If not already mentioned Acheson Designs have done a new range of Medieval buildings that really more Dark Ages in nature. They also finished a successful Kickstarter for the buildings. I picked up quiet a few at Historicon and did the Kickstarter so I am set for my Dark Ages games for having a village that needs defending/sacking.  :D

FYI

Grand Manner is changing its business model. Raw resin models will no longer be available but painted ones will be. Orders for raw resin go until the end of the month, Jan 31st 2018.

Hi i know this is a fairly old thread, but does anyone know if the Saxon Miniatures Dark Age building molds for casting in plaster are still available after Warlord Games bought up their figure range ? Saw them featured in the Shield Wall supplement for Hail Ceaser and they looked really nice.

Failing that does anyone have a set they'd like to sell to me ?

I believe it’s a right topic to refresh rather than creating a new thread (I hope)

Some time ago I spent quite some time searching for STL files (to print out myself) for thatched huts that would be accurate for England/Normandy in early Middle Ages (900-1100AD) I found only a handful of candidates that I could actually print but nothing as good as those presented in the thread’s first post (Those made by Grand Manner / Stronghold Terrain / Adrian’s Walls). There is muuuuultitude of fantasy huts available to print but I simply can’t accept them in my historical project.

So, if you know of any good models of thatched huts, I could buy STL files, please send me the link.

From some time ago (2018) the Printable Scenery, Country and King line of STL buildings exist.  These run from castle structures to fam fields, walls, farm buildings, city/town buildings, King's Gate and Tower, etc.  This is a large line of structures, scenery and some figures for printing.  I found them on ETSY as printed versions from several vendors.

Look at the Country and King buildings.  "Realistic 3D Printable European Buildings for Table Top games from the Middle Ages through to the 20th Century for Wargames and D&D" 

This Norman Period building line had a kickstarter shown at:
https://www .kickstarter.com/projects/printablescenery/king-and-country

Despite all logic I have obtained many of them and I feel they are very nice.  I have even made modifications to a few successfully.

 They are available printed on ETSY from several vendors/printers.  I like Dungeon Artifacts for price, service, print quality and responsiveness.

Just thought I'd add Fogou Models https://www.fogoumodels.co.uk/. They do a number of useful buildings: timber a frames, stone buildings & even beehive huts.
N.B. The one's in the picture are mine and the thatched roofs were done with plumber's hemp (not included).

Here's the 1st Corps Miniatures,
Dark Age buildings. The farmsteads main building has an interior space. ( Can't quite see in the picture but it comes with two hives and ovens plus a few lengths of fencing )
The Romano 'church' has an interior and can be configured in several different ways to represent structure other than a church. The isles can be placed back to back to make a single building and the main structure can. Be used on its own as well.
The Round Houses have interiors as well. They also store like a russian doll. Just so they take up less room on your shelves.

I know there's a kind of prerequisite 'it must be 3D printed resin or else it's not realistic snuff' but isn't it getting a wee bit expensive? I bought a very cool Peel tower from Mini Monsters, don't get me wrong it's great, but it was 70+Euros?. I also find that I couldn't really order things in time for the battle I was swinging, so it inspired me to actually make something myself, so I did. I rather like the vintage GW Townscape buildings from long ago and thought it would be something to update those. I attach an example where I've made something which is a digital artwork based on that which can be printed on a colour printer(paper), cut, folded and glued. Maybe you might be surprised how good it looks, easy to assemble with no painting etc.
