It’s so cold in my workshop at the moment, so here’s a throwback to a lovely family home I delivered this time last year. It was such a wonderful home to make with such a lot of history. Although 2026 is now full, I’m still getting requests for 2027 diary slots…

A definite highlight of 2025…

Thanks to everyone who’s followed my model making journey this year - it’s been an amazing 12 months, creating my usual miniature recreations of treasured homes, some set building, a book cover for an international best selling author, and of course, Marvellous Miniature Workshop

If you haven’t seen it yet… www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

It’s the big little reveal! The final episode in this series saw me building the smallest model in the series, recreating a wonderful small family bakers’ shop in Hemel Hempstead. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

It’s the final episode of Marvellous Miniature Workshop today and I’ll be closing the series with a 1:50 scale build of a generations old Bakery Shop, now sadly lost.. You can watch on BBC ONE at 2pm today or catch up any time on iplayer www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Did you know I also build model railways?

The culmination of months of hard work from all involved… I’m so incredibly proud of this episode. I hope you loved it too. If you haven’t had a chance to catch today’s episode of The Marvellous Miniature Workshop, catch up on BBC iPlayer NOW! All episodes are now available to view.

Today’s episode of The Marvellous Miniature Workshop sees Reg and Neil visit the shop hoping for a miniature recreation of Silverwood Colliery in Rotherham. Today’s miniaturist … is me… Watch The Marvellous Miniature Workshop today at 2pm on BBC One

Some behind the scenes from today’s episode - kindly captured by Abi (from episode 2) when we were filming the interview segments of the episodes back in May. I was paranoid about getting sunburnt… It was so surreal seeing yourself on the monitors.

The Marvellous Miniature Workshop airs at 2pm on BBC One from Monday 1 December onwards, with all episodes available to stream on BBC iPlayer from Monday 1 December @bbciplayer @hannahlemon_art @tobaccoandregrets @monstudiosofficial #TheMarvellousMiniatureWorkshop #SaraCox #iPlayer

Marvelous miniature workshop starts Monday 1st December…

A little blast from the past here with this gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds. Such a beautiful subject with lots of nice little details. If you’ve got a house you’d like recreating in miniature, drop me a line Examples of my previous work on my website lnrmodels.co.uk

There’s some kind of real charm in making models of British Suburbia. It’s only small, but this little one is one of my favourites of the year…

And just so you don’t get bored of me harping on about the tv programme, here’s a snow scene I made over the weekend …

Presented by national treasure and the absolute legend that is Sara Cox, we’re pleased to announce that The Marvellous Miniature Workshop airs from Monday 1st December at 2pm on BBC ONE @bbciplayer #TheMarvellousMiniatureWorkshop #SaraCox #iPlayer

Hello chaps - greenery installed and of course, a little washing line…

Well it’s official! The new cover for Evie Wood’s brand new book, The Violin Maker’s Secret has finally been revealed, and I can proudly say uses a model I was commissioned to build by Harper Collins and designed by the talented Lucy Bennett.

Some final pictures of the Fast and Furious House…

Proud to be finally able to share the secret project I’ve been involved with The Marvellous Miniature Workshop is coming soon to BBC One and BBC iPlayer : @bbciplayer  #TheMarvellousMiniatureWorkshop #SaraCox #iPlayer

t’s early morning in Los Angeles/West Yorkshire….and Dom is about to wake up and realise his house has been transported to the hills of God’s own county… (Model of Dom Toretto’s house from the Fast and Furious, posed against the backdrop of an early autumn sky)

Just a little run round of the current progress…

Further progress on the Toretto house…

My latest project is bringing this wooden planked building from The Fast and Furious Series to life…

Recently finished this room set at 1/12 scale for a promo for an agency promoting The house of Guinness

Recently finished and delivered model of a family home.

I’ve been working a lot with the bigger scales just recently and this is the latest in the abandoned series of dioramas. I’ve been live streaming the building of this one with viewers giving suggestions of what to add. Next weekend, I’m going to attempt to add a rusty wheelbarrow…

My May went like this - an awesome month with a massive chunk missing that I just can’t show you right now. Let’s just say it was a fantastic time, full of stress, laughs and the most amazing people. I did manage to get some other stuff done too…

Good morning folks - I’m still spamming the work in progress on this little diorama/vignette. I’m really enjoying the bigger scale.

Abandoned Cooper’s hut diorama in 1:24 scale . Work in progress- still a bit to finish …

A 1/24scale barrel hand made with laser cut staves and bands…

Working on a 1:24 scale shed

The latest in my Doorway series of 1:12 scale vignettes. I’m calling this one ‘Burnt Offerings’

Moody… 😂

Talking of ferns @24ergast.bsky.social - this is now done. If you want to own a piece of LNR Models original art, get in touch- it’s yours for the right price ☺️

I’m really loving working on this - almost finished now. It’ll be up for sale soon.

I’m really enjoying this excursion Into 1:12 scale…

Model delivery. It’s moments like these that’s why I always hand deliver…

Started making a little fun project just as a break from the commissions (and the secret project I can’t tell you about) on Sunday and carried on with it on the live stream last night. It was good to chat with the group again and just have a bit of fun.

Stone is definitely my favourite type of house to model, and this one was such fun. Modelled from foamex, the walls were hand scribed with a roof tile pattern etched on the Cricut cutter and painted with acrylics.

Yesterday’s laser cut ferns have now been enhanced with a little extra painting which blends them into the landscape better. The towpath is really coming along. The canal won’t be that toxic looking - I was just getting rid of excess paint 😂

As @dibsyardshuntinglayout says, at the end of a modelling session, there’s nothing like a good stand at stare, before realising you’ve wasted 10 minutes you could have been closer to going to bed….

One of my absolute favourite building types is stone, and this was a lot of fun to make - all the stonework hand carved and painted. Not many production photos taken with this one. In retrospect, the photography is a bit let down by the car which I hadn’t weathered at this point.

Just a little over 5 years since I posted a picture of this little demo model I made and asked if anyone would be interested in their own home in miniature. I haven’t stopped building since - from a little thatched cottage to a massive dolls house to a tiny shed…

A slight tangent from my usual pictures of recreations of real homes in miniature- this was a fun project for Halloween , making a spooky cottage in a slightly bigger scale (the how to video is on my YouTube channel)
