GRASS FLOCK 2MM DRY

Static grass Grass Flock 2 mm Dry

Static grass is made of fine dyed fibers that are sprinkled onto an area coated with glue and stand upright under the effect of a static charge. The result is a cover that, unlike sprayed foam or scatter, looks like real blades. This variant has a fiber two millimeters long and the shade of the range labeled as dry, that is a yellow-brown to straw tone of parched grass. In the AK interactive range it is part of a set of seasonal shades from which transitions between spring, summer and autumn growth can be mixed.

Where a two-millimeter fiber works

The fiber length decides the character of an area more than the shade does. Two millimeters give a low, trampled or mown cover: the shoulders of field tracks, farmyards, the grass strips of airfields, the ground between rails, the surroundings of trenches and wheel ruts. In large scales it works as a base layer into which taller tufts and bushes are then set, so that the cover does not look uniform. The dry shade suits scenes of late summer, of steppe and southern regions, or areas churned up by vehicles.

Use

• Undercoat the area in an earthy tone first, so that bare ground does not show through between the fibers.
• Apply a dispersion glue made for grass, or white glue thinned with water and a drop of detergent.
• Apply the fibers with an electrostatic applicator, or at least sift them through a fine sieve from a height.
• Once dry, vacuum or tap the loose fibers off and add tufts and bushes to the area.
• Mix the shades, as a single-color area looks artificial.

Who it is for

For modelers who build dioramas and scenic bases for military vehicles, figures and aircraft and who want a grassy area with a real structure. More experienced modelers will appreciate that the shade combines without trouble with the other seasonal variants of the same range.

This is a modeling material, not a kit. Glue, an applicator and other scenic accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
