Look around any English landscape – town or countryside – and you’ll see gardens so why not on your model railway. But that was easier said than done until now.
Trying this technique out produced lovely miniature garden that was really easy to create. And best of all it Mike uses Lego in its construction but this isn’t a must have (it is inventive however).
The tip is split over two tutorials, part 1 is below.
And, part 2 is here:
The above will auto-play part two but if this doesn’t work for any reason I’ve included it below.

> A final, personal, note: I spend a huge amount of time testing, photographing, writing and researching techniques for these articles and pay for all the running costs of MRE out of my own pocket. If you found this article useful you can support me by making a donation on my fund-raising page. Thanks and happy modelling, Andy.

Andy is a lifelong modeler, writer, and founder of modelrailwayengineer.com. He has been building model railways, dioramas, and miniatures for over 20 years. His passion for model making and railways began when he was a child, building his first layout at the age of seven.
Andy’s particular passion is making scenery and structures in 4mm scale, which he sells commercially. He is particularly interested in modelling the railways of South West England during the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, although he also enjoys making sci-fi and fantasy figures and dioramas. His website has won several awards, and he is a member of MERG (Model Railway Electronics Group) and the 009 Society.
When not making models, Andy lives in Surrey with his wife and teenage son. Other interests include history, science fiction, photography, and programming. Read more about Andy.
