Americana

A selection of designs generously made available, intended for 3d printing.

Unlike many 3d printed model buildings that are primarily intended for wargaming (though often suitable for dioramas) these designs follow one of the principal techniques of injection moulded kits in that component parts have been separated to allow multiple colours to be used. This of course does not stop you from painting them as you see fit or applying extra detailing.

The designs were conceived as accessories for Ho model railroad and similar scaled dioramas but using the fdm filament printing system they can be enlarged to suit S, O, Gauge 1 or even slightly larger such as any of the myriad "G Scales" and/or Playmobil/Geobra.

Some of the designs will no doubt be capable for scaling down for TT or N gauge, either using a finer nozzle with fdm or using a resin printer, though a resin model will only be available in a very limited range of colours.

Should your primary interest be wargaming please note that the models, as with many plastic kits, are not designed to be split to give access to each interior level, indeed often they do not have interior floors. I suspect that most of the "3d printed kit" designs could be adapted to produce an interior ground floor and removable roofs could be arranged for most.

If you have not already done so please read through this linked page regarding scales and gauges along with printing options prior contacting me.

Because of the quantity of designs I have split the pages in to several sections which I hope will be an aid though rather obviously something like a church or petrol station might well be found in downtown, suburban or rural settings.
