Miniature villages

Hey guys

was wondering if anyone has any tips regarding building miniature villages with trains etc.

I've always been fascinated by them but have no idea where to start. Any guides, reading materials and online stores you can recommend?

Google maps is amazing for this. You can zoom in and out, making them as big as you like!

I wouldn't know where to start but there is a wealth of information on this on YouTube - several people who do video series on complete builds, etc.

You mean to build one, or ones to visit?

To build.. obviously over a number of months!

Dangerous places model villages - my son once got a concussion at one. Ran in excited and went straight over the barrier head first.

I recommend tall barriers if you do make one. Or ban kids from going near. Hope that helps

It wasn't that obvious! I've added the word 'building' into your first post.

Xon, your post count is 1066. How about a miniature Battle of Hastings using table-top figures?! Castles and so on
