Cottage Collection

June 2013

£1.50
 From Concept to Cottage
1. Each and every Lilliput Lane miniature is completely
hand crafted by our skilled artists in Langholm, in the
borders of Scotland.

2. The cottages are based on real buildings and many

collectors enjoy touring the country lanes in search of
the actual houses.

3. From photographs, the internet and sketches, up to forty

different processes then follow to produce a complex series
of moulds from the original sculpture. There is no room
for error, as the original wax sculpture is lost during the
the process!

4. Every tile, slate and flower is individually applied by hand

to build up the different textures and details.

5. Flexible silicone-rubber moulds are used to cast faithful

replicas of the wax original in a specially licensed material
called Amorphite™. Once this has set, the moulds can then
be carefully peeled away to reveal every last detail on the
cast model.

6. After being sealed and dried once again, the model passes
to one of our painters.

7. Up to thirty different colourways can be tried and

checked for authenticity before a master version is chosen
for each cottage.

8. Every skilled painter has to match each of the models they

paint to the master version, to ensure that each is consistent.

9. Finally, cottages are baized and labelled, before a final

quality check ensures that they leave Lilliput Lane in
perfect condition.

No seconds are ever kept; if they do not

pass our strict quality checks, then they
are destroyed.
Welcome
Welcome to the new Lilliput Lane catalogue… this launch sees a wealth of
new buildings being added to our Collection reflecting the vernacular heritage and distinct
architectural style from all regions of our nation.

Highlights include The Harbour, inspired by two former Cornish fishermen’s cottages, now a
harbourside fish restaurant in Port Isaac and a popular tourist destination and film location.
Mousehole Harbour Office, located in the North Cliff area of Mousehole, is a pretty Cornish
fishing village famous for its Christmas lights, Bawcock’s Eve tradition and Stargazy Pie.
Harrogate Pump Room is an ornate building, built in 1842 to provide shelter to the thousands
of people who came to take the medicinal waters from the Old Sulphur Wells in Low Harrogate.

The new launches in our Full Steam Ahead Collection are four essential village buildings for
model railway displays — a Fish & Chip Shop and a pub called The Kings Arms, which are both
corner buildings, perfect for building scenes and also a Tudor farmhouse and a farm building.
All four new items are available as either prepainted or paint-your-own versions.

And of course, each Lilliput Lane model is hand sculpted and entirely hand crafted and painted
in the company’s studios in the Scottish Borders.
