Those would be nice for city terrain. However, I think if someone could replicate some of the old Gothic abbeys and Romanesque Churches in mini form  that be wonderful!

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.

Though I don't have any specific pictures, a lot of heavy industries have buildings that are perfect for modern combat skirmishes.

 

I work in mining, and mineral processing plants make instant battlegrounds, and they don't even have to be practical to look realistic since they're confusing as hell to look at.

 

 

Big mixing vat here, big rock tumbler there, couple of conveyor belts, ramps/staircases/ladders spread about liberally : BOOM! you got a convincing mine processing plant.

There are all sorts of cool spots to inspire, most not all that far away. Over on the WAMP Malifaux Group, there's a thread with inspirational sites

I'm not sure if the thread will be visible to everyone; SO here's an example of what's inside:

 

 

...pretty cool, eh?!

Its the remains/ruins of an Old Hotel...looks like a favorite spot for Count Dracula. I used that as the inspiration for a test model of Fast Flo's Fun House...I wasn't the one who posted it though.

I so want that hotel.  Just for the whole creepy vibe it has.  Wow.  That's awesome.
