I've been very impressed as to how well some of the Bergman files, nominally 1:100, have come out on a resin printer when re scaled to anything from 1:285 to 1:56.

For small buildings 3D printing works very well. For larger buildings in 28mm +, printing can be useful to produce architectural details such as windows, doors and chimneys which can then be combined with a homemade structure.

Yes, very wise on the incorporation of the parts into traditional buildings.

Pleasant reading there over all.

I get the ship issue. Display vs wargames. Scale is also generally different. I guess I was talking larger scale display comparisons.

Computer engineering is another hobby entirely, yes. But that also reflects people sculpting there own figures for making their own moulds and casting.

Using blanks, what's the time difference between making a cgi chap and an epoxy chap anyway? You could probably mould and cast a bunch before the printers done as well. I'd say they are certainly comparable, as far as designing your own.
