A scenic material representing decaying oak leaves. For the floor of a diorama, for ditches and anywhere the leaf litter is meant to have been lying for some time.
Responsibility details are not available.
The material represents oak leaf litter at the stage where the leaves are no longer freshly fallen but are breaking down: the tone is darker and less varied than with freshly dried leaves and the layer looks settled. That is exactly how a scene can be given not only a season but also a sense of how long the setting has lasted. A viewer recognizes the shape of an oak leaf even in a small size, so it pays to place it where it can be seen.
Most often it goes on a forest floor, into ditches, under bushes, at the foot of fences and walls and into the corners where the wind naturally sweeps the litter. It also serves well on vehicles parked under trees, where the leaves catch on projections and in recesses. The layer should not be even: irregularity, thinner patches and darker deposits at the edges are what make a scene believable.
Try the arrangement out dry first and only then fix the leaves in place. Coat the base with thinned PVA glue or with glue intended for scenery, scatter the leaves from above and blow off the excess once dry. Work in two or three thin layers, as one heavy layer looks like a carpet. The tone can be unified with a very thinly applied color or a pigment; with decaying litter it works well to darken the lower layer and leave the upper one lighter. Compare the size of the leaves with the scale of the scene beforehand.
Glue, a base, paints and a model are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
