It does not look like a parking garage? Look at it, I doubt you could fit more then two or three cars on top, and the bottom is probably to small to fit anything bigger then a compact in it.

knight of awsome DartStriker Green stuff, expensive but it works the best for me anyways. You can look for it on GWs workshop. ok what about making structures? Sorry it took so long to answer this, It got lost in the sea of threads. I like to use a substance called Celluclay. It is great for makeing craters, and can be used to be pasted on to structures to give it a stuco appearance. It's infact premixed paper mache. The other stuff I sware by is Crayola model magic, it is an air drying foam clay. Light and no mess. very nice for all kinds of stuff. Once you open the pack however you commit to useing it all.

I noticed not many people are using the sprues...
How do you use the sprues you may ask?
Items
several sprues with no bitz on them.
a box with a lid
a pair of clippers (or an old meat grinder if you're feeling lucky)
and a small bottle of bolt gun metal (for regular metal) or tin bitz (for rusty metal) or you can add black as well with the metal to give the apperance of schorced metal.
step one- clean off sprues of all bitz
step two- take clippers and cut the sprues into pieces large and small whatever you want for your terrain
step three- depending on the size of your box...I recommend a small one... take two or three globs of whatever metal you want to use (the paint) on your paint brush and put the globs at the bottom of the box.
step four- put many sprue pieces in the box (not filling. In fact about 30 or so will do in a small box)
step five- close box, Pick up in one or both hands, and shake for about 2-5 minutes....If you didn't follow step four properly and put too many in shake for about 6-10 min.
step six- open the box If it looks like everything got an even coating (to your liking) then leave it open and let it dry.
Note: It may be nessicary for you to add more paint than what I have stated here.
last step add glue where ever you want to place your new Iron bars and scrape piles.

Hey I just found out that some "Dollar trees" carry a bunch of fake plants.
Now...I don't know about you guys but a bunch of fake Ivy for a little under 3-4 bucks is a steal....Will post terrain creation soon

I've noticed that many odd types of dirt and stuff makes for good flocking. Parking lot dirt is great for ash waste, crushed red brick for martian-like surface, builders sand generick dirt add a touch of paint and it can also look like gw flocking. If you need color in your dirt crushed colored fish rocks work nicely. Crushed blue fish rock with a blue/clear coat of nail polish looks like ice. Most of the time some of the really good stuff is free. Keep your eyes peald.
Also food coloring can be added to clear nail polish to create nice looking blood,water green slime and any thing else you can think of.

123colt None of these are painted (as you can see) but I figured I would show them anyway...  Great for take and hold missions!^  Other view.^  Last remains of a building.^ I didn't bother making any dirt or anything.  Other view.^ It's not anything special but they're fun to use. Enjoy! WOW. even with the lack of paint they still look GREAT. i have set aside a project of making roughly 5 ruined city buildings out of foamboard and foam packaging. there are some great ideas for city terrain on the GW website and their new apocalypse expansion. i am also trying to build some AWESOME storage vats (they look pretty damn real. i swear) from an old tin can and cereal box cardboard. (pics will be posted soon i hope).
