 Roadhouse |  The building is long, tall and narrow to provide an imposing frontage at the track level. Depth of building is restricted to conform to limitations of space. The main structure is 19" long, 10.5 inches high - without the platform that it will sit on - and 4.5 inches deep. With the staircase to the 2nd story offices and the ticket booth at the opposite end of the building its 22" long. The dispatchers windows/office is on the second floor and overhangs the platform. Except for the chimney pots, small smoke jacks, the stair handrail and the window material its all paper - poster board - backed by 0.10 chip board.

 Z scale models: here are two models made with your software. There is a switch yard tower and a row townhouse, the building in the back is a plastic model. The printed models have much more color variation than a plastic model and even at this close magnification they still have a 3d affect at the doors and windows. From 2 feet away on my layout you cannot tell the plastic from the printed models, and in my opinion the printed actually look better because of the numerous colors (not limited to three or four colors like a plastic model). I have made more Z scale models but have not taken pictures yet. ==Stephen, CAD manager see more pictures of these buildings |  Old time store, get this building FREE |  train station, click to see more pictures of this great project!

 Sears House, made using the Sears book plans |  As promised, here are some photographs of my first attempt with your program. I am really happy with the outcome. The model was based (loosely) on the photo that I downloaded from Google. I took a hint from John Wiffen’s models for the roof. I extended the tiles downwards by about 1mm for each row. After sticking them into thin card I cut each row separately 1mm above the front edge of the tile. I then stuck each row down separately, starting from the bottom and overlapping by 1mm. This let your “shadows” show but also gave a realistic profile for the tiles. The walls are two layers of card, with the windows on the inner layer and the outer layer cut out to reveal them. I also ‘glazed’ by also printing the widows onto clear plastic and carefully superimposing them. I reckon the whole thing looks pretty authentic, so thanks for your software. I am now free to design a whole village, based on where I used to live in Scotland 45 years ago! Regards, Peter Meadows |  |
