Leaf trees, 9-18 cm, 14pcs

HEKI Deciduous Trees 9 to 18 cm, 14 pcs

Fourteen finished model trees from the German maker HEKI, nine to eighteen centimeters tall. The upper limit of eighteen centimeters means that the box also contains mature trees, that is, ones that in H0 match a genuinely large tree. The nine-centimeter spread lets you build growth with depth: large pieces at the back and at the edge, smaller ones at the front, and the forest immediately looks more extensive than it really is.

Use

• a continuous broadleaf forest with mature trees
• growth in the background of a layout
• field copses, windbreaks and belts of trees
• a park, a manor garden and avenues
• a base for all the greenery of a smaller layout
• growth above a cutting and a tunnel portal

How to work with the trees

The trees are pushed into pre-drilled holes or glued by the foot of the trunk. With the tallest pieces make the hole deeper and fix the trunk with a drop of glue. Lay the whole set out dry first and check the view from the place you look at the scene from. In a forest leave the trees standing close together and the ground beneath them almost bare; at the edge, by contrast, add bushes and grass.

Who the set is for

For layout and diorama builders putting together a continuous forest with mature trees, and for modelers who need a larger number of pieces at once. Fourteen pieces are enough for a whole forest, so a scene can be planted up in one go. This is modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
