Ivy - detail
While I didn't want to cover up all the lovely egg carton brickwork of the massive chimney, I did think some ivy was in order. You know I don't shy away from cutting and shaping individual leaves, but I found something that not only looked realistic but made life easier. This is O-Scale (1: 45) English Ivy from Scenic Express (Silflor Summer Ivy by Mininatur).
There are three sheets in the box. The leaves might be small for direct 1:12 scale, but it worked very well. You cut and stretch it to create long vines. I didn't overdo it and used just under one sheet of the ivy for the project, using Aleene's clear gel glue to attach it to the house and chimney. It disguises the awkward edge trim around the chimney.
