Products description
This handcrafted windswept pine model brings the typical wind-shaped growth form of coastal Scots pines to your model landscape all year round. The leaning trunk, asymmetrical crown and irregularly protruding branches give the tree a lively, exposed appearance. Place this model as a striking solitaire on dunes, dykes or rocky slopes or in small groups to recreate wind-exposed scenes on your model railway layout or diorama.
The Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), prototype for this model, is widespread across much of Europe and far into Siberia and prefers nutrient-poor, often sandy soils. In Germany its natural share of the forest stands is relatively small; the large areas covered by pine today are mainly the result of forestry plantations. Under favourable site conditions the species can reach heights of around 45–48 metres in nature. Windswept pines are usually lower, often crooked solitary trees whose growth form is strongly influenced by wind and harsh site conditions. Choose the model height that matches your scale or follow our recommendation for your model railway gauge to recreate wind-shaped pine landscapes in miniature.
