This model house is a recreation of a classic Belgium residence, modeled directly from real-world references found on Google Street View in Meise, Flanders, Belgium.
I’ve spent many hours trying to figure out the best ways to split this model up into different parts to make sure it prints flawlessly without warping issues, while at the same time breaking it up into logical parts making painting actually fun!
The roof is split up into different parts which makes it possible to have a complex roof design that prints in simple easy to assemble parts. The walls are a single part which keeps it simple while still being able to print on small printers like my Creality Halot One. The windows & doors are also separate which makes them easy to paint. The gutters and downpipes are also separate parts which allows for easy painting and crisp details.
To save headache I’ve pre-supported all parts that need supports, and to save time in the slicer, I’ve included pre-arranged array files for all windows, allows you to drag a single file into your software and print a full set of windows perfectly spaced out.
• Scale: 1/87 (HO Scale)
• Assembled Size: Approx. 12.7cm x 6.6cm x 7.5cm
• Build Plate Compatibility: Largest part is 124.7mm x 57.1mm
• Testing: All parts have been successfully test-printed to ensure proper fit and detail retention.
While standard resin works well for the main structure, the window frames and downpipes are extremely fine in 1/87 scale. (optional) I recommend using a tough or ABS-like resin for these smaller parts to prevent snapping during support removal or assembly.
