Sorry forgot to mention HO scale

I’d check tacky little gift shops and so-called “import-export” places in malls. Garden shops and flower shops might have something, or you could try a restaurant supply place.

There is a company that makes plastic models of Japanese castles etc. I don’t remember scale or company, but I believe that you could probably find them if you look at any high end modeling store.

Wood land senics use to make a small round band stand you might be able to make work if you could find one Cox 47

thanks for the help, i found some stuff but not the right scale all sors of weird asian scales i guess . but some of them might work because the buildings in the tea garden are very small and these might work have to look into it some more. if anyone else has someideas that would be great.

brady,

Understand that the models on the link I posted are not in any recognized train scale. My thought was that since you are building a garden you could find a building in the approximate size you are looking for and with some work (OK, it would probably be lots of work) redo the windows, doors etc to get the scale appearance you’re looking for.
