Shar2 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Diorama Sets, Leaves and Netting ET Models 1:35 Normally associated with brass etched sets for armoured kits ET Models have now released four sets of what can only be described as diorama material. Three of the sets provide different leaves, Type 1 look like a large Fern fronds, Type 2 are fan like Palm fronds and Type 3 look like Oak leaves. Now whilst the Fern and Palm fronds are individual items, the Oak leaves are on lengths of wire, as well as having individual leaves. Each set has two identical sheets and when folded to shape and painted up could be quite effective whether using them as part of a tree or wrapped in camouflage netting, which is where the last set comes into play. Containing one large sheet of netting this set is to be used in conjunction with the leaves to provide camouflage for European or Pacific dioramas. Alternatively the Palm and Fern fronds could be used to make up all sorts of things, such as a hut roof or bedding mat to name just two. Netting J35-009 Type 1 J35-010 Type2 J35-011 Type 3 J35-012 ConclusionI’ve not had a chance to look at sets like these before and whilst initially I wasn’t convinced of their usefulness, I can now see how they can be incorporated into a diorama with or without the netting. Some careful detail painting will be required, but the possibilities are really only restricted by the modellers imagination. Recommended.

Badder Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 They look more like maple or sycamore leaves, and not like oak at all. But, yes they might come in very handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Vor!!! Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Very effective if sprinkled randomly over a vehicle getting into the nooks and crannies Gives the impression of trees nearby Excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
