Green Hedge 25 x 7 mm, 2 pcs

HEKI Green Hedge 25x7 mm, 2 pcs

Two strips of model hedge from the German maker HEKI with a profile of twenty-five by seven millimeters in a green version. A green hedge with no particular species named is the most usable item in the whole group in modeling practice, because it commits to nothing: it can be used by a family house, by a station or along a park path without the viewer wondering whether that shrub belongs there.

Use

• general enclosure of gardens, yards and plots
• separating the street from a garden in built-up areas
• hiding the transition between the scene and the edge of the baseboard
• a screen in front of an unsightly part of a layout
• a strip of vegetation along lanes and footpaths
• enclosing playgrounds, yards and public areas

How to work with the hedge

The strip is cut with scissors and glued with PVA glue directly onto the base. A taller hedge holds upright less well, so prop it up while it dries. Level the ends after cutting and sprinkle granulate over them. If you are building several plots side by side, it helps to vary the hedge slightly in color, for instance by spraying one with a darker shade, because neighboring hedges are practically never identical.

Who the item is for

For builders of layouts and dioramas with housing and for modelers looking for a general-purpose hedge not tied to a particular species. A general-purpose green hedge is also a good choice to keep on hand, because it suits practically anywhere and will not be left over. This is modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
