I got a couple of Ruined Factorum sprues that came with Warhammer 40000 Imperium 34. The ruins are from the The Battlezone: Manufactorum – Sub-cloister and Storage Fane kit which did cost £37.50 at Games Workshop and contains two similar sprues. So at £8.99 you would be making a saving of £9.76. However you can’t buy the kit anymore anyhow.
You get two more corner ruins, all coming on a single sprue. I did manage to pick up a second magazine and decided that I would convert them. It was a relatively simple conversion swapping over the corners. With the larger sides I needed to cut them down.
This was quite hard as the plastic is very thick. I use a combination of cutters and a craft knife.
I also cut some of the window frames as well.
This is the other converted ruin.
You can see how I cut the corner down by comparing the above photograph with this one of the unconverted ruin.
I had to cut up the flooring. This was done by scoring along the lines on the flooring with a craft knife.
Having converted and constructed the models, so I now have two different (yet similar) ruins.
I gave them a white undercoat.
You can see what I did by comparing the photo above with the photo of the unconverted ruin.

I am intending to follow the same painting process I used on the original ruins. I gave the ruins a base coat of Mechanicus Standard Grey Spray. The ruins were then given a wash of Nuln Oil Shade.
I then drybrushed them using Citadel Dry paints. I first used some Dawnstone Dry Paint and then a lighter drybrush of Terminatus Stone.
