The dark patches were snow when I first got this monument. I looks like something in the middle of a big park or memorial or even graveyard. It is generic enough to work for about the last 500 years, and could even work from about HO to 1/32nd scale.
The center of the monument has an angel type figure and it looks great. The model was painted just like this apart from the dirt patches.

A small covered bridge from the Dollar Tree store.
A little too narrow for a tank, but good for infantry and even horse drawn vehicles. This is a good example of they type of items that can be found for very little money if you keep your eyes open. I feel like I always look at everything to see if I can use it with the hobby stuff.
These buildings are most frequently found at dollar stores around Halloween, Christmas and Easter, which is coming up. That nasty old paint job can be painted over or stripped off and then be repainted. Some of these are actually resin buildings which is great, much more durable than ceramic.
