cardstock models

Try Clever Models at http://www.clevermodels.net, http://www.scalescenes.com, and modelrailwayscenery.com. The last 2 are mostly European prototypes but still have some good models and textures. There is also a site that has container models that I can't remember right now. I've built several from each source in both N and HO. The larger models can be scaled down in a photoediting program like Photoshop or GIMP. The best thing is you can print as many copies as you like.

Dear ???

You don't mention what country or geographical region you're trying to model, or what scale you are intending to work in. Therefore, the following are some options, but may or may not be relevant to you.

Card Models

Hi,

I use card all the time.  The link to the free containers, mentioned above, is http://www.norbtach.nl/bouwplaat/Cont45h/Cont45fth.html , however I recommend http://www.scalescenes.com.  Here is a small Scalescenes weigh scale I have just finished.  Only have to add the inside lighting now and some grass and weeds outside..

Try searching on this excellent website.  There have been a host of articles on building with card, like this 'One evening project' http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/magazine/mrh-2011-09-sep/ss-containers.

Good luck

Wendy, I was wondering why you would use your email address as your username? You're just asking for trouble with that on a public forum.
