All,
I have very basic foam core buildings that I have been using for my pulp games. I'd really like to dress them up with card stock fronts. It seems though that I can only find PDFs. Does anyone sell actual card stock models for the pulp era? |

I have a CD folled with suitable buildings but PDF only. |

Doesn't help me, my printer isn't able to print on card stock. |

this might be what you're looking for. link |

Unless I am reading it wrong, they are only PDFs. |

nnascati, I realize it would be an extra step, but surely you can print on paper and glue the paper to cardstock? Seems better than doing without. |

I was going to say what robert piepenbrink said. You might even think of going a little more sturdy with cereal box cardboard. |

Thanks all for the suggestions. This is one of those times that I miss working. Presently, my printer is non-functioning. |

The Virtual Armchair General sells cardstock buildings that should suit and he might sell .pdf's as well. Reviresco also sells cardstock buildings but John is Out of Action for weeks/months due to a recent accident. |

Nick, You could always purchase the pdfs and ask someone to print them out for you. |

Jafd26, I looked, wrong period, and made for smaller scales. I am ordering from tvag. |

Not card stock, but you can sometimes find deals on plastic model railroad kits. I picked up some store fronts in HO scale (for 15mm) on Ebay for like $5 USD each. Not sure what railroad scale matches 25/28mm? |

Check and see if your local modelrailroad shop has any used bldgs for your scale. Also MRR swap meets can be a great place for structures at low prices. |

You can't go wrong with TVAG Mean Streets and Mean Sets. Patrick Wilson is a class guy. |

Salutations, again, I have been wrong before, and hope to live long enough to be wrong again. |

Anyway, you're in Gloucester Cty, I'm in Newark and get to South Jersey fairly often, and have a color inkjet that'll print on 67 lb cardstock. Look me up if you're at Historicon (am volunteering, the people in charge'll know where I'm assigned…), mayhaps a deal can be worked out… |

Look at tracksideflats.com for building fronts in O scale. You can get them on their ebay site. |
| nnascati | 25 Jun 2019 8:44 a.m. PST |
I ordered and received three blocks from TVAG. Now I just need to work up the nerve to start in on them. |
