Static Grass Tufts 12 mm - Dry Green

Static grass tufts 12 mm, dry green

A sheet of self-adhesive grass tufts with fibers twelve millimeters high in a shade of drying green. According to the manufacturer there are seventy-five tufts on the sheet, which measures seven by fourteen centimeters. Twelve millimeters is tall grass: on a diorama it makes up the growth by fences, in ditches and in neglected places, that is, wherever nothing was mown and the grass grew tall.

Use

• tall growth by fences, walls and ditches
• neglected places and abandoned areas
• the edges of field tracks and balks
• covering the transitions between elements of a scene

How to work with the tufts

A tuft is peeled off the sheet and pressed into place. The adhesive layer holds on a smooth, clean surface; on grainy terrain it pays to add a drop of thinned dispersion glue. Lay the tufts out irregularly and in varying density, because regular spacing gives away at once that this is a manufactured product. With tall grass it helps to comb the fibers out a little with your fingers or tweezers after sticking them down and to leave some tufts leaning over, so that the scene does not look as if the wind had never once blown through it.

Who the material is for

For builders of dioramas and sceneries, for painters of figures who make their own bases, and for railroad modelers. Tall tufts also come in useful wherever something needs to be covered: overgrown grass at the foot of a building or at the edge of a base neatly hides a joint that would otherwise be visible.

This is a small-sized material with an adhesive layer. Keep it out of reach of children under three years of age and store the sheet flat, so that the tufts do not get crushed.
