Green lime leaves in 1:35 scale for building a summer crown above a village green. Loose plant material glued on by the handful onto a wire armature of a branch.
Responsibility details are not available.
Green lime leaves move a scene to the middle of June, when the crown is at its densest and a sharply outlined shadow lies beneath it. A village green with a wayside chapel suggests itself, two old limes by a low wall and under them a halftrack parked up whose crew is using the stop to cook. A pause in the middle of an advance gives a scene a calm that is hard to find in a combat view.
A lime leaf is recognized by its heart-shaped outline, the asymmetric base at the stalk and the finely serrated edge. It differs from oak and maple enough for the difference to show even reduced to one thirty-fifth of real size. That is exactly why leaves are obtained by species and not all tipped into one dish.
Building the crown: the leaves are not glued on one at a time. A wire armature wrapped in paper tape works well; thin PVA glue is applied to the ends of the twigs with a brush and the material is sprinkled into it from a spoon. The excess is tapped off and only once dry is the crown thinned with tweezers so that the sky shows between the leaves.
What to keep in mind: lime holds a saturated green longer than birch and flowers right into July. When a scene is meant to capture the height of summer, it pays to leave only a few leaves on the ground and keep the rest fresh. A few drops of matte varnish sprayed from a distance will unify the color and at the same time fix the leaves against a draft.
