This collection was created to quickly construct bespoke brick buildings. To create buildings, select and print out whatever you need. Then glue together the components to form your building. To hold everything together, use thin sheet material for the base, floor, ceiling and roof.

Included in this collection are straight walls, curved walls, fences, columns, planter boxes, garden edging, stairs, handrails and individual bricks. There is a thin wall that may be used as a texture, another that may be used as a stencil.

Use these in your diorama, game layout or fairy garden. Some columns have a central hole that may be used to hide low power wiring or be used as a chimney. Planter boxes with drainage holes may be used to grow plants.

Scale:
This collection is modelled in 1-in-10 scale and uses a consistent brick size. Rescale the models to suit your needs.

Identifying File Names:
Some file names include a reference similar to 3x3, 6x6, 4x17, etc. These numbers represent the width and depth of the item in units of half-bricks. (Unusual scale, but it works.)
Some of the file names include a reference to 1/2 and 3/4. These refer to the approximate width relative to my default 4910mm wide wall section.
Walls and columns are typically 1200mm and 3120mm high. Other heights are also included and are specified.

Printing:
I printed my parts at 1-in-20 scale (50% of modelled scale). Use your slicer to scale the models as required. Print in the orientation shown in the preview images with at least 20% infill. Unless otherwise specified, supports are not required. At 1-in-20 scale, the brickwork prints without supports.

Walls with Window and/or Door Openings:
Generate supports inside window and door openings. Delete spurious supports, especially next to brickwork. You may need to tweak (rescale, sand or file) each window frame to fit its window opening. Ideally, paint parts before assembly. Glue together two window frames with a piece of window material in-between - I used 0.8mm clear polycarbonate sheet for the window glass. Then glue the window assembly inside the wall opening.

Roof:
For supporting the roof, there are angled wall sections and roof trusses. Use MDF or thick card to make the ceiling and roof flats, then glue on roof tiles.
The “Roof Truss Pitched Corner” is designed to support a roof corner. Fold and glue at the thin hinged section and then glue to your model’s ceiling.

Corrugated Iron Roof:
You may freely scale the corrugated iron in the direction of the ridges. Print the corrugated iron using a filament printer with a brim and no supports. Trim around the edges leaving the brim underneath as a support.

Slate Roofs:
When printing slate tiles, there may be layer lines on the slate tile.
Solution 1: Reduce the layer thickness.
Solution 2: Rotate the roof 3.8 degrees to make the tile surface parallel with the print bed. Then lift the roof by a few millimetres and apply supports.

Glueing Components:
To assist holding pieces together whist glueing, print out a few of my “Woodwork Corner Square Block” https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5643113 and apply clamps or spring clips. I usually use epoxy to join pieces.

Floors, Ceiling and Interior Walls:
Use 3mm MDF to construct internal walls - other materials may also be suitable. Add doors, door handles, architraves and cornices from my “Door Collection”. You may also add items from my “Louvre Door with Hinges Prop”, “Sliding Door” or “Window and Pelmet Box”.

Lighting:
Add low-voltage LED lighting. Use fittings from my “LED Lamp Collection for Diorama”. Add a 3V battery holder, a main switch and switches for individual LEDs.
If you mix different colour LEDs in your circuit, then use a 4.5V or 6V battery holder and resistors. Refer to online documentation for recommended resistor values - as a starting point try 220 Ohms or 330 Ohms.
Aim to hide your battery holders so that they are easily accessible, yet are hidden from view during use.

Exterior Detail:
Add roofing material, guttering and downpipes. Use pipework from one of my “Pipe Fittings Collections”.

Add Interior Detail:
Add furniture, fireplace, decor, plants and other greebles.
