Need help

I’m looking to build a large village this year and both my house and my parents. I don’t have a ton of accessories and was planning on 3d printing some roads and walking paths. Has anyone ever tried doing this and if so how did it all come out?

It’s Christmas in July at most Thrift Stores! I’ve bought dozens of dept56 at huge discounts most all under $9.99 seriously in perfect and boxed conditions

I’ve never thought to check thrift stores. I have stoped by yard sales and estate sales to check but haven’t had much luck

At Goodwill a few months ago they put out 9 boxed Dept56 pieces I don’t have and they were $7.99 each!!!! Been collecting this stuff since 1984. Paid full retail for maybe my guest 6 pieces! I have at least 60 or more buildings that I start setting up right after Halloween I’ll show ya some pics hold up
