{"product_id":"low-poly-suburban-duplex-house-401839","title":"Low-Poly Suburban Duplex House","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis low-poly connected suburban duplex models a two-unit residential twin home joined by a central party wall under a continuous roof. The geometry emphasizes readable massing and silhouette over fine ornamentation: planar gabled roofs with modest eaves, faceted exterior wall planes, and simplified window and door apertures sized to read from typical hobby viewing distances. The composition is intentionally compact so the piece fits HO layouts and small vignette dioramas while remaining suitable for repetition to form terraced rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiles included and scale: You receive one assembled master STL prepared at HO (1:87) scale. Miniature Reality supplies a single 1:87 master only; scale the file uniformly in your printing workflow to print at other hobby scales (for example: to print at OO\/1:76 increase uniformly, to print at N\/1:160 reduce uniformly). We do not provide multiple pre-scaled files in this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisible subject features: The duplex is modeled as two near-mirror halves sharing the party wall. Roof geometry is expressed with planar faces and modest eaves and lacks fine cornices. Window and door openings are simplified cutouts without separate sashes or mullions; porch geometry is present on the front unit with a small covered entry and short stair. The foundation is expressed as a brick band around the base. Details are intentionally economical so the building reads well on layout distance and prints quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMesh and print notes: The delivered geometry is an assembled shell (both units joined at the party wall). The low-poly approach yields a lower polygon count to speed slicing. Overhangs and roof eaves have been kept modest to be forgiving for FDM printing at HO scale; orient the model to minimize long unsupported horizontal faces and add minimal supports beneath the porch and eaves if your printer needs them. Consider adding a thin scenic base (1–2 mm) in your slicer if you intend to glue the piece into landscaping or a roadbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse and integration: This duplex is aimed at suburban streetscapes, branchline residential scenes, and vignette displays on HO model-railroad layouts. Place it adjacent to sidewalks, short driveways, and small yard scatter; repeat the mesh to form a terrace. The low-poly aesthetic mixes well with both stylized and higher-detail buildings — separately printed porch posts, laser-cut trims, or aftermarket fences and shrubs are easy ways to increase perceived detail without modifying the main shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustomization and limitations: Fine architectural trim (muntins, ornate railings, engraved signage) is omitted from the base mesh. The STL is an assembled shell; if you require removable roofs, interior splits, hollowing, or separate printable subparts request a custom conversion and specify desired split lines and subparts. This listing originates from a legacy pipeline stub and prototype dimensions are provided as estimates for planning integration only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupport and delivery: The download bundle contains one assembled master STL at 1:87. Verify orientation and wall thickness in your printer workflow before long prints.
