Tiny City explores the world of American architecture through miniature paper craft. Some buildings are modeled on existing structures, and some are designed on the general design characteristics of a style.

Scale

Buildings are between one and two inches tall, putting it close to Z-Scale standard. But each building is not always at precise scale.

Plans

Some entries include a print-ready version of plans so you can make these on your own. These plans are provided free and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license.

There is a degree of improvisation required with design plans. In some cases detail work such as porches, stairs, and chimneys will not be a perfect fit.
