hello,
could you give some details about the buildings? what are they? paper? made by whom? what scale?[/quote]
Hi, Korm.
You might remember me from MLS.
Anyhow…
the structures come from a variety of sources.
‘Bachmann’ gets it’s name because all it’s buildings, save the (Pola) Church are from Bachmann. These are pressboard push out kits, made back in the 90’s, that turn up on EBAY now and again, usually for around $35 -$40. They are 1/24, but ridiculously undersized, even the largest works out to something like 12x18 feet. They come with lights but no interior details. I have picked up maybe a dozen of them. Kits include:
1 - General Store (two floors, has a oddball entryway)
2 - Hotel (three stories, ludicrously narrow - joined two of them side by side to make it look not quite so absurd…oh, no pics of that one)
3 - Townhouse (three floors counting an attic, very narrow. Brick front, wood sides. I assembled these pretty much by the instructions…hmm…no pics of those either)
4 - Toy Shop (rarest of the bunch. two floors, brick. I have just one. Its on the far left of the buildings in the town shot.)
5 - Ice Cream Parlor (only single story kit, I converted mine into diners)
6 - Firehouse (two floors, brick. I combined two to make a garage in Bachmann, and parts of two others for a courthouse/town hall. Both are visible in the Bachmann town shot, the garage is the one with the table out front.)
Apart from a couple of Pola kits and some wooden European (?) style facades of uncertain origin (not in the pics), most of the rest come from this site:

(Prices are very reasonable, usually under $30-$35, and I believe they ship international)
The facades in the photo’s are made from individual wall sections sold by that company. The ‘Big Bargain Company’ and the ‘Monastery’ are opposite sides of a double sided façade. The bungalow (interior) is actually their ‘Cascade Summit Dispatch House.’
The interior detail stuff comes from a wide range of places: Bachmann, Darice, dollhouse stuff, and others.
Maybe I should take more pictures?
