About product

Leaves Punch Lime leaf punch

A hand tool with a die following the shape of a lime leaf. Thin colored material is placed into the punch and a squeeze punches individual leaves out of it. You are therefore not buying ready-made foliage but a tool with which you make the leaves yourself, in any quantity and shade, and use them on any number of scenes.

Why the lime in particular

The lime leaf is strikingly heart-shaped, with an uneven base and a pointed tip, and it is noticeably larger than a birch leaf. That has two practical consequences: the shape reads well on a model even from a distance, but at the same time it suits larger scales better, where a big leaf does not look out of proportion. The lime is the classic tree of Central European villages, greens, avenues and courtyards — on a diorama you use it where you want to build a civilian, inhabited landscape rather than a forest. The crown of a lime is dense and compact, so the leaves go on in a thicker layer and the structure of the branches underneath stays hidden.

Usage tips

  • The material has to be flat and dry, otherwise the edge of the punched leaf is ragged.
  • Punch over a dish or into a box; the leaves scatter easily.
  • Mix several shades of green; a single-color crown looks like a plastic blank.
  • Sprinkle the leaves onto thin PVA glue applied to the armature of the crown; do not place them one by one.
  • Leave some of the leaves on the groundwork under the tree — fallen leaves give the scene its season.

Who the tool is for

For modelers who build the vegetation on dioramas from scratch and want a large, clearly recognizable leaf shape for civilian scenes. It will be appreciated above all by builders of larger scales and of scenic bases for figures.

This is a modeling tool, not a kit and not finished leaves. The material to be punched, glue and tree armatures are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A lime leaf is heart-shaped and noticeably larger, so it reads even from a distance and suits larger scales better. A birch leaf is small and oval.

No, this is the tool alone. Colored sheets for punching are sold as a separate set.

Punch out several shades of green and mix them only while gluing. Sprinkle the leaves onto thin glue from above; never place them one at a time.

That depends on the thickness of the material placed in the punch and on the force of the squeeze.
