Fallen leaves are one of the few details on a base that show immediately and that paint cannot fake. These leaves are cut to scale and carry the shape and veining of a real leaf, so they hold up in a close-up photograph. The shade is oak autumn. They are placed with tweezers or sprinkled straight from the bag and fixed with thinned PVA. The 7 g bag holds enough, at scale-leaf size, for a great many scenes.

Frequently asked questions
How are the leaves fixed?
With thinned PVA or sand fixer. Put the glue down first, sprinkle the leaves from above and let it dry. Spraying glue onto leaves already scattered is not worth it – they curl and lose their shape.
Will the leaves fade over time?
The paper leaves are dyed through and last for years under matt varnish. If the base sits in a display case in direct sun, give it a thin coat of matt varnish – that protects the rest of the scene too.
How many leaves are in a bag?
The maker states a weight of 7 g, not a count. At scale-leaf size that means hundreds of pieces – one bag covers several dioramas.
