Are there any of these available r.t.p.
I have seen one from Harburn Hobbies but are there others?
I am looking for something with a glasshouse or shed with vegetables etc.

The ones sold by the old NGS Shop were Timecast and are available painted and unpainted
Thanks for the replies, will have a look at their website.

Tomytec do a range of micro scenes of farms/market gardens - about 3" sq
a regular ebay search on "tomytec farm" or Tomytec buildings /diorama will help
also search Gaugemaster for Diorama
i knew I had a picture somewhere!

If you want to add a green house, Peedie models do etches of two types

The Timecast ones are slightly under scale they used to have a stand at T I N G S if I remember correctly ,but I do have some of them
Model Scenery Supplies
And
The Model Tree Shop are both stocking a range of flowers and vegetables in N but some of these are slightly too,large but they will look good once I get round to planting them ,it's far too cold in my shed for gardening even in model form .
I only put the gas fire on IF I have friends coming to visit .
I'm one of those Modellers who thinks that it's the scenery that's important and turns a train set into a Model Railway .Im not that keen on just loads of track going Round and in and out all over the place .But each to their own .

Severn Models do a nice N-Gauge Greenhouse etch, complete with staging, they look quite nice once painted and glazed with some plant flock on the staging.

Farish have announced a pair of greenhouses

They must be out now as looking on ebay last night noticed that a seller has them listed. Over £20 each though so quite expensive. I was fancying a couple but may just leave it at that price.
I think Gaugemaster do them in the Kestrell range .

two in a packet from around 3 quid .
My Timecast allotments arrived today and they look even better than the picture Railwaygun posted. The castings are neat and I particularly like the cold frames and runner beans. :thumbsup:
Underscale? Things grow more slowly in Wet Wales. And they are just the right size to make individual gardens for my kit-bashed terrace houses.
hi all,
I thought this would be a good place to get some opinions on some gardens that I have scratched built. I am fairly pleased with them but I feel could use some improvement.
I made them to fit behind the terraced houses by Metcalfe.
I have a few ideas of how to make a fence between the two gardens but would appreciate if you have any ideas
thanks,
luke.

If you want solid fences, get one of the standard coffee stirrers, make a few score lines with a knife and paint with a brown wash. Then just cut to length. Another thing I have done is to take a piece of matting, the type that looks like a meadow in flower, cut it to twice the width of a coffee stirrer, glue one half to one side of a coffee stirrer and when dry, fold the matting over and glue to the other side of the coffee stirrer. Because of the nature of the matting I used, I had to weigh it down until the glue dried.
This picture, whilst not showing the fences in detail, gives you an idea -

I'm planning on using allotment gardens from the Timecast range to fill in an odd-shaped space on my layout. I'm not ready to buy them yet but I need to make allowance for them. From the photos on the website it looks as if the bases of the allotments are quite thick. Could somebody who has used them let me know how thick the base is so that I can plan the sub-structure accordingly? Thanks!

The Timecast mouldings are on average 3mm thick. After getting the first one wrong by levelling plaster that was already set and having to disguise the edges, I set them into my earth mix (WS plaster, enough acrylic colours to match the colour of the allotment earth and water) while the plaster was wet. With all of them I added highlights to the mouldings before "planting" them.
Tegfan garden from a cruel angle to show the edges - the bushes and tomato plants try to hide the edge of the moulding from the normal viewing angle.

Wstrws garden - set into plaster then static grassed.

Henllan railway terrace gardens - six of the mouldings and others made up from grass and scraps.

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to know.
3mm doesn't sound a lot - the website photos make them look a lot thicker - so it shouldn't be too difficult to fettle.
Those pictures are excellent, especially the row of back gardens.
Cheers,
Chris
