My first larger ruined building is posted up on Thingiverse and available for download: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5378136 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5378136)
This is an example of the unpainted file so you can see which parts were embellished in a more traditional analog manner:

And here is that same building with some bells and whistles and a 28mm figure for scale (which is also available for download on my Thingiverse page):

The second, taller, building portion:

And the full set together:

Printed for 28mm scale, this makes a set of ruins that are 190mmx380mm (each half is 190x190mm). Roughly 7 1/2" by 15", and should fit on most FDM print beds.
Happy printing, and if you do print one up for your table, please post it for all to see!
I plan to make a couple of other larger ruined buildings to go along with this one. More to follow on that front.

Very nice. If I had a printer I'd be printing a set up for sure.

Cool. I love the different levels of it. I also like how you could use those top levels by themselves as well. Good work.

It took me a while to go to the dark side, but I'm feeling firmly entrenched now! lol

Nice work Cook & thanks for sharing.
They would be great for kitbashing also.

I'm getting close to posting up the next couple of ruined buildings on Thingiverse. Well... relatively speaking. Let's just call it "closer." ;)
This is another two-part building with a 190mm x 380mm footprint. It prints in five parts (two left, and three right). I added some palletized scatter terrain and a 28mm figure for scale.

You can see the separate parts for this building a bit better in this picture:

Before posting the building, I want to finish painting it up to a fair standard. I've started getting the base colors on, so maybe 1-2 more weeks to wrap it up and upload it if anyone is interested.

Looks great. Every year, around Christmas time, I ask myself, "Is this the year I get a 3D printer...??" lol

Mike, I've grown to love both FDM and SLA printing and do a fair bit of both. Even if you just printed commercial (or free) products that other people have made, I'd wager that there are more options available digitally than exist in physical form. Unless you are wed to a particular game, sculptor, or producer of miniatures/terrain (in which case I'd bet money that there are very good faux-products digitally made that match the aesthetics of many of the most popular products), I believe it opens up a better selection without the wait for shipping, with the ability to duplicate the same few figures over and over in an economical manner if you need hordes, with the ability to do your own digital kitbashing (screw magnetized pieces, print the same figure with a sword, an ax, a .50 cal machine gun, and a missile launcher in a couple of hours) the world really opens to an infinite number of possibilities.

Sounds great! Thanks for the encouragement...
