IOD Old Colchester Road Decor Mould - 6" x 10"

Build a characterful miniature streetscape with the Old Colchester Road silicone mould from Iron Orchid Designs. Inspired by the architectural façades of historic homes, this 6" x 10" decor mould features larger building fronts with varied rooflines, ideal for handmade village scenes, shadow boxes and seasonal home décor.

Imagine a Christmas village with a layered skyline, or a moody Halloween street painted in deep, weathered colours. The taller façades introduce variety and a natural sense of depth, helping you create a display that feels collected rather than uniform.

Expand your Charlbury Lane village

Old Colchester Road is designed to coordinate with the IOD Charlbury Lane Mould. Mix the larger building fronts with Charlbury Lane's cottages to vary the height and character of your street. Arrange the façades into a continuous scene or layer them within a shadow box for added dimension.

Ideas for your next project

• Create a Christmas village with varied building heights and rooflines.
• Build a Halloween streetscape with atmospheric painted finishes.
• Arrange historic house façades inside a dimensional shadow box.
• Combine with Charlbury Lane castings for a layered mantelpiece display.
• Make village-inspired wall art and personalised seasonal displays.

Paint a village with its own personality

Give each building an individual colour palette, or use a coordinated finish to bring the whole street together. Try softly aged neutrals for a year-round display, festive accents for Christmas or darker tones for autumn scenes. The same architectural designs can take on a different character with each finish.

Using air dry clay and casting resin

Old Colchester Road can be used with air dry clay and casting resin. Air dry clay may shrink, warp or crack as it dries, adding character to vintage-inspired projects. Dust the mould lightly with cornflour to aid release, then remove the clay casting while still moist and adhere it to your surface. Low-tack tape can help support castings on vertical applications.

Casting resin produces consistent mouldings without the drying shrinkage associated with clay. For curved applications, a casting may be shaped before it has completely hardened; follow your chosen resin manufacturer's instructions for timing and handling.
