(1)Stalingrad building ruins- At a convention, I found someone who creatively used/converted plastic building models to do a massive Stalingrad modular terrain board. I lost track of the dioramist/modeller. My question is how would you modify, alter or melt hard plastic or styrene building models into ruins?
2 Gaming Tables: I am still looking into having a gaming table(s) for my miniatures. What factors would you consider before either purchasing or making a table? Do any of you have free (or other arrangements) plans, pictures of such? What dimensions (height, size, number of legs, etc.) , materials would you use for the legs, table, storage areas if any, etc.

Best gaming tables I've seen are at the GW stores in Toronto Canada back about 15 years ago. 4'x4' tables on caster wheels that have 6"-12"spaced shelving enclosed with door. You can build 2, so you can move them together for bigger games, or you can just put 2' or 1' fold-down wings on 1, You need a lot of shelving for terrain. If you make it basic to be placed on top of a normal table, or you can make it on 12"x12" preset squares, with some bigger 24"x24" squares. You can make them modular so you can rotate them and make them work on all sides.

The casters mean you can push it in a corner and then pull it out when you want to play, in the corner you can also use these as a hobby work desk or an army display table.
