product info

Groove

It comes in a transparent plastic rigid box just like the boxes used in food delivery. You find 4 balls of them in the box. They can be used as in groups as well as single branches. They can be combined with foliage for making bushes or leafy trees. Costs 6 € shipping a box of grooves. (Photos 1-2-3-4)

Shrubs

Packaging is the same like the groove. It can be used for making long or short shrub groups as they are in assorted heights. It can also be combined with foliage and/or leaves for obtaining camouflage of tank, gun or even a sniper. Costs 4 € shipping a box. (Photos 5-6-7)

Foliage

It comes in a plastic bag and looks like grinded death green leaves. It has numerous applications by combining with other natural materials. Costs 3 € shipping a bag. (Photos 8-9-10)

Leaves

It comes in a small plastic zip-bag. Look like dead autumn leaves and can be used in combination with tree or bush making materials and as well as on the ground. I am not sure but it seems that this material is not just a dried material but also it is treated with some preservation solution like glycerine. Costs 4 € shipping a bag. (Photos 11-12-13)

Realgrass

This one is real grass but with very fine fibres. Very well cleaned up. Can be used for imitations of grass and straw. I think can be used in any scale. You can adjust the hight by cutting it so looks like it can be used in small scales too. Costs 4 € shipping a bag. (Photos 14-15-16)

Flowers

I might say that these are great looking, hard to find natural flowers for our ground works. White colored small flowers fit to scales between 1/35 and 90 mm. Comes in a transparent small box and they are almost a dozen. Costs 4 € shipping so that I won’t reccomend it for making big gardens but can be really a very nice touch to add them on your groundworks and even on your figures. (Photos 17-18-19)

conclusion

If you are a city guy like me these materials are just a treasure for you. They are clean, well packaged that can be used on further ground work projects easily. Possibility of combining them also with other products gives you chance to make different groundwork touchs. Can be used in different scales between 1/35 and 90 mm. They can be painted for achieving different aspects of nature. All of them natural materials and this is I think the most important point, they look real!
