AK Vegetation - Laser-cut Realistic Plants Ivy
AK-Interactive: Ivy - 1:32 / 1:35 Set of ultra realistic climbing plants made by CO2 laser cutting technology from renowned manufacturer AK-Interactive. This ivy is the best solution thanks to its detailed workmanship and true-to-life leaf shapefor depicting vegetation climbing buildings, walls, trees or abandoned machinery. Primarily designed for 1:35 and 1:32 scales, but also works well in 1:48 scale.
Ivy: Symbol of time and desolation
In nature and architecture, the ivy(Hedera helix) is a symbol of longevity and the gradual victory of nature over human creations. AK Vegetation - Ivy (AK8137) brings this plant into the world of model making with incredible precision. Thanks to laser technology, each petal has its own distinctive lobed shape that would be impossible to replicate at this scale with handmade or plastic moldings.
In historical modelling, ivy is invaluable. It is perfect for dioramas of European towns and villages (e.g. during the battles in France or Italy), where it covers the facades of houses, cemetery walls or the trunks of old oak trees. It is also a perfect element for "greening" the wreckage of machinery that has been lying in the landscape for a long time, giving the scene a melancholy and realistic feel. Ivy can effectively cover joints between buildings and the substrate or mask minor imperfections in a structure.
Technical details and applications
Working with laser-cut ivy requires a little patience, but the result is visually stunning.
-
Precision manufacturing: the CO2 laser ensures sharp edges and detailed leaf veining without the need for trimming.
-
Scale and versatility. However, due to the small size of the sheets, it is also very popular with modelers working in 1:48 scale and with creators of large figures(54 mm to 90 mm).
-
Stylization. Tendrils can easily be wrapped around poles, trunks or tank barrels.
-
Fixing: We recommend using a small amount of white glue (PVA) for sticking to vertical surfaces (building walls). For fixing in the ground, AK118 Gravel & Sand Fixer is ideal as it leaves no residue when dry and maintains the matt appearance of the plant.
Important note: The package does not contain paint or glue. The plants are supplied in a realistic green colour which can be further tinted with washes or filters as required.
