I'm far from an expert when it comes to making terrain – some of the buildings I see here are ample evidence of that – but, my stuff generally passes the 'can game with it' test.
Because I'm not a 'professional' terrain maker, I like to keep the building side of things as simple as I can, and I use materials and tools that most people have in their modelling drawer or that they can buy from their local art shop. Consequently, I occasionally do a 'how to' for my blog, taking lots of pictures of what I'm doing as I muddle along.
My latest how to, or rather as I did, is about a Spanish windmill for my peninsular war stuff, though I can also see it (with no historical evidence) appearing in Italian Wars battles too (because I make generic 'Med-terrain').

I just hope you like it, and it passes muster.
