VIVID GREEN MOSSY TEXTURE

Vivid Green Mossy Texture, a diorama texture by AK interactive

Vivid Green Mossy Texture is a diorama texture by the Spanish brand AK interactive that is to create on the surface of a model the impression a deep green moss makes. The name, put together from the words for a vivid green and a mossy texture, says what growth the product is to create on a surface. The goods belong among accessories for dioramas, not among paints for the surfaces of a model.

What it is suited to

• Bringing out the damp and shaded places of a diorama, where moss would really grow
• Greening the base of a figure so that the model does not stand on a bare surface
• Filling out masonry, stones, trunks and the edges of water
• Breaking up the unbroken surface of a plinth with an accent of color

What to keep in mind

The manufacturer also makes a Green Mossy Texture version with a quieter green, so when ordering keep to the full name, including the word vivid. The volume of the package, the drying time and the way the product behaves under further layers are not given in the product designation, so follow the details on the packaging. It pays to try the product on a piece of base material aside first and to use it on finished work only afterward, because growth is harder to remove from a surface than paint.

Who it is for

It suits builders of dioramas and players of tabletop games who are finishing the bases of figures and want to add greenery with one product instead of putting it together from several materials. Natural growth is one of the small things that turn a cleanly built model into a scene, because it offers the eye a sense of scale and a trace of time.

Store well closed and out of the reach of children. Read the manufacturer's data and safety instructions given on the packaging before use.
