Gauge Neutral Meadow grass medium green, 28x14 cm

HEKI decovlies, meadow grass medium green, 28 by 14 cm

A grass mat from the German maker HEKI from the decovlies line of a size of twenty-eight by fourteen centimeters. Meadow grass has a shorter pile than the wild grass of the same maker, so it does not create untended growth but a short and regular lawn, the kind that grows on grazed and mown areas. The fibers are applied to a practically invisible carrier mesh, the mat is torn into irregular pieces and the edge is lost in a landscape.

Use

• mown meadows, pastures and garden lawns
• areas between buildings, paths and tracks
• the basic grass base under taller growth and bushes
• repairs and thickening of an older grassed area

How to work with the mat

On a new base apply glue from a spray can and press the mat down; on an already grassed area the fibers hold even without glue. Lay low grass as the first layer and only then add tufts and taller growth onto it; this order matches the way areas become overgrown in reality too. By paths and under fences let the grass show through to the base, so that it shows where people walk.

Who the mat is for

For builders of layouts and dioramas who need a reliable basic lawn, and for modelers who want to set a tended area apart from an overgrown one. The medium green shade goes well with the other variants of the line. This is a modeling material, not a toy. The maker marks its landscaping goods as not suitable for children under fifteen years of age.
