A bit of ingenuity and there is no end to what can be created. Some years ago I wanted some flowering shrubs around a house. I glued down appropriately shaped pieces of my green clump foliage (which I make myself, don't buy if you can make),. I dipped the head of a pin in the coloured paint I wanted and placed randomly spaced dots on the foliage. Very simple and looked great.

[@lnrmodels]

That’s a smashing idea and there is absolutely nothing more enjoyable (or more cost effective) than making your own.

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

Great video, Lee, and it is certainly something my grandson and I will be having a go at once he gets going with his 009 layout....cheers James 🙂👍

A bit of a faff, but we'll worth the effort as they look very impressive. Thanks for sharing your skills and ideas with us all.

[@lnrmodels]

Not quick and easy by any means, but more satisfying. Thanks for commenting 😊

[@jamfjord]

Very helpful, thank you! Are the leaves by Gaugemaster, Noch or another company? Sorry, I checked the description for a link but couldn't see one.

[@lnrmodels]

They’re from Gaugemaster, very similar to the Noch ones but cheaper. I did put an amazon link in, but I must have accidentally deleted it if it’s not there

[@RoRo-zh4uf]

Hi there LNR Models! I like how life-like your tiny diorama sets look with the fine detail and all. Do you happen to have an email where i could reach you? I would love to get your expertise on a diorama myself of the fireplace from the haunting (1999) movie. That of which I'm currently working on thanks! 🙏💯🎨

[@lnrmodels]

My email address is on my channel page 😊
