FRESH MOSS GREEN

Abteilung 502 Fresh Moss Green - dry weathering pigment, manufacturer Abteilung 502

A dry modeling pigment from Abteilung 502 in the form of a very fine colored powder. It is neither a paint nor a kit but a weathering medium for patina. The Fresh Moss Green shade is a deeper, fresh green suggesting new, living moss and lush vegetation - it suits damp stones, masonry, tree trunks, diorama groundwork and places with permanent damp. The pigment comes in a jar and is applied dry with a soft brush; it settles in recesses and joints, where it forms a natural fresh green growth. At the end it is fixed.

Use

• Apply the fine powder with a brush into joints and onto areas where fresh moss and damp hold in reality.
• Fix it with a pigment fixer or with mineral spirits (white spirit); once dry the effect stays put.
• Combine it with a faded and a lighter green for natural grading of the moss.
• Layer it with earth pigments for a damp, overgrown and living look to the scene.
• Suitable for dioramas, stones, masonry, tree trunks and damp surfaces.

Who it is for

For diorama builders and modelers who render fresh greenery and damp, overgrown scenes and want true-to-life living moss. Working with pigments is easy even for beginners.

This is a weathering pigment (a fine powder), not a paint. Do not inhale the dust, work carefully in a well ventilated space, ideally with respiratory protection.
