{"product_id":"victorian-townhouse-and-layouts-00a753","title":"Victorian Townhouse and Layouts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a carefully composed late-19th-century terraced Victorian townhouse sculpted to read cleanly at HO (1:87) scale. The facade is vertically oriented across three storeys, with a narrow street frontage typical of urban terrace housing. Architectural details visible on the model include shallow projecting bay windows on the ground and first floors with conservative overhangs, proportionally narrow tall sash windows with defined lintels and slight mullion relief, horizontal string courses that break the vertical plane, and a molded decorative cornice that crowns the facade. A modest recessed framed entry with a short stoop and four riser steps forms a strong street-level vignette for HO figures, mailboxes or lamp posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roof is pitched with a central dormer that has a restrained overhang, and the composition includes paired chimney stacks with stout chimney pots sized to survive hobby handling. Brickwork is represented as subtle surface relief rather than deep incision so mortar definition reads under paint while avoiding fragile teeth. Stonework elements — sill blocks, lintel surrounds, entrance surround and cornice moldings — are modeled with clear separations so they take washes and drybrushing effectively at HO viewing distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale and what you receive: You will receive a single watertight STL authored at 1:87 (HO) scale — Miniature Reality ships one 1:87 master STL only. This master is intended for direct HO compatibility; if you require another scale, uniformly rescale the supplied STL in your slicer or CAD tool. The original staging project included a legacy prototype footprint note of approximately 5.0 m wide × 10.0 m deep × 11.0 m tall (5000 × 10000 × 11000 mm). At 1:87 this corresponds roughly to 57 mm wide × 115 mm deep × 126 mm tall (bbox guidance included in legacy text). Always inspect the STL bounding box before committing to scale-critical assembly or mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint guidance: For fused filament fabrication (FDM), orient the main facade parallel to the build plate to minimize seam and support scarring on the front face. Add supports under bay-window sills, the stoop overhang, dormer base and exposed eaves. Use 0.12–0.20 mm layer heights to capture cornice and shallow brick texture; increase perimeters around window openings and bay edges to preserve crispness. For resin printing (SLA\/DLP), standard hobby resolutions will reproduce the shallow relief and lintel definition; still consider light supports under projecting bays and the dormer. The model is delivered as a single exterior shell without internal drain holes; if you need internal access, split the model along floor lines or add access cutouts before printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssembly and modification notes: The townhouse is modeled as a one-piece exterior shell to simplify placement on a layout base. Operators who want modular stacking, interior access or separate roof sections should perform boolean cuts at the modeled floor lines or use the master as a base for further edits. Chimney pots are intentionally stout to survive handling; if you prefer finer pots, thin or replace them locally in your CAD tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainting and finishing: The modeled shallow brick relief benefits from a thin wash to settle into mortar lines, followed by a light drybrush to lift raised brick faces. Pick out lintels, cornice and window surrounds in contrasting tones to read clearly at HO scale. Weather chimneys and roof edges with a dark wash or subtle drybrush to simulate soot. The recessed stoop is an ideal location for a small HO figure cluster and street-level scatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat’s included: One single watertight STL authored at 1:87 (HO) scale of the complete Victorian townhouse (single file). No additional scale-specific files, cut files, textures or commercial branding are supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvenance and notes: This listing originates from a legacy MeshRef staging project. Architectural features described above (bay windows, sash windows, cornice, dormer, paired chimneys, stoop) are visible in the supplied stage renders and reflected in the staged STL. The automated staging recorded lower measurement confidence for the prototype footprint, so confirm the model bounding box in your CAD tool before committing to scale-critical prints or production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miniature Reality","offers":[{"title":"1:87","offer_id":44174622228567,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2078\/1911\/files\/camera001_4e712cb9-ed90-4efd-a994-ca1ab4756ac6.png?v=1787009679","url":"https:\/\/miniaturereality.com\/products\/victorian-townhouse-and-layouts-00a753","provider":"Miniature Reality","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
