Pine Branches

Pine branches 1:35 (Mantis Miniatures)

A set of ultra-realistic pine branches in 1:35 scale, which serve as a scenic accessory for dioramas and for camouflaging military equipment. This is not a model of a vehicle but a finished decorative element. The branches are shaped, assembled and painted by hand, so they can be used practically straight out of the package. In the box you will find some ten branches of differing growth, thanks to which the resulting scene looks natural and free of repeating patterns.

Use

• Filling a diorama out and lightening it with realistic vegetation.
• Improvised camouflaging of tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles with branches, as the crews commonly did.
• Creating a woodland or field setting around figures and equipment.

Usage tips

The branches can be fastened with super glue or with modeling white glue. The shades can be fine-tuned locally with a dry brush or with pigments so that they go with the rest of the scene. For a firm hold on a vehicle, combining them with camouflage netting or straps works well.

Who the set is for

• Builders of dioramas and vignettes on military themes.
• Modelers who want realistic camouflage without the labor of making vegetation.
• Beginners and advanced builders alike who will appreciate a finished and painted accessory.

This is a scenic accessory, not a vehicle kit. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
