摘要:
A method for constructing model vegetation utilizing natural foliage (10) and the products resulting therefrom are described. The method includes the steps of providing a segment of natural foliage (10), immersing the natural foliage (10) into a liquid colorant, and applying leaf simulating material (22) to the natural foliage (10). For larger model vegetation or for model vegetation requiring a base (52), a tree armature (50) is utilized with additional steps including removing the branches (14) from the natural foliage (10) and affixing those branches to the tree armature (50).
摘要:
A structure is provided for creating an elevated subroadbed for an artificial landscape. The structure includes a flexible riser section of a given length that has a generally planar bottom. The riser section also has a generally planar top extending and supported parallel to the bottom so that the height of the section is consistent along its entire length. The riser is provided with first and second side walls, which each have a series of channels that extend into the riser in spaced apart relation. The channels allow the riser to be positioned in a radius. The top forms an elevated surface that enables low-lying areas to be more easily created on the artificial landscape below the elevated surface. A flexible incline section is also provided for creating a roadbed for an artificial landscape. The incline section has a top that extends at an angle relative to its bottom so that the section increases in elevation from one end to the other. Further, the incline section has channels formed therein which allow it to be flexed in either direction. A first flexible incline section may be provided that rises from a base to a higher elevation. A second incline section is provided which starts from the highest elevation of the first section and further increases in elevation. The second incline section and the first section can be placed in abutting relationship to form a roadbed having a continuous grade. Subsequent sections may be provided which further increase the elevation achieved.
