micro-motion Falling Tree "Fir Tree"

Model scenes frequently captivate people with little gimmicks and surprises that they don’t suspect at first glance.
The Falling Tree is just such a gimmick. The viewer is very surprised when an imposing 17 cm tree falls to the ground completely unexpectedly at the edge of the forest. The trick behind this is extremely simple: there is a servo under the tree that brings it down realistically; slowly at first, and then faster until the tree finally hits the ground. After several seconds, the tree straightens itself up again. 
The Falling Tree is an impressive, extremely realistically handmade, twisted wire tree that is elaborately flocked. The electronics supplied can be connected to a commercially available 16 V model railway transformer and are suitable for AC and DC.
