Ultimate Guide to laser-cut leaves

When creating this range, we wanted to be sure that the leaf shapes and colours would be appropriate for every layout. We have 3 types of shapes – Maple, Ash, and Elm, which are not restricted to just those species. Such as, maple leaves have jagged points, and the Ash’s more curved, allowing them to easily adapt to most scenery styles.

Our laser-cut leaves are also flocked, giving that realistic, 3D effect. This also adds texture to the leaves, as you would find in real life. With many small-scale modellers out there, sizing was the focus here. These leaves are on the smallest scale possible while maintaining high detail and quality through our laser-cut design. They are suitable for the smallest gauges and up.

Application:

We recommend using Basing Glue and Tweezers to apply these leaves. The leaves can be cut or pulled from the template, then simply apply a spot of glue on a palette or some cardboard, and using tweezers, dip the leaf into the glue and place it in the desired area.

Placement:

Leaves on Pathway

Laser Cut leaves are the perfect way to capture naturally fallen leaves on the ground, pathways, and track. Choose where and how many to create that exact scene you had in mind.

Leaf Piles:

The durability of these leaves makes them ideal for bending and curling into shape, which can be very effective when creating leaf piles.

Leaves on Track

Nothing quite creates that rustic effect like an old track with fallen leaves between siding. For those Railway Modellers who enjoy the ‘delayed train’ concept, laser-cut leaves can be the best option when creating the popular fallen leaf obstruction.

Trees and Branches

If you are looking to create that extra realistic and detailed tree, you should know these leaves can be attached to any tree type – including seafoam, wire, and plastic.

The range of colours allows for the creation of vivid colour depths found in autumn, spring, and summer trees. A winter tree can also be created by following with bush and tree spray, 0.5 mm snow then dusting.

The ease of use and durability of these leaves results in them being the best method for intricate bush and tree designs.

Answer...Unfortunately, we do not sell different sized sieve heads for the Micro Applicator. Only the Pro Grand Applicator comes with three different sized sieve heads.

Here are some key things for you to check when applying static grass using our applicator:

  • Use a powerful brand-new battery (PP3 9V battery).
  • Do not fill the hopper with too much grass, as the grass needs to have space to move.
  • Only apply a smear of basing glue on the required area and make sure to apply the basing grass before it dries. Room temperature can affect this.
  • Do not apply too much basing grass to the area. If you cover the basing glue with too much grass it will not stand but go flat.
  • Once you have applied the basing grass and cannot see the basing glue anymore, add some layering spray before applying the layering grass.
  • Make sure the crocodile clip is near the applicator's head when applying the grass. You do not need to put a nail or screw into your model.
  • Here is a video showing how to use the applicator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-E_ElExUts&feature=youtu.be

Unfortunately, we do not have any stockists in Europe or North America. All our products are sold online and shipped from the UK.

We would recommend using our D-Baller which has been specifically designed to get rid of static grass balls. Here is a video showing how to use this useful tool: https://restore.wwscenics.com/product/modelling-with-martyn-2/
