Shrub Tufts 6mm self-adhesive - White

White shrubs for winter and for a garden in bloom

Tufts of low growth in a clean light tone, laid onto finished terrain. The height of six millimeters and the self-adhesive form follow from the name. The number of pieces, the diameter of a tuft and the material used are not given in the name and are not stated here.

Two uses for one shade

White reads two ways in a scaled-down landscape. In a winter scene it works as a shrub covered in snow or hoarfrost, especially when a fine scatter is added to the surrounding terrain. In a summer scene, on the other hand, it stands in for a flowering shrub, a fence overgrown with white blossom or a field of daisies. The surroundings make the difference: cool gray tones around it pull the scene toward winter, warm green toward summer. Both readings come from the composition of colors around it, not from any change to the tuft itself.

How to handle the tufts

• Work with clean hands, since light growth is easily soiled
• In a winter scene add the scatter to the surrounding areas too, so that the white does not stand alone
• In a summer scene let a little green show through under the blossom
• Do the final fixing with clear coat lightly and from a greater distance

Who it will serve

It will be appreciated by builders of winter scenes, makers of garden and rural settings and gamers preparing bases with a prominent white patch. It also works well in fantasy landscapes, where growth is meant to look unusual or spectral. With a snow-covered scene, keep the order of work: first the terrain and the figures, then the growth and only at the end the snow scatter, which ties the whole area into one weather.
