Who makes best looking ruined buildings? (1 Viewer)

[GJB22]

I want to make a dio of KC germans advancing around the corner of ruined building. Who makes the best buildings to go with KC? I was thinking either using the berlin tenement by KC, or Build-A-Rama pieces A1-R and A1-L(BAR017 and 016). I like that BAR has a sidewalk, but I've heard KC figs look a little big with BAR buildings. Any opinions or personal dio pics using these pieces?

I guess it depends on how big a dio you want to do, and what country you want to set the scene in.
The tenement is fantastically detailed and a reasonable size, but very, well, German. Fine for it's intended placement, but might look a little odd in a Normandy setting.
Conte's range of formtech buildings are very good if you can get hold of them and work well with 1/30, even though designed for 1/32.
Hobby Bunker do a nice range of their own formtech buildings which would go well with a number of European settings.
You've already mentioned BAR, there's also JG miniatures who do a building line.
Nick Nasta (forum member here) makes his own and sells through George (Warrior) at Minutemen Toy Soldiers. You could do a lot worse than have a look through Georges site: www.mmtoysoldiers.com
George is the terrain king of the hobby and has got a ridiculous amount of pieces for sale.

Simon, you said it and I agree with you, Shannon may be the Queen, but George is the King.

Alex,
I would include both Rod and yourself in the category of 'Building Aces', but wasn't sure if either of you did it commercially.

I do like the JG miniatures buildings - normandy and winter....

I like Contes buildings, but JG makes great buildings. Those buildings by Debrito, are amazeing. Nick Nasta, and Alex make incredible buildings also. I dabble at buildings, but I need a lot of work on my damageing. I agree with Simon, George at Minuteman, and Matt at Hobby Bunker are two places you can find some great buildings. George always seems to have B&T buildings, they go great with the K&C figs. I always suggest to everyone, pickup a sheet of pink insulation foam at Home Depot, and give it a try, it's fun createing things with your own hands.

Debrito.

First of all, sorry for my English.

It is flattering, special because for me, you (Alex) make the best building and houses on this forum. Concerning my buildings, they are made from Foam and sand and a lot of people like to have something more solid as Buildrama does.

Mostly of my constructions are made for my own DIO, but the last two months I had sale 3 facades for a guy who wants a very damage look (see pic). I will try to display a few pics on an internet space because here we are limited on the size of the photos and if someone wants to know more about, it would be my pleasure to show all my works.

Here is my PM

I too agree...George has a ton of bulidings from alot of different people and companies to browse through. Here is one, of many, that I have bought.
