Demo's Laser Cut Designs is a relative newcomer, run by the same guy who maintains Cyborg Trucker's Blog. Might be worth checking out.
I've come across these guys recently:

The website is a little rough, but the buildings are fantastic for the price, and lot of new stuff coming out. The 4-pack of shops is on my short list for terrain buys.

Right, that was the one I was talking about.

It might be worth including examples of Plasticville and Ameritown buildings as well, although one has to acquire them from secondary sources (eBay, etc.). Also the Old Glory resin buildings.

Plasticville brand new from here.

I think that Tower Models in Blackpool stocks them, too.
Good call, they're cheaper.

I'll have to either somehow bookmark this thread or just copy some of the links to my blog - for when my financial situation clears up....

Can anyone with firsthand experience of plasticville and K-Line tell us if they are on the large end or the small end.

I could do with some buildings in that style in S-scale, which is more 1/64-1/60 or true 25mm.

I bought three Plasticville houses recently in N Gauge.  The Cape Cod Houses (two to a pack), Police Station, and a residential house.  The residential house seemed to be way too small to me.  It has two floors and a garage but seems scaled small.  Figures would touch the ceiling is you put an actual second floor in it.

The Cape Cod houses are nice.  But they are more like one room fishing shacks.  The Police Station is a good size for a small town sheriff's office.  One floor and enough room inside to add a few things.

Hope that is a little helpful at least.

Plasticville makes a lot of there stuff in multiple scales.  So you can get the same house in HO that you can get in N.  THat said, I'm just getting into their stuff so it is possible that they have one off pieces for a particular scale.

Plasticville were meant to be somewhere between S and O guage and are noticeably smaller than my Walther's O guage buildings. K-line has been less consistent.

That's helpful, thanks! I thought I heard something like that about the plasticville stuff, but wasn't sure.  :)

As a point of reference:  If you order the newer Plasticville (as in the above picture) the blue boxes are in a smaller scale not suitable for 28mm gaming.  The stuff you want is in the green bordered boxes.  Sorry I can't recall the scale designations. Trsut me on the color of the boxes though.
This is my boomstick!

A while back in future wars someone posted a link to an American company that makes foamcore skyscrapers, I though these would be good as less detailed "background" pieces. Can anyone remember what the site was?
