Are there already made thick cardboard cut out like buildings that one can buy? The thickness would be something akin to a puzzle piece. Something you just punch out and attach together? |

Not that I'm aware of, Sir. Until something like that comes along--assuming it would be cost effective to produce--you should resign yourself to backing your models from step one with foam core/MDF, or at least matte board. The extra time, and trivial expense, are well worth it as it makes your construction time and original cost sturdy and long reusable game accessories. And which look ahelluva lot better when finished with plumb walls and straight lines! TVAG |

There's a Russian company that makes medieval buildings and ships in roughly true 25mm scale that are what you are looking for: link I did a short review on my blog: link I've ordered from them several times without problems and you can't beat the price. |

I have a couple thick card buildings. One has been in use for 30 years. The company is Super Quick. superquick.co.uk/catalogue.htm You did not mention scale. These are OO/HO. They look good with 25mm-28mm figs. |

Sorry, 15mm Those superquick kits look amazing though |

The company Bogdanwaz links to has some 1/100 and HO buildings that work for 15mm. There are a lot of 3D puzzles on ebay from Asia too, but scales are all over and usually you have to back-calculate them yourself. |

Try a company called Cubic Fun. They sell on AliExpress and do a range of buildings that would suit 28mm. There is normlly four buildings to a set (sold separately for about $8.00 USD each) They are exactly what you described, foam backed card punch out slot together. They are mainly Asian in style but their is a set of four which depict 1930s style shops etc. |

Metcalfe ( link ) do N scale as well as HO. Intended for British railway layouts so may not have the types of building that you need. Smaller than 15mm (about 1:150 compared to 1:100 as an approximate for 15mm) but I regularly use one or two scales down from figure to terrain. |
