Poplar Trees 14 cm (4 pcs)

HEKI poplars 14 cm, 4 pieces

Four finished model trees from the German maker HEKI fourteen centimeters tall. The poplar keeps a narrow tall silhouette that cannot be mistaken for another kind of tree, and fourteen centimeters is a height that on a layout matches a mature but not the largest tree. Four pieces in the package add up to a short avenue or a group by a field boundary.

Use

• shorter avenues along roads and canals
• a group of poplars by a farmstead or at a bridge
• an element of height in the middle part of a scene
• completing an existing avenue with lower pieces
• accompanying greenery along streams and drainage ditches

How to work with the trees

The trees are stuck into a pre-drilled hole or glued by the foot of the trunk. With slender shapes it proves itself to make the hole deeper and to fix the trunk in it with a drop of glue, otherwise the tree will lean at the first touch. In an avenue do not put all the pieces at the same height, as even planted trees do not grow at the same rate. A combination with the taller poplars of the same range gives a line of trees a natural rhythm.

Who the set is for

For builders of layouts and dioramas who put avenues together, and for modelers who need a medium height between low greenery and mature trees. A medium height also suits where tall trees already stand and an avenue has to fall away somewhere smoothly, so that a scene does not end abruptly. It is a modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its landscaping goods as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
