I'm a day late, but..
I've never built any 1/16th stuff, but I've built many 1/64th buildings in my teenage years..
Only advise I will offer is this:
I made a scale building the same as the shop my dad built for my grandfather.. We built the barn early in 97, I built the building about a year later, to scale, from the prints (to the best of my ability with the crude tools I have/had to work with)..
In the end, my 1/64th 9500/9600 combine wouldn't fit under the doorway when grandpa's real deal would fit in the real building, with a hopper extension to boot.. It ended up so the doorway of my model is cut above the top of the sidewalls..
I have kinda given up on it now for quite a few years, but, for a long time I was working to build all of the buildings and collecting all of the toys that were on the farm throughout my growing up, and planned to build 3 or 4 layouts to show the changes over the years.. I've got most of the tractors and combines now, and have built a couple of the sheds.. Someday I'll get back around to it..
So my advise, if building a scale of a actual building, is to make sure all things you plan to "store" will fit before construction begins.. Oh, and I still remember my first building.. My grandpa built it.. I recall it was quite large, and I loved it until it just finally fell apart from moving it around from one playplace to another.. It was mostly assembled from 1/4" plywood and 1x firring strips, and a couple piano hinges for the opening roof.
