There are 6 or so patterns in the thread.
And they can be scaled when you print them, to get them the size you need.

Outstanding. Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I'm going to take a crack at the rose window Dolly church scaled down 50% this weekend.
The idea being to make a small village to go around a small tinsel tree on a table we decorate for the holidays. It really isn't big enough for more than an N scale train and I have a spare set now that someone gave to me. I like the way the Dolly houses look with my HO stuff so I'm just going to round them down by half to keep it easy. I love those houses and think they will look great in a smaller size.
I also picked up a Lionel Holiday Trolley set off of eBay. The price was too good to pass it up so some larger houses are in order at some point too. I"ll be adding to this thread as I go along I'm sure and probably another one for the larger stuff. I have some of my own patterns that I've drawn up for those but, haven't had the chance to build/test them out yet. I've experimented with the making the trees, sand finishes and "coconut" and I'm happy with the results there. I will probably build those over the summer when we're stuck indoors.
