Foliage flocks pine green

HEKI foliage flocks, pine green, 200 ml

Loose foliage flocks from the German maker HEKI in a package of two hundred milliliters. It is finely ground foam material colored to a dark shade keyed toward blue, which imitates the needles of pines and spruces and at the same time serves well for shaded bushes and undergrowth beneath crowns. The flocks are scattered onto armature material glued down beforehand and create volume that a twig on its own will never have.

Use

• putting tree armatures and finished trunks into leaf
• creating bushes and dense undergrowth on a diorama
• thickening finished trees that are sparse out of the box
• the dark parts of a wood beneath crowns and in ravines

How to work with the foliage

Coat the tree armature with flocking glue or thinned white glue and scatter the flocks from a dish from above, so that the surplus falls through and can be used again. Work over a mat or in a box; you will save yourself the tidying up and the material. Do not use the dark flocks on a whole tree on their own, for the crown then looks flat. A better result comes from leaving them by the trunk and in the lower parts and adding a lighter shade on top.

Who the material is for

For builders of dioramas and model layouts who finish their trees and bushes themselves, and for anyone who wants to unify greenery of differing key into one scene. This is a loose material, so do not inhale it and keep it out of reach of children. The maker marks its landscaping goods as not suitable for children under fifteen years of age.
