I believe I purchased some of these, eons ago, from Tabletop Games, and they were superbly colored, very detailed, European buildings, in 6mm.

Not sure if they were produced by TTG, or another company, so would like to know if there are any other good ones, still available, for a reasonable price.

Currently, I'm primarily interested in Modern era (1950s – 1980s) structures, but obviously, in many cases, some WWII era buildings would work as well.

Homes and buildings suitable for more rural areas, and/or small villages in Germany would be best, for Cold War gaming, though European-style buildings can probably be pressed into service in a pinch.

I'm looking primarily for 6mm right now, though I can also use some in 1/144th, and 1/100th scales too (perhaps even HO scale – 1/87 might do for the 1/100th scale, if the structures are on the smaller side of a realistic size).

Paper, or cardstock, preprinted would be nice, but I'll consider PDFs as well, since I suspect I can print my own on paper, and cardstock too.

So, are there any manufacturers of these still in business, or have they fallen by the wayside?

Names of suppliers, links, and photos of any and all are appreciated.

You can get some pdfs of the old Hardcover buildings over at this link:

GHQ has some, mostly rural. They're Dutch, but some of them are generic enough to be used elsewhere in Europe. Bottom of this page:

The Pretzschendorf models are more German:

I could go on, but those should keep you busy for a while. Keep in mind that anything you print yourself can be easily rescaled.

A US source of pre-printed card buildings in various sizes/scales is;

Paperterrain buildings are magnificent, I have virtually all of them, plus owner, Scott Washburn gives excellent service. The GHQ buildings come together well, too.

Paper Terrain 👍
But I've bookmarked that site Battler, thanks. 😉

If you don't mind printing them out this thread on GHQ's website has lots of modern buildings, go forward and backward a few pages from this linked one to see them all.

Lots of WWII items here.

Schreiber Bogen has some small scale pre-printed stuff.

Check the scale to make sure it is what you want.
There are online shops in Europe that carry many brands.
I have seen some incredible walled towns put out by a Czech guy.

Not pre-printed:

Scalescenes has UK OO models.

Look for "kartonmodell" on google images for free kits.

There is a complete German village here:

This is something I pulled together YEARS ago (much may be out dated – and perhaps scifi related)

Paper Terrain is a great company to deal with.
