Very nice! I especially like the brick work on the Mausoleum!

Too fun! I did very similar buildings for my Plastic Army Men games. Mine were just corrugated cardboard building ruin sections, Hot Glued to make upper floors, and then primered Gray. I kept things very simple. Nice to see the same concept, only a bit more 'finished'. Looks really great. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

I love these! Fantastic work.
What is the "stained glass" window made from?

Tip on the church/mausoleum: A common technique that wargamers use for stained glass and other effects is printed on transparencies - it gives a really cool effect

Or trace it onto wax paper with a sharpy, then color in crayon.

or use real glass and paint on it... plexiglass does the same effect too.

While I like the look of the mausoleum as a structure (all of them look great), the open windows make it look more like a small chapel since mausoleums tend to be closed off as much as possible. Though if you'd cover the interior, you could add reliefs to the window slots and make it look like one, perhaps making them removable with a transparency one that could be fitted as well along with an interior that leaves it open for another option

In no particular order:
Thank you everyone.
The stained glass piece was the top of an air freshener. I knew immediately upon seeing it that once it's scented goodness had wavered it was mine, all mine, muahahahaha.
I've never thought about using wax paper, but I do own transparencies for just that purpose.
The windows are open because I use it for a Frostgrave scenario where skeletons pop out a random side every turn. They were originally sealed, but once I cut a few out, I decided to do all of them.
I actually found Avengers themed stain glass images on the web, that will one day make it onto a piece of terrain, but probably not until I play another Super Hero related game.
The brickwork was easy, but very time consuming. It involved drawing it on with a pen, slicing over the lines with an exacto knife to deepen the details, and then pen again to widen the cuts.

I could see using an air freshener in a mausoleum

There are days I miss playing 40k... then I think about giving Games Workshop a single penny and my nostalgia dies a horrible death.

You should see my Chaos Daemons army. 4000+ points, and not a single GW model in the mix.

Some more stuff I whipped up for Frostgrave The Keep Scenario, for Frostgrave, requires 4 2" circles to represent arcane teleportation circies. and an Archway I built, just because I made these marker stones for a custom Frostgrave scenario, I haven't gotten to play test yet.

Love that archway. Makes my inner child say "Iwantthat Iwantthat Iwantthat!" That isn't hard to make. Get some insulating foam and a sculpting tool.
