Items I designed and had printed at shapeways to be used in a 1/87th scale diorama. All items are based on actual prototypes and drawn from pictures.

Wow man, that's amazing. What is the typical cost from Shapeways fr one of these tiny vehicles?
Made of sandstone? Some of them look metal....

I used a pill bottle as the start for an HO scale drug store model, with an apartment above. The sidewalk, doors, windows and stairs are 3d printed on my Afinia printer, including the glass block skylight.

This is very nice. Where did you print this? Did you use a service like Shapeways? What is the size of it in inches?
I printed it on an Afinia printer. It is about 2.5" wide.
Thanks,
I just finished up this little gas station this week. \Based on a real prototype in McLean TX. I also printed it in 1/48 scale.Attachment 1080

You are to be congratulated on the work you are doing. I'd love to see some pix of your layout.
Would you write a "How to ..." on printing buildings and external textures, please?

I will post some pictures of the drawings...see if that helps you. Thanks for asking Emu.
What is the thickness of the walls you are printing?
OME
What I do, versus what works for you, and what looks good to you is up to you! Also, different printers may not produce the same product that the Afinia does.

I draw in full scale, but assume I am going to reduce the model to HO, 1/87th scale, for printing. For it to look right, in my opinion, and in order to print on my printer, I draw the bricks 4" x 8". They I bevel them 1" all around. Once you save this and a component, you can just start laying bricks. You will need to make corners, and other special shapes.
Attachment 1364
The drawing has many layers of brick, but it gives you an idea of how they are all connected together.

I hope this helps.
The wall is a little thicker than most I do, as that is what is needed for this project. In most cases I make them 3" thick at the minimum...at the mortar line. That would be about .034" once reduced. I do plan in some bracing on large walls to prevent warping. I also thicken up the edges, both top and bottom to 6-8" thick by 3-4" high.
You can see the bracing added to the drawing on these buildings.

I will post some picts on the lap siding later this weekend.
While playing around with printing glass blocks, I ran across a building in Memphis, and designed a similar building. Here is a link to the design and construction details.

Here is a building I just completed. Designed based on an actual structure. The building is HO scale, so about 4" square. This was printed on an Afinia printer. Design and construction detail, along with a lot more pictures, can be seen at: http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/08/c...ted-in-ho.html
