The majority of my buildings in various states of manufacture. Some are basically finished others need alot more work.

I use (don¥t know the name in english) but it is cardboard- foam-cardboard 5mm thick for the buildings. Cut it, glue it with whiteglue and then paints it with "structure paint". Structure paint is like a paint with sand in it, it covers small mistakes and so very nicely. Very easy, very quick. After that I paint it the color I like and then wash and drybrush. Stick details on it to make it look abit more "lively" and it is done. I use details like little pieces of wood/cardboard under windows, posters on the walls, doors, junk leaning against the walls and such.

Some of my houses have detachable roofs. These buildings will get a simple interior. I have printed out wallpaper and floors from textures found on the internet. It will look quite good I think with "marble floor" and wallpaper!

I will build some movealbe barricades from junk to use as roadblocks that pesky insurgents and civilian mobs can build to block roads.

Very nice looking.... it looks like I have to get off my butt and starting putting some buildings together too!

I like the idea of the printed out wallpaper....

The material is usually called "foam core" in English. It's good stuff for building construction and is used in most architectural models. Good choice, Nils!
