NEW GUY ON THE SCENE!!! AND I NEED ADVICE!!!

Hello and to the forum. 

As for ruined buildings, you can buy resin kits. Verlinden has lots of ruined buildings.  If you are handy, you can actually buy supplies from your local hardware/craft stores (this requires you do some research as well).  Good luck and happy building

Welcome. Quick bit of netiquette: typing with the caps lock on is considered shouting and rude. It's also harder to read.

when I build building for 1/100 or 1/144 dio I usually use the products called "Hard rock?"

It's basically the thin plastic plate with the foam core in between. You can get this in various thickness and you can treat it like thick cardboard but you can glue and paint using modelling paints...

Of coz for 1/32 there are numerous resin kits available from 3rd party and if you really want the old Airfix made several in 1/32 scales as well some other major brands...

Pick up a copy of Sheppard Paine's; How to build Dioramas, available at your LHS or even directly off this site. It will tell you everything you need to know about how to make your own buildings.

Shep Paine's book is hard to beat if you want to pull off some great dios.  It's a good thing to keep handy for reference.  It'll be the most important book about modeling you could own.
