About product

Gravel - Red Blend by Woodland

A loose scenic medium for building terrain. The word Gravel in the name places it among the gravels, that is among the coarser materials that stay visible on a scene as individual grains. The designation Blend suggests that it is not a uniform material but a mix.

Where gravel makes sense on a diorama

Gravel is a material of human activity and that is exactly what makes it valuable on a scene. It occurs naturally on unpaved tracks and verges, in yards and handling areas, in backfill around buildings, on embankments, in quarries and in drainage. If you pour it over a whole scene it loses its meaning and the area turns gray. If, on the other hand, you lay it only where someone would have brought it in, the diorama starts telling you where people walked and vehicles drove. A mix of different grains also helps to avoid regularity: the coarser pieces stay in the middle of a track, while the finer ones wash to the edges and into the wheel ruts.

Layering and fixing

  • Shape the base first and only then pour the gravel into it, so that the grains settle into the profile of the track.
  • Coat the area with glue, pour the material on, press it with a flat tool and shake the excess off.
  • Fix with thinned PVA glue dripped from above, not sprayed; spraying blows the grains away.
  • Leave the edges of tracks irregular and let them be overgrown by finer scatter and vegetation.
  • Once dry, mute the area with weathering so that the individual grains get a shadow.

Who the material is for

For builders of dioramas, vignettes and scenic bases who want areas with human intervention in their terrain too, not just grass and soil. It combines well with finer soil scatters, which are poured around it and soften the transition.

The material is supplied as a loose medium; glue, paints and tools are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

For building the areas where human intervention is visible, that is unpaved tracks, verges, yards, backfill around buildings, embankments and drainage.

A continuous gravel surface across a whole scene looks artificial and visually flattens it into one gray plane. The effect comes from the contrast with the soil and the vegetation around.

With thinned PVA glue dripped from above. Spraying with an airbrush or an atomizer blows the grains away before they can bond.

Look for the volume and the weight of the package on the packaging.
