used for lots of different settings, as well as Starlingrad.
