Downloadable building kits
The video looks at 3Dk, a British supplier of downloadable building kits and building papers for model railroads. I have both their free models and they look good.
I've also built or kitbashed models downloaded from Clever Models (US), Scalescenes (UK), Model Railway Scenery (UK). All produce very nice kits that compare well to plastic kits. With the price of plastic kits going through the stratosphere, paper models look better and better. From right to left, the photos are two pix of a kitbash ("Vague Industries") using four Clever Models kits, two pix of a scratchbuilt factory using building papers from Clever Models and ScaleScenes, another Clever Models kitbash, Clever Models' "Habbaker's Garage, and small shed from ScaleScenes (a free download).

@ Sakrison/Downloadable Building Kits
I purchased and built a Clever Model kit of a rural store (now out of business, and the building abandoned and overgrown) in French Camp, California that was near where I worked, and where I would occasionally buy an Eskimo Pie during my lunch hour just for an excuse to get off the plantation. Actually, it was a plantation, I worked for the county and the county jail and honor farm were just down the road from the building complex I worked in. Anyway, the Clever Models store kit did a good job of capturing the look of the original. I keep it on my desk as a reminder of my past. I am looking at another Clever Model, a water mill in Indiana. It looks similar to a couple of old water mill buildings that are still standing in SW Ohio. And Here are two more UK sites that offer paper buildings: Wordsworth Model Railway KINGSWAY MODELS - Home Page Look at the websites carefully and you may find the free samples. |
