ACCESSORIES
I've always built a variety of accessories for my layouts and dioramas, like buildings, vehicles, trees, streetlights, electronic circuits, and automation, which more and more people are requesting to me.
Their common denominator is that the products I offer must be of the same high quality as those I produce for myself (and I'm very demanding...).
Here's a selection, but if you have a specific need, feel free to contact me; maybe I can help.
- SCALE Trees -
Among the accessories always present in a railway model or diorama, trees always attract a lot of interest from enthusiasts who want to recreate a landscape that is as natural as possible.
The market already offers various solutions but, as always, I make various types of trees in order to obtain an original and personalized result.
For this reason, I propose my solution for the creation of Conifers, creating bare trees on which everyone can add their own vegetation.
These are resin trees, made up of trunk and main branches, supplied raw, i.e. without any type of painting, which everyone can customize as they wish.
Example of a winter forest of fir and larch trees, created using trees of various sizes, enhanced with textures and a light dusting of snow.
The standard model sizes vary from a height of 18mm up to 89mm, which in the various scales, are equivalent to trees of the following heights:

An example of raw logs ready for vegetation application, after the application of a primer and a light stain that highlights the bark pattern carved into the trunks.
Each tree is supplied with a convenient support, easily removable, useful for both packaging and transport. Furthermore, it is easier to handle each model individually during the various processing phases (colouring, application of vegetation).
My suggestion is the following:
- Application of a coat of primer;
- Coloring in your favorite shade;
- Application of vegetation, for example using synthetic fibers or textures;
- Removing the support and placing it in the landscape.
This is what the package of trees looks like, fixed on a cardboard base used for transport, but also useful for easy application of primer and color coats.
Here is an example of fir trees of various sizes, after applying vegetation made of synthetic fibers of different lengths (4.5 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm). As you can see, it is easy to achieve excellent results by varying the type, color, and size of the fibers. Although the base models provided are always the same (though there are TWO different models for each size), applying the vegetation will make the finished trees all unique, and by positioning trees of different sizes, you can easily create a varied and natural-looking forest.
When applying vegetation using synthetic fibers, the use of an electrostatic applicator is strongly recommended.

TREES SETS AND PRICES
For better overall economy, optimizing both production and subsequent processing phases, I offer my customers sets of raw trees (resin colour: grey), in the various dimensions referred to in the previous table, as well as a set of mixed sized trees.
• Upon request I can apply a base coat (in the suggested shades: gray or light brown) and painting (quoted separately).
• If needed, I can also offer fully finished trees.
• Multiple orders will be appreciated and rewarded with discounts (>10 sets).
