After we took the decision to make quite a few new buildings for our Stalino campaign (it's going to be city fighting after all!), I got feeling and started to make two houses. They are inspired on the type of building you can se in the middle block of this photo, closest to the viewer, probably a several family dwelling. The photo should be from Stalino 1941: Said and done, I took two MDF bases of proper size (4x12 inches) and then cut out the walls with this in mind. I used white foamboard for the structure. Then I easily copied the walls once to get the second house. I just put them on another sheet of foamboard and let the hobby knife do the work. I made doors and windows out to the backyard to make them more interesting for gaming purposes (the houses on the photo did not have this, but the campaign is about another train-station than the one above so I did not feel that I needed exact copies). Each house has two apartments with no door between so I hope that one Soviet and one Fascist section will end up in each end of the house during play! Hopefully a interesting situation. We always have the roofs detachable so you can move around and fight in the houses. Front side of buildings: I glued parts together with PVA glue. After this I made the base for the roof in a similar way as the walls. Backyard side of buildings: Next building session will see chimneys and hopefully some work on walls, doors and windows. Cheers! /Shirty

love this foam board building-could you provide some templates for this and other building?

I'm not sure we have any templates, but I can try to take some measurments nex time I'm at the club. After all, they are basically boxes, so as long as you get the height in the right ballpark, you'll do fine.
