Ok, taking the plunge ...
Can't say that I like the theme - I think ruins are widely overdone in the wargaming world and are often poorly done, bearing little to no relation to ruins in the real world. But that's just my shallow prejudice.
I love making models and take a ridiculous amount of time to try and perfect details that no one other than me would notice. So I am taking the step to challenge myself and produce something that isn't pristine but represents a wreck in a more 'realistic' way...
Those are words I may live to regret ...

Everyone has different likes and dislikes.
Personally I dislike the kinds of models that just throw poorly made stuff onto a model, dry brush it orange/rust and claim "its a ruin". Its the aesthetic of Orc/Ork models from GW. I understand that look is popular.
I prefer a level of reality in my models, as a physicist and engineer that's what appeals to me. For example, just throwing slabs of riveted metal plate randomly at something does not reflect a building/vehicle that would function.
There is also a huge difference between a model that I or others dislike on aesthetic grounds, and one that is (your word) "shit".
Your mileage may vary.

Must admit I wasn’t expecting such a serious response. The laughing emoji was there for a reason. ;)
As to my “mileage”, I really don’t care what other people do. If it pleases them all well and good. I just do stuff for me to amuse myself, it being a hobby and all that. :D

Erm,the BSC is a bit of fun,not all of us are brilliant modellers I'm certainly not ,it shouldn't be an existential crisis ;D lol
And by the way I'm just a cook...

No such thing as 'just a cook', and I am not expecting mine to be anything more than fun piece that will have a place on my tabletop, and work for several locations.

Well I know who I’d rather have come around to help with the Christmas dinner! :D :)

As an amateur cook of some ability, I hold the art in much respect, and am frankly in awe of those who can handle the logistic complications and discipline that go with doing it professionally. "Just" in your self-description seems very out of place!
All hail Antoine Careme!

that sounds interesting
