Lichen - Light Green Mix

Woodland Scenics Lichen, light green mix

This is a package of natural preserved lichen in a light green shade. It is not a kit or a paint but a scenic material that serves as a quick and economical mass for making vegetation on a layout, a diorama or gaming terrain. The material is flexible, easy to shape, and its irregular structure sits naturally among the rest of the greenery.

Use

• Bushes, low scrub and dense undergrowth between trees and houses.
• Quickly filling out tree crowns and making bulky masses of foliage.
• Picking out uneven terrain, rockeries and the edges of roads.
• Combining with scatter material and static grass to layer vegetation.

Work tips

Tear the lichen lightly into smaller tufts and glue it with dispersion or CA glue. You achieve a gradation of color by sifting a fine foliage scatter over the pieces once they are in place and fixing it with matte varnish or thinned glue. For a deeper shade the material can be sprayed over with thinned acrylic paint.

Who it is for

• Railway modelers building layouts and scenery.
• Builders of dioramas and military scenes.
• Wargamers and makers of gaming terrain.

This is a scenic material, not a model. A natural product may differ slightly in shade and structure from piece to piece.
