Mixed Forest 5 - 12 cm (22 pcs)

HEKI Mixed Forest 5 to 12 cm, 22 pcs

Twenty-two finished model trees from the German maker HEKI, five to twelve centimeters tall, put together as a mixed forest. A number like this is no longer an accompaniment but a whole stand: twenty-two trees will plant up a slope, a field copse and the edge of a layout at one go and spare you adding to them later, which easily lets shades and sizes drift apart.

Use

• continuous mixed woodland on a layout
• growth in the background and at the edge of a scene
• field copses, windbreaks and belts of trees
• slopes growing over and abandoned ground
• 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 a number like this, plan the area out in advance: lay all the pieces out dry, look at the group from the place you view the layout from, and only then drill and glue. Taller trees belong at the back and at the edge, lower ones at the front. In a forest leave them standing close together and the ground beneath them almost bare.

Who the set is for

For layout and diorama builders planting up a forest at one go, and for modelers who want all their growth from a single production batch. The set can also be split between a forest and its edge, because it contains enough pieces for both. This is modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
