daocstasr Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 http://www.bigindoortrains.com/indoo...ing_fronts.htm I printed the "S" scale (1/64) at 200%...just a little small at 1/32 scale...the door was 2 1/4". Just testing them. Printed an "0" one out at 175%...the door height was 2 1/2"...better I think. I just saw they have them in 1/32 scale...there is a page link on the page above. They would make a neat front street all lined up...I might cover up my "wall" on my rally track with a street...I thought I was done working on it...maybe not. LOL. Some good Building Fronts for a street Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daocstasr Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here are some I put together tonight...I think they look okay. They're not glued on....just propped up. Let me know what you think... Dennis Your welcome for the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey Dennis handy site - I liked his suggestion of doing like a paper tole to create a 3D like effect cheers DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 They do look rather effective. Nice find. Embs Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

daocstasr Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm going to add some of those "3D" pieces today and try to give it a little depth like he did. We'll see what happens. Printed a couple of extra buildings out too...to fill the street up just a little more. Thanks, Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Your track would be a lot of fun Dennis - it is a bit like my first track cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleby flyer Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 They look good. I might try getting some photos of older buildings in some of the smaller towns around Brisbane to give my track a more Aussie feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daocstasr Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Danger...our tracks do look similar...it is fun...sometimes I just wish it were BIGGER, we all know where this is leading...lol Eagleby, thanks...that's a good idea...hometown feel. Not that I'm lazy but these were already sized for me...lol...all the work done just print and cut. I just printed 2 more and glued them all together. I detailed a couple of them like the other article mentioned, but didn't add much to the appearance. I'm going to add some awnings. Laid it on the track just now...looks pretty good. I'll take pics tomorrow. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daocstasr Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Added some details...now I just have to attach some magnets to the back and to the track and it will be set. Here are some pictures. I built a couple of billboards also - just have to make the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
