The buildings are card from WorldWorks Games. I print onto Matte Photo paper and mount onto 3mm foam board. The windows and doors are recessed to give the building more of a 3D look. The interior shots use 7TV Set Designer from Crooked Dice mounted on 5mm black foam board. Set Designer has some fantastic textures

The buildings are from the old Downtown set, unfortunately this is no longer in production. However, the Swiftscenics range uses much the same textures. Here is the link

Avoid the TLX range if you want to mount onto foam board. It can be done, but takes a long time in Photoshop to get it to work.

Fat Dragon also does some cracking buildings in their Capital City range http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/modern.  The base set is the best.

If you are reasonably comfortable with card modelling the best buildings by a country mile are produced by Clever Models http://www.clevermodels.net superb models.

The WWG buildings all come in PDF format. I do tend to take them apart and reconstruct  them using  elements from different models and companies. The Fox Brothers frontage was put together in Photoshop using WWG and Fat Dragon along with some of my own original artwork.

I find that the WWG buildings are slightly over scale for 28mm (I think they are nominally O scale) so I print at 80% which brings them in somewhere around S scale.
