I finally managed to photograph my improved Mordheim terrain:

I just added "some" extra wall dimension. All the plastic bits and cardboard walls from the boxed set are included under the paint.

Much improved! 8)

Indeed!
Wonderful improvement of a basic building into something I would be proud to use on my table.
Love the brickwork and that floor is lovely.
:-*

That makes three of us of the "much improved" opinion. Adding some depth to the walls & losing the garish colors makes for some GOOD LOOKING terrain. GREAT WORK!
-
Very very nice! I'd say add some rubble in the next pieces! Of course, a "realistic" amount of rubble will make the scenery unplayable, but still, a few more rocks around will improve the look! ^_^

Thank you. You wouldn't want to see my first try at adding dimension (I used styropor back then). Took my some extra work to get rid of my first try before I could move on to this. I'm sad they don't sell the Mordheim sprues anymore, now that I've learned how to use them well.
I didn't include rubble because I do not like having my minis fall over. In earlier days ruins tended to be scavenged for bricks, so there's a cheap excuse for "no rubble" as well. Ive been carving some hard plastic bricks to build some seperate rubble piles to place somewhere else, but so far haven't magaged to finish them.

That is something i didn't think about, that's a very good reason!

They look perfect for Mordheim. Great work.

Great improvement on the old cardboard templates.

A WONDERFUL Creation! It's BEAUTIFULLY detailed & painted with lots of interesting angles to it...the windows are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!

A nice versatile piece of scenery.
-
Sweet! I really like the brickwork. A good picture for reference, thanks for sharing!
The wood is nicely weathered too.

It's not my creation, it's done as an amalgam of two old (no longer available) designs by the Dave Graffam (but he still has newer versions of them with "Swan House" and "the Hovel").
I just added a level to the hovel and put an elevated board and another roof between them.
The way I transferred the templates to foamboard is actually easy but difficult to describe. If you want one, I can do a step by step guide with photographs of how to do this all (but I have to cast Fram's Korra (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=55707.0) first, sorry lads).
The windows and the door are actually two part each, copied with Instantmold from master models I designed via carving and/or sculpting (thank you CMON for this wonderful product). The door and all frames are just press molded from repair putty (Pattex) and the windows are cast in UHU Acrylic glue (they are yellowish translucent when unpainted). The roof and some boards are just broken or cut coffee stirrers. The interior ladders are made from coffee stirrers too, with the addition of toothpicks.
Since you guys liked it so much, Here are the other two pics I posted on my blog:
