I like the pic of the old clock tower. That might be a good one to use.

Yah I like it alot...It would be so cool to make it so that the clock face fell off at some point and the inner gears are exposed to the elements...

That would be great to do. Clock innards are fascinating and fun.

I was holding back alittle on the conservatory because its in the front yard..But in the back will be private and i can really put some effort into realism..I can build as big and as elaborate as i want..Thinking about abandoned rooms with moss growing and trees inside bursting through...I could build the rooms open like a exterior wall has fell so you can see the interior.....

I've been looking at images of old abandoned and ruined buildings. There are certainly incredible places out there. I can't wait to see what you do.
