15 mm Fancy Old West Courthouse?
« on: October 23, 2024, 05:17:41 AM »
Looking to add a courthouse to my 15 mm Old West and want something a bit 'up scale', sort of like the one in Hang 'Em High.

Not looking for any old building pressed into service as a courthouse.  This needs to be an impressive edifice suitable for a county seat that just might be destined to become a state capitol once the territory is granted statehood.

Any ideas?  Tried hunting and not much found.  3D printed is okay but only as long as it is available as a preprinted model.  Not so fond of pdf style buildings but might make an exception for this - if it really knocks my socks off.

If push comes to shove, I will scratch build but hoping to find something in the interim.

Thanks.

A stone building?

Stone, wood, or faux-stone out of wood (it was a thing).

How about the old Heljan courthouse? Their old kits are usually quite a bit smaller than HO scale, so I imagine it would fit well.

Something like that courthouse would be great - but at 80 euros I think I can get someone to custom build what I want for less around here!  Or I'll just finish my own scratch build.  Just hoping for an easier avenue - and more durable than an HO plastic kit.
But appreciate the pointer.

Now, with a handle like Occam I have to ask: do you avoid razors?!  lol
