This compact neoclassical European townhouse is sculpted to read clearly at HO (1:87) on model-railway layouts and small urban dioramas. The composition emphasizes a flat, vertically ordered façade on a narrow lot: evenly spaced tall window openings (a mix of rectangular and slightly arched heads) with modest surrounds and shallow reveals, subtle vertical pilaster suggestions between bays, a pronounced projecting cornice at the roofline and a slightly recessed ground-floor entrance approached by a short set of steps. A low balustrade/parapet at roof level provides a clean termination and a small balcony or balconet sits above the entrance bay, offering an obvious kitbash point for additional detail.
What you receive: one single 1:87 (HO) master STL file prepared as one watertight shell. The mesh preserves window reveals, cornice moulding and the recessed entrance while keeping filigree minimal so details remain readable in resin and high-resolution FDM prints. Included with the download is a short plain-text conversion note showing how to uniformly scale the 1:87 master to other common hobby scales (examples: 1:76 OO, 1:48 O, 1:160 N) using your slicer or a mesh editor. This listing provides only the single 1:87 master STL as the authoritative source for printing and kitbashing.
Print notes: the façade favors readable architectural features over microfiligree. For resin printers we recommend 0.05–0.1 mm layer height to capture cornice and window surround subtlety. For FDM printers, 0.1 mm layer height, 2–3 perimeters and a small positive horizontal expansion (if your slicer supports it) will help retain crisp edges. Cornice overhangs and the recessed entrance area will require supports; orienting the façade vertically reduces internal supports inside window openings and preserves reveals. Thin sill and cornice edges may benefit from adding small fillets or increasing shell thickness for FDM. Consider removable supports or small printed plugs if you want completely clean internal window frames post-print.
Use and kitbashing: the townhouse is deliberately narrow so it fits between taller corner buildings or can be repeated to form a terrace. Duplicate and align multiple copies to create longer runs, cut sections to make corner units, or add aftermarket bits (balconies, shutter sets, shopfront inserts) to adapt the building to different eras or locales. The block form and preserved landmarks (cornice, pilaster suggestions, entrance position and window spacing) are tolerant of boolean cuts and mesh edits for doorway relocations and window swaps.
Real-world sizing: the sculpt represents a narrow multi-storey residential building approximately 5000 mm wide, 9000 mm deep and 12000 mm tall in real-world dimensions; the included master is scaled to 1:87 (HO). Because only a single 1:87 master STL is provided, uniform scaling from the master is the recommended workflow for other hobby scales.
Provenance and limitations: this listing was prepared from a legacy project stub and a source render. Visible features listed above are taken from that material. Original prototype measurements and maker identification are not available in the source metadata; see measurement and review flags below.
Included files: 1x 1:87 master STL file, 1x short text file with scaling instructions and recommended print settings.
