Download the freebie (an outhouse), and see for yourself. Try it in
several scales (it's available in O through Z.) I've not tried the more
elaborate models (too cheap to buy them, I guess), but the photos look
good. I have made Fiddlers Green models, among others. Paper models can
look very good at "normal model railroad viewing distances", but in my
experience, paper modelling is really another hobby. Paper models are
generally as elaborate as ones in plastic or wood. The skill level
needed to do a good job is quite high.
