HEKI New Products 2027: Scenery & Model Making
Which realistic trees, rock structures, grass areas or terrain materials are still missing? This page collects wishes for HEKI new products in 2027, explains important scenery techniques and connects them with current products for H0, TT, N, Z and multi-scale model-making projects.
The published starting point is 2026
What Could HEKI New Products Improve in 2027?
HEKI New Products 2027: Scenery & Model Making is not an invented preview of an annual programme that has already been published. The current manufacturer programme comprises the 2026 new products, including a renovation and decoration set, two weathered-spruce assortments and crumpled rock foils with granite and red-sandstone appearances.
Model scenery is especially convincing when more than one material is used. A natural woodland edge, for example, combines ground colour, fine scatter material, low grasses, bushes and trees of different heights. Rocks require transitions to soil, scree, plants and, where appropriate, water.
New products are therefore particularly helpful when they purposefully expand existing material families. Additional colours, matching grain sizes, new tree heights or coordinated complete sets make believable and reproducible scenery easier to create.
- deciduous, coniferous and natural trees
- bushes, hedges and woodland edges
- grass mats, fibres and wild grass
- leaves, flor and microflor
- rocks, mountains and terrain construction
- ballast and track bedding
- roads, paints and surfaces
- adhesives, boards and scratchbuilding
Ideas for more natural and easier-to-combine scenery
Twelve Wishes for the HEKI Programme in 2027
The following suggestions have not been announced. Interesting ideas can be saved locally in the browser and later included automatically in a personal wish message.
Extra-Fine Micro-Tree Series
Smaller foliage, finer trunks and compact growth forms would strengthen depth effects on N- and Z-gauge layouts.
Vegetation in Four Coordinated Phases
Spring blossom, summer green, autumn colours and winter or dead vegetation could form one coordinated colour system.
Forest Floor with Roots and Deadwood
Leaves, roots, tree stumps, branches, fungi and fine woodland scatter could create believable areas beneath model trees.
Crumpled Rock with Transition Structures
Matching smaller foils, scree, pigments and ground colours could conceal joints and connect rock faces to the terrain.
Multi-Layer Wild-Meadow Sets
Base fibres, wild grass, tufts, flowers and low bushes could build a natural meadow in several coordinated stages.
Ballast by Route and Era
Main-line, branch-line, industrial and narrow-gauge ballast assortments could differ in colour, grain and weathering.
Modular Road-Weathering Set
Asphalt base colour, repairs, cracks, oil stains, markings and edge dirt could form one expandable road-finishing system.
Stream with Complete Bank Materials
Water material, stones, sand, mud, reeds and bank plants could create one coordinated stream and riverside scene.
Modern Park and Street Trees
Young trees, tree pits and protective guards would enliven contemporary town, station and residential areas.
Refresh Set for Older Grass Mats
Matching colour, fibres, flor and adhesive could visually renew existing areas without requiring their complete removal.
Scenery Set with Learning Stages
A small practice diorama could explain ground, grass, bushes, trees, rocks and colour step by step.
Select materials according to their final visual effect
Six Important HEKI Product Worlds
A natural model landscape is created from several visual layers. Trees provide height, grass and flor shape the surfaces, while rocks, ballast and roads define the visible terrain.
Deciduous and Natural Trees
Combine Height, Species and Growth Form
Different sizes prevent uniform forests and create convincing transitions between the foreground and background.

From the stable base to the finest vegetation
Build a Believable Model Landscape in Four Layers
Begin with stable, accessible terrain. Then add a suitable base colour and ground material before applying grass, flor and low vegetation. Trees, bushes, rocks, roads and characteristic details complete the visible scene.
Each layer should be tested and allowed to dry before the next material is applied. This keeps track, points, water courses and roads accessible and prevents incompatible adhesives or colours from being combined unintentionally.
Terrain and Base
Plan a stable substructure, track alignment, access openings, roads and water courses before permanent scenery is added.
Ground Colour and Scatter Material
Earth, rock or asphalt tones prevent bright gaps and create a suitable base for soil, ballast and woodland ground.
Grass, Flor and Low Plants
Short fibres form the first layer. Wild grass, mats, flor, bushes and individual plants subsequently provide variation.
Trees and Characteristic Details
Different heights, species, deadwood, stones and small details give the scene a recognisable location and history.
Not every scenery material is restricted to a single scale
Which Scales Suit HEKI Scenery Materials?
The core range is especially relevant to H0, TT, N and Z. Paints, adhesives, rock foils, spreading material and further scenery products can frequently be used across several scales.
| Gauge / Scale | Typical HEKI Applications | Check Before Buying | Useful Wish Direction for 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| H0 · 1:87 | large tree selection, grass, flor, roads, rocks and track bedding | tree height, leaf size, grass length and visible terrain proportions | regional forest types and contemporary urban greenery |
| TT · 1:120 | medium-sized trees, finer foliage, short and medium grass | reduced textures, tree heights and grain sizes | coordinated vegetation and railway embankments |
| N · 1:160 | small trees, fine grass, microflor and compact rock structures | smaller foliage, short fibres and fine ground materials | extra-fine woodland edges and rock structures |
| Z · 1:220 | very fine scatter, flor, short fibres and small vegetation | use coarse materials sparingly and preserve visual scale | microflor and the finest ground materials |
| Gauge 0 · approximately 1:45 | selected large trees and universal rock or ground materials | sufficient height, volume and visible structural detail | large specimen trees and detailed undergrowth |
| Gauge 1 and G | selected large trees, rock foils, paints and terrain materials | precise dimensions and suitability for the intended environment | robust large-scale vegetation and rock systems |
| Multi-Scale | paints, adhesives, boards, rock foils, ballast and scatter | grain, colour, material properties and processing method | coordinated complete sets with clear application guidance |

Model Trees, Grass, Rocks and Terrain Materials from One Specialist
HEKI’s history began in 1953 with small hand-made hunting stands, feeding racks and cardboard tunnels. Trees, firs and further model railway decoration subsequently expanded the range.
The current product world includes deciduous and coniferous trees, bushes, hedges, grass mats, fibres, foliage, rocks, roads, track bedding, paints and model-making boards.
A coherent project should be planned according to scale, region, season and intended visual effect. Combining several related materials generally produces a more natural result than relying on one uniform surface product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers About HEKI New Products 2027
These answers explain publication status, product worlds, scales, scenery construction and automatic product verification.
Have the HEKI new products for 2027 already been published?
As of 31 August 2026, HEKI officially presents its 2026 new-product programme. A complete regular programme for 2027 has not yet been published.
Which HEKI new products for 2026 are documented?
They include the renovation and decoration set 16000, weathered spruce assortments 21802 and 21803 and crumpled rock foils 3515 to 3518 with granite and red-sandstone appearances.
What is HEKI particularly known for?
HEKI specialises in model scenery accessories, including model trees, grass, flor, foliage, rocks, ballast, track bedding, road materials, paints and adhesives.
Which gauges does HEKI cover?
H0, TT, N and Z are especially important. Many paints, adhesives, rock foils and ground materials can also be used across several scales.
How do I select the correct tree height?
The scale, tree species and position are decisive. Larger, more detailed trees are convincing in the foreground, while smaller models strengthen depth in the background.
How is a natural model forest created?
Use different heights and tree species. Add woodland ground, bushes, deadwood and open edge areas instead of positioning all trees evenly in rows.
What is the difference between a grass mat and wild grass?
A grass mat covers larger areas quickly and evenly. Wild grass, fleece and loose fibres create irregular transitions, embankments and taller vegetation.
How is HEKI crumpled rock foil processed?
The foil is carefully crumpled and shaped. It is then fixed to the base and blended at the edges with soil, scree or vegetation.
Is HEKI crumpled rock foil suitable for waterside areas?
The current foils are described as waterproof and can therefore be used beside streams, banks or lakes. The adhesive must be suitable for the particular base material.
What should be considered when ballasting and bedding track?
The gauge, track profile, grain and colour must suit one another. Rail heads and moving point components must remain clear, and the track should be tested before permanent fixing.
Are archived HEKI products displayed?
No. Wording such as “no longer in our range”, “archived”, “product removed” or a B-stock designation results in exclusion from the dynamic overview.
Do the product cards show prices or delivery status?
No. The cards contain the product name, image, product world, gauge and scenery theme, but no price, delivery or availability information.
How does the page recognise genuine HEKI new products for 2027?
Potential candidates are checked on their own individual product pages. Only an explicit designation such as “New Product 2027” or “Neuheit 2027” results in inclusion.
Can I submit my own HEKI wish?
Yes. The form creates a prepared message and opens the email application configured on the visitor’s device. The text can still be reviewed and changed before sending.
