Gauge Neutral groundcover light green, 85 g

HEKI scatter material, light green, 85 g

Eighty-five grams of fine scatter material from the German maker HEKI in a light green shade. Scatter is the oldest and at the same time the simplest way to make a grassed area on a model: it is sifted onto glue and creates a continuous green surface. It does not have the texture of standing blades that static grass or a grass mat has, but for large areas, backgrounds and places under growth it is still the most practical solution.

Use

• basic grassing of large areas
• a base under grass mats, tufts and bushes
• areas in the background, where the texture of grass is lost
• filling gaps between grass mats
• quickly covering a bare base

How to work with the scatter

Coat the area with flock adhesive or thinned PVA glue and sift the scatter on from above over a lined box, so that the excess can be caught and used again. Do not sift just one shade over the whole area, as the result then looks like a green carpet. It is better to work in layers and mix the shades, or to add tufts and taller growth onto the finished scatter, which gives the area texture.

Who the material is for

For layout and diorama builders grassing large areas, and for modelers who need a base under further vegetation. This is a loose material; do not breathe it in and keep it out of the reach of children. The manufacturer marks its scenery products as unsuitable for children under fifteen.
