Aber fern fronds is a photo-etched brass set of fern leaves for creating realistic vegetation in dioramas and vignettes.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is neither a kit nor a finished model. It is a photo-etched brass fret with fern leaves, that is, modeling material for creating vegetation. Every leaf has etched venation and finely toothed edges, which plastic or paper substitutes cannot achieve. Once taken out of the fret a leaf is shaped, bent into a natural curve and painted. The manufacturer is the Polish firm Aber, which specializes in photo-etched and turned metal accessories for modelers.
Fern is a key feature of woodland and damp undergrowth. In a diorama it fills the space at the foot of trees, at the edges of paths, in ditches and around water, and gives a scene both volume and a contrast of color against vehicles and figures. Compared with natural materials photo-etched brass is durable, does not curl in damp and keeps the shape you give it. The leaves can be shortened and combined into clumps of various sizes, so the set serves for several scales depending on how large a clump you put together.
Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel, not by twisting, so that the fine ribs do not break. You can manage the shaping with your fingers over a soft surface or with blunt tweezers. Degrease the photo-etched parts before painting and lay down a primer for metal. Paint in layers: a darker green as the base, a lighter shade on the edges and the tips, and for drier fern add ocher and brown transitions. An airbrush gives smoother transitions, while a brush brings out the venation. Finished leaves are glued into the ground with cyanoacrylate glue and completed with scatter material or static grass.
The accessory is supplied as a photo-etched brass fret, unpainted. The ground, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
