3D Printed HO scale buildings - Model Railroader Magazine

Well, baseball is back and I'll be finding my evenings and weekends at Wrigley Field and of course all the other outdoor activities that summer brings.  Therefore this will be my last major update for awhile.  Here's what was done in the last couple of months:

Chicago 2 and 3 flats.  These are pretty much the most basic of housing in Chicago. You'll find them everywhere in this city.  Not as embelished as the city's greystones, or 1800's era Italianate, Romanesque or Queen Anne, but they were fast and easy to build and yet very durable and have been easily adapted into modern homes today.  I created a basic model for the back and sides, and the facades can be interchanged and redesigned for all sorts of different styles.  I do have intentions of possibly making these files available

Next up are 2 structures that many of you would be familiar with.  Back when I returned to the hobby in 2015, I built these two Bachmann structures and then attempted to build interiors out of styrene sheets and printed background I collaged in photoshop.  It looked OK, but I really wanted to give this a try with the 3d printed interiors.  Additionally, the people inside are literally printed onto the floor slab.  I can't begin to explain how much easier they are to paint that way instead of trying to paint and them glue them in place  So, I made an exchange with a friend and I rebuilt these two structures and completed the intended interior buildouts.

Here's a few other projects I completed or I'm working on that will also have 3d printed interiors.

Milwaukee Ale Brewery. 

American Hardware.  Kitbashed 3 kits! This will be an urban market complex

Gorham building by Custom model railroads.  This will have a detailed interior

Also, I received a few requests to build the entire block of Alta Vista Ave in Chicago.  You can view that on google streetview to see why.  Not a particularly difficult endeavor, so that's likely to happen this year.
