This 3D printed house is something I purchased a couple of years ago along with two others. All three are based on the design of the Sears catalog houses of the early 1900's. The one I am finishing here was the largest of the three and I intended to use it to house the speaker for the grade crossing in Carlin. This particular house had a total of 5 pieces, there shown in the photo below after they had been sprayed with primer. There was also a base and a small roof section not show here.
This is what it looked like after painting. The small roof section is also present in this photo. Painting these is similar to painting a Design Preservation Models (DPM) building. I started by air brushing the base color then brush painting the trims and any details. On this model I painted the chimney and the foundation walls a red brick color.
There had already been a base prepared for this scene made from fiberglass reinforced plastic paneling. Here is the completed house glued down to the base with a car port and other surrounding details being added. The wire and plug sticking out on the right side of the base is for the grade crossing speaker.
After installing the fences and more details at the work bench here is the completed scene installed on the layout into a recessed area that is surrounded by styrene strip with the scenery built up around the outer edges. I still want to add a tree or two and that or other changes will be easy as this entire scene is removable.
