Hello ...
I ordered the "Queen Anne House" , scale 1/220 (by Stony Smith) at Shapeways ; the model looked fine when I got it ... but too small : the (red) entrance door is less than 7 mm in height, this is 5' in 1/1 : a house for Hobbits ...
. So I compared both versions (1/220 and 1/300, they exist both), and a look to the dimensions proved ... that they were the same ! Same STL file on line ? I contacted the designer, he thought first that the 1/300 version was wrong, I answered that rather the 1/220 version was defective (looking at the door). The last answer was on sept. 1. : "I'll take a look". But nothing happened, both versions are still identical, at least one version has an issue (Murphy would say : both ) ... I contacted the designer again 2 days ago, with no answer. Maybe he can not be reached for any reason, but the 1/220 version is still online and can make "victims" : this house is becoming a clone of the Amityville house ! I took a glance to the other "coloured sandstone" by Stony Smith, they seem to be OK (meanwhile I ordered the "pizza shop"), at least if I "try" to calculate ... the height of the door, by using the 3D-version, and a screen copy !

I am still thinking that FUD is better !
