Help Finding 3D pre-printed buildings for Central and South America

[FifteensAway]

Can anyone point me towards companies that are doing 15 mm buildings for 3D printed?  Preprinted, please, as I do not have a 3D printer.  Buildings should fit in with 1930s era Central and South America to a reasonable degree.

Still hunting on my own but, so far, no luck.  Appreciate any assistance in line with above.  And please remember, preprinted only.

Thanks!

Dark Realms has the Buccaneers Bay set, which is from the pirate era, but could work for the 20s too.

If anyone can find an extant example of a Stuart style half-timbered house anywhere in the Caribbean, let alone Central or South America, do let us know, I'd be suitably amazed.

Of course I have seen the odd example of modern pseudo-Tudor on my wanderings.

I wouldn't stress too much about buildings. By the early part of last century you'll find examples of pretty much every European and some North American contemporary styles in just about anywhere large enough to sport a postcode. Any urban centre will have examples of domestic, civil and commercial buildings that range from Victorian, through Belle Epoque to art moderne. If they are old, old, urban centres you can add layers of baroque and everything between.

For rural structures, you can probably adapt most Mexican or middle eastern adobe ranges. Adobe is quite a common vernacular style across the huge swathe of hemisphere you have nominated. The bit that will need adapation is the roof. Invariably such structures are pitched and usually clad in clay tiles. Even in the driest regions of South America, like the sertão in Brazil's north-east, you will find such structures with tiled, pitched roofs.

Anyone producing  Mediteeranean buildings will probably have something to offer. There are quite a few commercial printers producing the Jens Najewitz ranges of 3D printed buildings.

Timber buildings are surprisingly popular in the Caribbean and its littoral states. Quite a few domestic structures in places like Nicaragua wouldn't look too far astray on Cape Cod. You can utilise ranges producing shotgun shacks or even more substantial structures like this one (available in multiple scales). Just swap out the roofing for wriggly tin.

Not a print but good enough for government service and should be relatively easy to pick up locally. Wather's kits go together pretty easily IME.

Extant, no. But historic likely. Depends on what era you are trying to represent.

Well, you can do a full Bavarian mountain hamlet in Argentina, and any sort of German architecture could be sprinkled in anywhere in the country.

This seller does prints of the 3D Print Terrain ranges, which are quite nice and print well at 15mm:

Germans in Argentina?!? No… 

[FifteensAway]

Thanks for the responses so far.  Seems a little additional information is in order.

Time frame: circa 1935

Specific locale: a seaport (slightly a backwater) more likely on Caribbean than Pacific coast - and definitely (probably?) not Atlantic coast

Desirable buildings: a cinema, a presidential 'palace' (very small time), an opera house, a 'grand' hotel, wharf buildings, military barracks, a scientific research station, an aerodrome, a secret submarine base, a couple of night clubs, a bank

There will be a simple rail line to a plantation of some sort or another.

Think in terms of a small time port, not a major one, a small nation with delusions of grandeur but not the funds to justify it.

So, probably not Bavarian or Tudor - though not completely impossible, there definitely are Germans involved.  It is a fictional location and story line and I can backstory into existence anything I want.  So keep those ideas flowing, please.

Have a look at Shtim's Dutch Colonial Adventure. Admittedly Indonesia but some good thoughts in that lot.

So Art Deco or Art Nouveau? Hmm, not sure I've seen a lot of that type - I certainly looked early when I first got my 3D printer and we were still playing pulp a lot.

Germans in Argentina?!? No… 

Clearly, you've not heard of Blumenau or Joinville in the south of Brazil? It's all very much jolly faux-plastic Bavaria, although having suffered a brief sojourn in Joinville, I'll question the jolly bit. 

One part of me got it. it has that Australian/ Las Vegas taste for the 'BIG THING'; the giant windmill, the enormous hotel that looks like Neuschwantstein meets the Holiday Inn etc. There's even a brutalist bunker near the ghastly ferro concrete cathedral that looks like Hitler spent his last days immured within. Local racist content is very high, it's that part of Brazil where the longing for a thousand year Reich saw the locals turn out in overwhelming numbers for Bolsonaro. It's the sort of place where the houses of older generations still sport photos of Medici and Geisel above the mantlepiece.

Now of course Joinville is just a pale shade of dodgy German colonies in the region. If you want genuinely horrific, a place where a few very unsavoury post-war German emigrees actually got to live the dream in Chile, then read up a bit on Colonia Dignidad/ Villa Baviera. No notable architecture, lots of notable crimes.

OK, so urban terrain.

Have a look at these. The 28mm version of the Hotel just arrived by post this very morning.  They have an Etsy shop which is what I usually buy through. Extremely good quality prints.

Presidential palace?

https://www.3dprintingvalley.com/store/Urban-House-D-p521564709 or maybe...

Easy enough to put some corrugated plastic/cardboard/ sheet aluminium over them if you want corrugated iron roofs. I'd leave off the chimmneys or have them magnetised for optional usage if I was you.

Then there are the superb Patryk Waywer prints. These are all commercial licensed designs from Jens Najewitz. Again superb quality and vexcellent customer service.

Airfield?

Maybe a few mediterranian style buildings?

Can't help you with the Opera house per se but as I mentioned there are a few folk making Jens Najewitz buildings and the superb WoW buildings, you are bound to find something suitable.

The Najewitz range has a model of the bank from Kelly's Heroes, which would likley be perfect for your purposes. I've seen a couple of folk who have the printing licence just can't recall who it was but you can loo at the original render.

Anyway have a trawl through that and also the WoW website. Worse comes to worst you can always buy the STLs and get a local 3D printing company to print them for you.

Cheers! Couple of designs there I haven't seen before and now, inevitably, want.
