What do people think of these
Anyone here got a printer and can estimate the print cost.
Are there local shops with printers?

In 2D (prints, that is - the models make up into 3D card buildings), there is also this (a whole town - not just one building!), which look pretty good [I think these featured in several of Henry Hyde's articles a few years back): http://www.erichotz.com/whitewash.html

The miners shack looks pretty good for a model, there is a lot of design time to make the printable file.
The detail in the model looks excellent.

I'll keep you posted on the cost of the printed model in 15mm from an english printer.

They are available printed on eBay. they can be done in  15/28 or 32mm/

They go fro about £6 to £35 (wow  a lot of money)

Mmm... that would appear to be a breach of the "personal, non-commercial use" part of the terms and conditions of those STL files...

A U.K. company cdr3d.com is licensed to print the models.
The saloon,bank and miners shack are all £13 each, the log cabin is £11 (15mm scale)

martin goddard

Yes Stewart. Try putting in 28mm and see the price whpp,up.

Think I might just knock up 3 buildings myself using stirrers!

Sean Clark

Although I hear Peter Pig make some lovely western buildings!

Yep! Stirrers it is. I shall make a few basic wood sided/shingle roof. A few small windows, as is common on frontier  buildings. I can pit up some pictures when they are done. Maybe a magazine article?????

What is this making up houses for Western in 28mm? Do we need this for something, I would be willing to give some a try if someone wants some, I have got plenty of lollipop sticks, matches (headless.) And balsa wood for just such projects.
Let me know if you want me to try and build something.
