I have been trying to design some buildings for my 6mm games. I would appreciate your thoughts.

They look good to me and their flat tops will help to place units without having to remove the buildings first which sort of defeated having nice terrain models in the first place.
Are these modelled on some sort of 3D CAD system?

@AJ at the bank: These could be used for whatever you wanted. I will be using them in sci-fi settings. I plan to get these printed via Shapeways and then create molds and make duplicates out of resin.

@Leader: The flat tops were done on purpose so troops could be placed on the tops. Yes I made these in a web based program called TinkerCad.

I think they look great, I'd buy them in resin, 28mm scale...

@hdbbstephen: I'm not sure I will be doing these in 28mm. I'm going to try them in 6mm first. If that works, you never know.

I have been working on more designs. This is just doors and windows that can be used for scratch building terrain or the basic designs can be added to my building designs.

I would love to hear your input. What do you like? What could be better?

Doors (openings are mostly 8mm x 4mm

Windows (these are generally 4mm x 8mm)

Garage Doors (20mm x 30mm)
