1:35 Maple leaves summer Semi-latex

What the leaves are for

Maple leaves in 1:35 scale serve to green a diorama where ordinary scattered scatter looks indeterminate. The individual leaves have a recognizable maple leaf shape, so on a finished scene you can tell what tree it is. They will find a use in canopies and bushes, on the ground as fallen leaves, and also as a small detail caught on a fender or in the track of a vehicle.

Material and working

The leaves are rendered in a summer, that is a deep green shade, and are made of a flexible material that the manufacturer designates as semi-latex. They are not rigid cutouts: a leaf can be bent, twisted and turned, so the randomness of real vegetation can be imitated well.

• 1:35 scale, the shape of a maple leaf
• A summer green version; the leaves are already colored
• A flexible material; the leaves can be shaped
• Use in tree canopies, in bushes and on the ground

Usage tips

Pick the leaves up with tweezers and glue them in smaller groups rather than one piece at a time, or the work never ends. On the armature of a tree, spot attachment with super glue works well; on a terrain surface rather a thinned white glue. Then unify the shade with a light misting, so that the leaves do not all match one single color.

Who it is for

Suitable for builders of dioramas and display case scenes who want vegetation with a recognizable species. The package contains only the leaves; a tree armature, terrain, glue and paints are not in it, unless stated otherwise.
