Some months ago I spotted that someone was producing laser cut ivy in very small scales. I believe that N gauge was one size quoted.
I have a use for some now but cant find any link/advert or mention of it
Can anybody point me in the right direction please
I fancy some too...
the site might be Treememdous...

I had good service from them when ordering their backscenes.
It looks great on the website. How does the ivy look in real life? Is it to scale - and did you have to specify scale when ordering (I didn't see OO or N as options). Can you split the 6x4" sheet into lots of strands of differnet sizes? It could get expensive covering a layout in that...
Post photos when you get modelling with it!!!
Thanks to you and Findus for spotting that.
Mark.
Well Mustermark scale was my concern as well.
There was nothing definate to say it was gong to be ok so I took a gamble on the grounds that I could alllways return it if it wasnt right.
It looks fine now its here. The whole idea is that you/I take the sheet and unthread one strand, drape it and glue it to a wall/roof etc.
I think the effect will be quite good..........time will tell
The strips of flowers seem quite good as well and are treated in the same way
I'm guessing that the heading of the section 'miniNatur' is meant to be enough of a scale hint to people.
Sounds good - I will have to order some. You know, it didn't even occur to me that the N in miniNatur indicated scale!

Maybe it's me but the hedges they supply are 1" high so in N scale that must be about 12 ft high !! Not exactly your average garden hedge, I rthink they must be more like OO scale if you ask me.
But it wont matter with IVY as there are so many varieties with leaves from less than an inch to nearly a foot long !

seems to be the N gauge section

YE GODS!!!!
I cant believe the price of a piece 6" x 4" ! ! That would cost a fortune to cover my layout having about 70 sq ft of scenic area.
It works out at over £1200 pounds ! ! !
The price of those patches works out at around £185 per sq mtr !!!!
Now that IS madness.
It makes a GRASSINATOR seem rather a good investment. :beers:

Don't you have Leylandii in your area? That's latin for hedges in Leyland, Lancashire ;D
