Default Buildings

I have been thinking of trying to build some intact buildings for 40k. I'd really like to build a Armoury or law enforcement building but here is my problem:

I build one before and i made it out of formcore but it didn't look quite right.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would make good walls?

what was the problem with the foamcore building you made? i made some buildings with it and they turned out pretty good. in fact they are still intact and i made them awhile ago.

I use foamcore and spackle (polyfilla)for many of my buildings. I use dressmaking pins to hold the walls together while the glue dries, and after it's assembled, I coat it with spackle and itlooks more like ferro-crete then.

The other plus is that it can then be spraypainted without the foamcore dissolving.

A combination of foam core, Cities of Death sprues, and any cool bits that fit in. Kinda' the perfect recipe for any building.

You can make intact cities of death buildings. Another thing you could try is balsa wood or plasticard.
