This midcentury A-frame motel entrance canopy is modeled for hobbyists and layout builders. The assembly includes a steep pitched A-frame roof with a clear ridge, a horizontal drive-under portico supported by columns, triangular buttress supports at the front corners, and a low brick planter at the drive entrance. Signage, vehicles, and people are removed to keep the model generic and scene-ready. You will receive one master STL at 1:87 (HO) — scale in your slicer for other sizes. The model prints well on resin and FDM: consider splitting roof/portico/planter for smaller build volumes and use light supports for the portico soffit. Ideal as a focal building for 1950s–1970s roadside dioramas, HO model railroad layouts, and display scenes. See included README for scaling tips and sensible support orientations.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
