The Broadleaf Mapleis perhaps the most colorful of all the
maples in NorthAmerica.
A well known
species, this maple
is found throughout rural countrysides and urban areas. Highly prized as an
ornamental tree for itsbrilliant autumn foliage.
Leaf Flake Foliage
is very simple to use and economical when applied
properly. Follow these steps and you'll produce one
of the best looking foreground trees you'll have on
your layout!
1:
Cut a small square approximately 3/4" to 1". Snip diagonally half
way through at several angles. At one end, pull apart to give a
feathered fan shaped appearance with a "shaggy-end" texture.
The Genius of Silflor has done it again!
Examine this foliage a little closer and you'll
realize that the flakes are actually a five lobed
leaf! Never before has such foliage detail, with
this many seasonal tones, been available to the
average modeler.
2:
Apply Goo II or Quick
Grab adhesive to your branches.
(Spray adhesive works well with fine branch trees like SuperTrees)
Leaf Flake Foliage Sets include three sheets of
leafy foliage on a super-fine polyester branch support.
Sheets measure 3 1/2" x 6" each. Leaves are
colorfast synthetic paper and resist fading and
discoloring.
3:
Gently apply Leaf Foliage to branch with the feathered fan
facing outward. Tease ends to give additional shape.
