Could you be a little more specific on what exactly you mean with plans?
Do you want building plans? Complete groundwork plans? Plans for a Bankheist? Groundplans of the Berlin Metro?

Kinda hard to answer with the information you are giving. When you are more specific I`m sure that you will get some good answers

Hi all,
I would be very interested in obtaining some 1/35 scale building plans as well. French, Russian whatever, as long as they fit in with the European theatre it don't really matter. I know what these buildings look like (there are plenty of reference books available) it's the scale dimensions that I am interested in!

Cheers
Lee

I can't point you to any specific sites, but how 'bout checking some books/sites on the history of European architecture. Or check German townhall archives if you can get 'em online. Many small town archives have century-old building plans that were once submitted for approval.

Don't know of any sights that will provide that much information for you. I'm sure many of us here at armorama would be willing to help you through the design and building process if you can give us some idea what you want to build.

There are really no hard fast rules, many of us here scratch build our own buildings and from many widley availble materials. Size and dimentions are all relative. My first suggestion would be to have a look around Roadkills reference gallery here:

http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/626

I might also suggest looking at the Verlinden and Custom dioramics diorama products for ideas.

Choose your subject/region you want to model. It will be much easier for us here to help you realize your goal if we have a better understanding of what you want to build. Once you choose your subject/s find a photo or come up with a drawing to show us ... Then we might be able to give you specific ideas of how to make your own "blueprint" for the buildings you desire.

Dave,

You don't really need exact dimensions.
If you have 2 dimensions, you can calculate the rest.
The first is the standard height of doors. At least actually they are exactly 2 meters and 90cm or 1meter wide.
The standard room height is 2,50 meters.
From there on you can do the rest, as the dimensions of the windows can vary from 1 Meter and smaller.
Look at my Clervaux thread, i had no dimensions, only basic measures, a pen and a piece of paper.
Just try it
