For those who will spend the time making up their own buildings this might be of great help - it is a page of architectural photos of different textures on buildings.
Enjoy

Gentlemen,
As you may or may not know (nor care... but that's another story!
) -- among my hobbies is model railroading. And I've found some software that you may find of interest...
Evan Designs makes software aimed primarily at the model railroader -- but like most modeling "tools", things designed for one "genre" often work just as well as others... such as using model railroad "stuff" for micro armor! Among the software made by this company is one called "Model Builder" -- it allows you to design / print out buildings on your own. You design them the way you want them... then you print them, and assemble them! You can choose one of the popular model railroading scales -- or you can select your own, such as 1:285 or 1:300 scale. I've purchased a copy of "Model Builder" for myself -- and I love it!
A word of warning, though... "Model Builder" was designed for "larger" scales than our 1:285 / 1:300 models. The richness of detail provided can cause some problems when we try to "shrink it down" to our scale. The designers are aware of these problems, and are working on possible solutions (such as lower-resolution images for smaller scales). Nonetheless, I think you could find this software of great use in our "genre", and I heartily recommend it!
