Those look great!
I suck at the painting part so they never quite look right for me.
Thanks! The painting is much easier than you might think. The models I printed have indents for the brick mortar (don't know if that's the right word), so I spray painted everything black, then used a sponge brush to quickly paint the bricks gray while leaving the black lines. Used a small brush to paint some of the bricks brown, a napkin to dab some green over everything, then a basic wash layer (tiny drop of brown/ black paint in a bunch of water) to finish it off.
Terrain and buildings are easier to paint than minis and figurines and whatnot. I have very, very little painting experience, but things like this are easy to make look good. Keep trying if you're not happy with how yours looks, the next one will always look better than the last!
