- Brand history:
This book from the publisher Mininatur of the Silhouette range released on the market in 2020 illustrates the full range of scenery backgrounds using photos of railway networks.
- The Mininatur/Silhouette company in Germany is a company specialising in the manufacture of scenery products and in particular anything that can represent vegetation.
This brand is highly reputed in Germany and France among many model makers for the finesse and good presentation in volume and colour of vegetation.
The range is very rich, it covers all scales (O, HO, N....) and all possible disciplines in model making (railway, miniature, military diorama....) there are all kinds of grasses, flockings, foliage, bushes but also trees to build or already decorated and this, declined for the 4 seasons! So it's easy to vary the species, volumes and colours in the same space, just like in real life. Last but not least, almost all the Mininatur/Silhouette range is ready to be placed on your décor, and comes in rigid cases for protected, long-lasting storage. You can plan to use them quickly at any time.
- Some tips for installation:
Cutting the mats, grass strips and foliage is simply done with a pair of scissors, gluing can be done with wood glue or a flexible, transparent glue (latex type). Grass tufts can be glued in place with a dot of glue.
Take a good look at nature before you start, as this will help you to coordinate colours and volumes and achieve a pleasing and above all realistic result!
