I just completed a marathon cardstock manufacturing where I made close to 30 wall tiles and something like 45 connecting columns. I plan to turn this into the basis of my sunken city of Rhest for use in my Red Hand of Doom campaign. I love the basic modularity of it, though I dearly wish there were more wall tile lengths as well as other angles besides right angles (hint: modders!!!). Those little curved parts on the columns are kind of a pain too, but I like the visual appearance of it. Overall the set has a Minoan feel, which I'm sure was intended since that was the original fabled location of Atlantis.
As the Rhestilorians in the adventure employed an eagle motif, and due to the idiosynchrocies of my homebrew setting (floating continents = very little real ocean), I had to downplay most of the fish decorations, limiting myself to one large fresco and one small one. The sphynxes (sphinxi?) will be redesignated as gryphons, and be judiciously employed about the ruins. I'll also be employing the upcoming swampwoods set for walkways around the main ruin. Prior to that preview I was intending to use the wooden fort walls from Skull Cove.
I have also adapted a few other sets to depict surrounding ruined and flooded buildings. Hilltop Encounters has some nice ruined walls, and I'll be using the Dungeon Entrance from Villageworks to depict the tops of mostly flooded buildings.
When we actually have these encounters, I'll try to rember to post pictures.
