This is a neat site.  I had seen something like it before, but not as well set up.  

 

I used that other site and made some brick for a foamcore building shown in the background of this photo - the three story one farther back with two rows of windows at the top and a long white sign on the front.  I printed it on a color laser printe on normal paper.  From four feet away - as close as you can get to it since it is back in the layout - it looks perfect.  You have to be less than a foot from it to tell its just paper.

It is the Premier Hotel, a slightly bashed version of the Woodland Scenics built-up Emporium.  Since I had Lionel's Legacy Hotel down the street, I decided to name this the Premier.  I added a full first floor interior and LED lighting, etc.

Guys, great pictures and ideas thanks!

 

Malcolm, I too have been playing around with the Clever Models buildings, mostly in Photoshop up to this point. I have to say, I am starting to lean a bit more "mixed media" in terms of the card stock buildings, meaning, starting with the Clever Models and modifying in PS to my liking. Then add Tishy(sp?) windows or glazing, add on plastic or metal parts, (down spouts, conduit etc.) and wood details (mostly stairs). While I have only completed one building I have a few "flats" that I have been training with and just love the results. Printed brick especially looks more realistic than what I can achieve with any other method that I have tried. I will probably look to work with a few wooden buildings over the winter.

 

Great work guys.

 

Charlie
