@ faraway: I like those box builings indeed and since they are relatively easy to make, I like them even more 
But, as promissed I will show and explain a few things about the building process.
Let's start with the billboard.
The billboard is entirely build up out of styrene strips and sheet.
I started out by cutting a piece of sheet to form the base of the board. After that, the framework at the back of the board was constructed aswell as the gangboard at the front and the pillars.

The actual advertisement itself is an ad that appears in the game GTA San Andreas
While playing the game I made a screen shot of the billboard and then remade it with Photoshop to be able to print it in high quality. The print was cut in several wide strips before applying it. Not aligning the strips perfectly, helps to create a more realistic (and run down) look. As a finish the board is weathered with some chalk.
