HEKI Grass Tufts, Summer 10 mm, 50 pcs

Fifty individual grass tufts from the German maker HEKI, ten millimeters tall, in a summer shade. The summer tone is more saturated and slightly darker than the spring one, because grass in full season is no longer translucent. Combined with the ten-millimeter height it produces growth of the kind found on unmown grassy strips between fields in July, that is, dense, tall and fully green.

Use

• tall grass on unmown grassy strips between fields and embankments
• overgrown ditches and the edges of field lanes
• tufts at the footings of posts, fences and bridge piers
• growth between siding tracks and on abandoned ground
• a base of tall growth to which other shades are added

How to work with the tufts

The tufts are not self-adhesive; they are fixed with modeling glue, ideally a flock adhesive or PVA glue. Apply a drop of glue to the base and seat the tuft in it with tweezers. Tall tufts belong by obstacles and along edges, not spread evenly over an area. Mixing shades works very well: mostly summer with a few spring or autumn pieces among them, and the area stops looking like a uniform carpet.

Who the set is for

For layout and diorama builders who want to distinguish a tended area from an overgrown one, and for modelers looking for a general-purpose shade of tall grass. This is modeling material, not a toy. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
