20mm MDF ruins making progress

 Remember I bought these as a pack, along with an in-tact farm. Three of the buildings are pretty much four sided and are built as a damaged building. There is little to no customisation with them. The remaining ruins were a varied assortment of corner sections. A while back I made a decision that I would base the ruins. More recently I decided I would try and sort some corner sections into parts of the same building. You will see three of my ruin sets have two parts to them. I think they are pretty effective. 

The bases are wooden. They have come from the back of a mirror or a photo frame. I can't remember, but I saw it and rescued it from the bin. It has been in my cupboard for a year? Today I measured it up and wasted a lot of time sawing it to pieces. I started with the saw of my swiss army knife. I continued with a foldable garden saw meant for branches. In the end though I realised that if I scored the same area with a Stanley knife a few times, I was able to just snap the wood. Much quicker. But hey, we live and learn. 

I am not permanently attaching the three "complete" buildings to their bases. I have a feeling there might come a time when I would rather they be un-based. This may never happen and I might change my mind. Only time will tell. The remaining ruin sets will be generously covered in rubble and painted up. 

I sanded the edges and rounded the corners to make them less harsh. You can see that I labeled the ruins and the ruin bases so I wouldn't get confused later. 

This ruin is just a corner piece. I quite like it on its own though.

The thought of basing/storing tiny corner pieces like above was part of what made me think I will base them together as the same buildings. 

This is just the one building piece. I will put a lot of rubble around the edge and perhaps build up remains of a wall.

This one is tall. I like that. Once I have completed these I will need to get in the attic and dig out my other corner ruins from that Kickstarter many, many years ago. Been sitting in a box since 2013 probably. I reckon I put them together once or twice but have never, ever used them. After all, I switched pretty convincingly over to 6mm in 2016 I would say and haven't really looked back.
