Handmade Maples by GATRA Modellbau Union in 4 Seasons

The maples (Acer) form a genus of plants in the subfamily of the horse chestnut family (Hippocastanoideae) within the family of the soap tree family (Sapindaceae). They are widespread in temperate and tropical areas in Eurasia, North Africa, Central and North America. A total of 110 to 200 maple species are counted. However, our range only has 2 types to choose from. The seasons spring, summer, early autumn and late autumn are available as well as the nominal sizes N, TT, H0, 0, 1 and 2.

We handcraft the models of our maples from durable materials in our own workshop. For foliage we use the material from miniNatur®, which in our experience comes closest to nature in terms of color and shape. We always strive to give the model trees a natural look and to produce each piece as a unique specimen, as if it had grown in nature.

This enables us to manufacture tree models according to your specifications that deviate from our range, if required. Contact us!
