While not quite a tutorial, 15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity has a great article on modeling a mud brick / adobe town. The build was designed for ancient Troy, but as the author notes, such buildings are extremely versatile, applicable to more periods than you can count — even science fiction.

I’m inspired.

Wargaming Miscellany has a photo tutorial on making a bunker out of a hexagonal craft store box.
