I recognise at least one of those textures but can't think which of the many sites it comes from. It may ne a case of going through an image search on card buildings or similar.

Yup, those are not all from one source. A couple of those roofs look like textures cyt to shape.

They look like the work of Wikkywok an Ebay seller, I have not seen any for sale for months.If you are any good with Photoshop or even Powerpoint you can do these yourself. I have had a practice go at 15mm [URL=https://s839.photobucket.com/user/murtonian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-08/38B57E18-85EB-4B26-9DAF-B73C26506821_zpsdghnm3zn.jpg.html] [/URL] [URL=https://s839.photobucket.com/user/murtonian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2018-06/28FE357A-0FF4-462C-97C5-4332A36AC406_zpsbyxveehd.jpg.html] [/URL] [URL=https://s839.photobucket.com/user/murtonian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2018-06/6861DDCE-6AD7-49C7-9C48-AD715713E750_zpsvflpmb4b.jpg.html] [/URL] [URL=http://s839.photobucket.com/user/murtonian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2018-06/2AE4BAED-99CA-4428-8453-F4C4E7A4B07B_zpsrs8fexra.jpg.html] [/URL] [URL=https://s839.photobucket.com/user/murtonian/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-06/6854D176-721F-4049-A4CC-E860FB37161A_zpskdfa523y.jpg.html] [/URL] I know they are not on par with Wikkywoks but they pass for good I think.I used 5mm foamboard to base the skins on. In my opinion the finished skins must be printed in excellent quality otherwise the finished look will look grainy.Open a free account with Textures.com and you can download a limited amount of textures each day. Choose a building texture and overlay windows and doors, if you can add shadows for better effects. I hope this helps

There's also an application called Model Builder that might prove useful. It's designed for model railroaders and distributed by Evans Designs. link

If I remember correctly, I'm sure he does commissions, try contacting him through his Ebay page
