Building from scratch may be easier than you think. These are plans and not kits, so you are not paying extra for pre-cut materials, step by step instructions, or a detailed materials list. Instead, you get the details you need, the choice to use whatever building materials you choose, and the freedom to customize as you like. It's a simple as: Print to standard letter size paper, cut out the templates and trace onto balsa, basswood, styrene, foam board, or any other choice of hobby material. No calculations necessary - templates are scaled to proper size. Basic hand tools can produce incredible results. Specialty tools make the job easier, but you can go a long way with just a hobby knife, razor saw, and straight edge. |

or...try Cardstock Model Building Each scaled plan set, (unless otherwise noted), comes with a bonus ready to print cardstock version in addition to the regular plans. Cardstock printed structures have a unique appeal. They can be an inexpensive alternative to wood or plastic construction, and if you make a mistake you just print out another sheet. You can apply weathering techniques to greatly increase realism. A cardstock model also makes an excellent "mock-up" prior to scratch-building with other materials. Also available on request are WMF template files importable into Model Builder software. *This is subject to change. Click here for details. * Now included - 11 page Cardstock Modeling Guide as well as a 12 page generic Construction Guide! Color cardstock file included (N, HO, OO, and O
scales)

And if you want a challenge... For the 'craftsman' who enjoys scratch building and wants more of a challenge, scaled plan packages include a set of scaled ‘blueprints’ for a true scratchbuilt structure using your choice of materials. Imperial measurements are provided, but since all plans are drawn actual size you can work in metric if you prefer.
Scaled plans included (N, HO, OO, and O scales)

Scratch Building made easier
- Scale model plans for HO Scale, N Scale, OO and O Scale model railroad buildings and structures. Create realistic,
inexpensive scale model buildings for your model railroad layout, diorama, or toy train set. Build to accurate scale with Computer Aided Design miniature plans or simply cut out the traceable templates.
As an added feature, you can print out color patterns to card stock to create paper models of buildings and structures. If 'kit-bashing' is more your style, try customizing, or combining patterns. Use up your left over model building supplies to create
a unique scale model structure. View our on-line catalog of HO Scale , N Scale, OO and O Scale plans to get started on your next building in scale project. Beginners Welcome!
