Summer Flowers 6mm

Summer Flowers 6mm — summer flowering tufts from Paint Forge

Summer Flowers 6mm is low scenic vegetation from the brand Paint Forge. It is material to be applied — flowering tufts that are placed on finished terrain — not a kit and not a standalone object in a scene. The name refers to summer flowering growth and carries the designation 6 mm, by which the height is usually stated with scenic vegetation.

What scenes it suits

• summer views with a flowering meadow or a field boundary;
• rural and garden scenes beside civilian models;
• the edges of roads and ditches by military hardware, where a scene is meant to come off calm and overgrown;
• the bases of figures, where a few small flowers add scale and life.

How to work with the material

Vegetation comes last, once the terrain is finished, that is after painting, the wash and pigments. Spread the tufts out irregularly and in groups of unequal size; a regular grid gives a scene away at once. If a tuft does not hold by itself, use a drop of PVA or cyanoacrylate glue under the base and watch that it does not wick into the fibers. A tuft can be divided with scissors into smaller clumps, or trimmed down to lower growth. A summer scene can take variety — combine flowering tufts with static grass and dry shades, so that the area does not come off uniform.

Who the material is for

For modelers of dioramas, vignettes and elaborate bases for military hardware, figures and civilian models alike. The material is not tied to a particular scale, as the character of the scene is what decides.

It is scenic material, not a kit. A base, terrain compounds, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
