Take your miniature bases, wargaming tables, and dioramas to the next level of realism with Geek Gaming Scenics Coarse Flock. This versatile, Coarse grain scenic material is perfect for replicating dense, natural textures that standard flocking materials can't achieve.

Key Features & Applications:

  • Extra Volume & Texture: The chunky, coarse grain size adds immediate depth and dimension to your scenery, perfectly simulating dense undergrowth, heavy brush, thick moss, and leafy ground cover.

  • Versatile Scenery Builder: Ideal for a wide range of uses, including:
    • Miniature Basing: Create a dense, lush base for your troops to stand on.
    • Tree Foliage: Excellent for building realistic, full-canopy trees and bushes.
    • Terrain Boards: Add heavy texture to hillsides, rocky outcrops, and jungle floors.

  • Realistic Colour Blends (Variety of Colours Available): Available in various natural shades (e.g., Scorched Grass, Dark Green, Rainforest Canopy, etc.) designed to be mixed and matched for the most natural and varied appearance.
  • Hobby-Grade Quality: Our Coarse Flock is easy to apply with PVA or scenic glue, and can be sealed with a scenic sealant for a durable finish.

Simple to Use for Maximum Impact:

  1. Apply your choice of adhesive (like the Geek Gaming Scenics Fast Drying Basing Glue) to the area you wish to cover.
  2. Generously press or sprinkle the Coarse Flock onto the wet glue.
  3. Shake off the excess and allow to dry completely.
  4. Optionally, seal the flock with a scenic sealant for a rugged, permanent bond.

Tips

1. Preparation & Application

  • Use the Right Glue: For the most secure bond, apply a generous layer of thick PVA glue or a dedicated scenic/basing glue (like the Geek Gaming Fast Drying Basing Glue). This coarse material needs more adhesive than fine flock.
  • The Dip Method: For basing miniatures, liberally apply glue to the base, then press and dip the base directly into the tub or tray of Coarse Flock. This ensures full coverage and pushes the chunky material firmly into the adhesive.
  • The Tap Technique: After dipping or sprinkling, gently tap the underside of the base/terrain to shake off all loose, excess flock. This saves material and prevents stray pieces from getting stuck later.

2. Enhancing Realism

  • Layering for Depth: Start with a darker colour of Coarse Flock as a base layer. Once dry, lightly sprinkle a brighter, contrasting coarse flock (or even a finer flock) over the top. This layering creates incredible depth and natural tonal variation.
  • Create Bushes & Shrubs: Mix the Coarse Flock with a small amount of glue on a palette and clump it together to create small, irregular pieces of "clump foliage." Glue these clumps onto terrain features to form realistic, high-volume bushes.
  • Blend with Other Materials: Coarse Flock works perfectly as the dense, underlying layer when combined with other elements like: Static Grass (use static grass on top of the coarse flock).Small Stones or Gravel. Geek Gaming Scenics Base Ready Mixes.

3. Durability & Finishing

  • The Sealing Essential: The most important step! Once the glue is completely dry (wait at least 12-24 hours), seal the entire area with a matte spray sealant or a thinned mix of PVA/water (applied via dropper). This secures the large, heavy grains.
  • Avoid Wetting Unsealed Flock: Never apply water or water-based washes directly onto unsealed flock, as it can mat down the fibres or cause discoloration if the material is heavily manipulated while wet.
  • Colour Control: If you want to subtly adjust the tone or blend the flock to the miniature's paint job, give the finished flock a very light, localized drybrush with a complementary paint colour (e.g., light green or pale yellow).

Instructions for use

This coarse flock is designed to create highly realistic, dense foliage, brush, and textured ground cover.

What You Will Need:

  • Geek Gaming Scenics Coarse Flock
  • Scenic Glue (PVA or Fast Drying Basing Glue is recommended)
  • Applicator tool (old brush, sculpting tool, or spatula)
  • Sealant/Matte Varnish (Recommended)
  • Collection Tray (to catch excess flock)

Step-by-Step Guide for Miniature Bases & Small Terrain:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface (base or terrain piece) is clean, dry, and has any base coats of paint applied.
  2. Apply the Glue: Using an old brush or sculpting tool, apply an even, liberal layer of scenic glue to the specific area where you want the flock to adhere.Tip: For extra texture, you can stipple the glue to create small peaks and valleys.
  3. Apply the Flock: Hold the base over your collection tray. Generously scoop or pinch the Coarse Flock and sprinkle or press it directly onto the wet glue. Ensure the area is completely covered.For Dense Brush: Gently press the flock into the glue to achieve maximum volume and adhesion.
  4. Remove Excess: Carefully tap the base firmly against the side of your collection tray to dislodge all loose and excess flock. Collect the fallen flock for reuse.
  5. Allow to Dry: Allow the base to dry completely. This can take anywhere from 2 to 24 hours depending on the type and thickness of the glue used.
  6. Seal (Recommended): Once completely dry, apply a coat of Matt Scenic Sealant Spray or matte varnish over the flocked area to permanently lock the material in place and prevent shedding.

Tips for Large Terrain Boards:

  • Patchwork Application: Work in small, manageable sections to prevent the glue from drying before you apply the flock.
  • Layering for Realism: To achieve varied texture, first apply a layer of fine sand or earth scatter, seal it, and then apply the Coarse Flock over specific areas (like bushes or banks) for layered depth.
  • Blending: When flocking next to areas of static grass or other materials, use a clean, dry brush while the glue is wet to gently blend the edges for a more natural transition.

Care Instructions

  • 1. Sealing is Key
  • Always Seal: For maximum durability, especially on miniature bases and wargaming terrain that will be frequently handled, it is highly recommended to seal the flock after the glue has completely dried.
  • Recommended Product: Use a dedicated scenic sealant like Geek Gaming Scenics Matt Scenic Sealant Spray or a matte varnish. This locks the flock in place and prevents shedding during play.
  • 2. Cleaning & Maintenance
  • Dust Removal: Use a soft, dry brush (like a large makeup brush or an old, soft paintbrush) to gently dust the flocked areas. Brush lightly in one direction.
  • Avoid Vacuuming: Do NOT use a vacuum cleaner, as the suction can pull up and damage the flocking material, even if it is sealed.
  • Spot Cleaning (Extreme Cases): If a small area is soiled, use a cotton swab very lightly dampened with water. Dab gently, do not rub, and let the area air dry completely. Only do this if absolutely necessary.
  • 3. Storage and Handling
  • Handling: When handling finished miniatures or terrain, try to hold them by the edges or the main model structure, minimizing contact with the flocked areas.
  • Storage: Store finished pieces in a cool, dry environment. Avoid storing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, even though the dyes are lightfast, as this can degrade the glue and sealant over time.
  • Transportation: When moving terrain or miniatures, use specialized storage cases with foam or compartments to prevent pieces from rubbing against each other, which can cause abrasion and loss of flock.
