The Ultimate Base Layer for Realistic Scenery

The Fine Flock from Geek Gaming Scenics is your go-to material for creating smooth, detailed, and realistic low-profile ground cover. With an ultra-fine particle size, it blends seamlessly with painted bases and serves as the perfect foundation for more elaborate scenic additions.

Why Choose Fine Flock?

  • Subtle & Seamless Texture: The small grain size creates a soft, consistent texture that convincingly represents short grass, moss, dirt, dry earth, and dense ground cover without overwhelming your miniatures.

  • Perfect Base Layer: Use it to cover painted surfaces and fill in gaps between larger elements (like static grass or coarse flock), achieving a natural, multi-layered look.

  • Maximum Colour Control (Available in a wide range of colours): Fine Flock is available in various realistic single colours and custom blends (like Light Green, Mid Green, Dark Green, Earth Tones, etc.). This allows you to precisely define different environments:
    • Vibrant Fields (Bright Greens)
    • Dry Wastelands (Brown/Tan Hues)
    • Deep Forest Floors (Darker Blends)
  • High Efficiency: The small particle size provides excellent coverage, making it highly efficient and cost-effective for flocking entire armies or large sections of a wargaming table.
  • Easy to Use: Applies quickly with any hobby-grade PVA or scenic glue.

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 Fine 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

The Fine Flock's small particle size makes it excellent for intricate detail and foundational layers. Use these tips to get the most realistic and durable finish:

1. Mastering Application

  • Use Fine Sieves: If applying a single, very thin layer for detail (like pollen or dust), use a fine tea strainer or small scenic sieve to ensure the flock falls lightly and evenly without clumping.
  • Thin Glue for Softness: When basing, consider using a thin layer of glue. This allows the flock to nestle close to the surface, maintaining a low profile that scales well for short grass or dirt at smaller miniature scales.
  • The "Flock Pad" Trick: For repetitive basing (like a whole army), pour a layer of fine flock into a small, shallow box. After applying glue, simply press the base face-down onto the flock, lift, and tap. It’s quick and ensures even coverage.

2. Enhancing Detail and Realism

  • Layer Over Paint: Fine flock takes washes well. Apply the flock, let the glue dry, then apply a thinned brown or green wash over the top. This darkens the recesses, adds shadows, and makes the texture look more natural and weathered.
  • Mist for Static Grass: Use a fine spray bottle filled with water (with a drop of dish soap to break surface tension) to lightly mist the Fine Flock before adding static grass. This wetting helps the static grass adhesive (applied via dropper) flow and bond through the fine flock layer.
  • Blend Transition: Use the Fine Flock to smooth the transition between painted areas (like rock or road) and larger scenic elements (like patches of Coarse Flock or tree trunks). Its small size bridges the gap perfectly.

3. Durability and Clean-Up

  • Seal Twice for Durability: Since it's light, fine flock can be prone to shedding if not sealed properly. After the primary glue cures, give the piece two thin coats of scenic sealant spray, allowing time to dry between coats. This prevents particles from lifting off during handling.
  • Reuse is High: Always apply Fine Flock over a sheet of paper or a tray. Because it's so fine, nearly all of the excess can be collected and funneled back into the tub using a small spoon or paper cone, maximizing your use of the material.

Instructions for use

This product is ideal for miniature basing, wargaming terrain, and dioramas.

Materials Needed:

  • Geek Gaming Scenics Fine Flock
  • PVA Glue or Fast-Drying Basing Glue
  • (Optional) Matt Scenic Sealant Spray
  • Small paintbrush or applicator brush
  • A container or tray to catch excess flock

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

  1. Prep: Ensure the base, terrain piece, or diorama area is completely clean, dry, and free of dust.
  2. Base Coat (Recommended): For best results, paint the surface underneath a color similar to the flock (e.g., a dark brown or dark green). This ensures any tiny gaps look like soil instead of bare plastic.

Step 2: Apply the Adhesive

  1. Apply Glue: Use a paintbrush to apply a generous, but not overly thick, layer of PVA glue or basing glue over the entire area you wish to cover.
  2. Ensure Evenness: Ensure the glue is spread evenly right up to the edges. Fine flock works best when it has a smooth, consistent layer of adhesive to settle into.

Step 3: Apply the Fine Flock

  1. The Dip Method (For Bases): While the glue is still wet, gently press the base straight down into a container of the Fine Flock.
  2. The Sprinkle Method (For Terrain): Liberally sprinkle or shake the Fine Flock over the wet glue until the entire surface is completely covered.
  3. No Gaps: Ensure the flock covers every visible spot of glue.

Step 4: Secure and Cure

  1. Remove Excess: Immediately after application, gently hold the base/piece over your collection tray and firmly tap the underside to shake off all loose, excess flock. Funnel this excess back into the original tub for later use.
  2. Cure: Allow the piece to dry completely for a minimum of 6 to 12 hours (or until the glue is fully clear and set).

Step 5: Seal and Protect (Crucial for Wargaming)

  1. Seal: Once dry, apply a coat of Matt Scenic Sealant Spray over the flocked surface using a spray bottle or pipette.
  2. Cure Again: Let the sealant dry fully. This final step is essential to lock the fine particles in place, preventing shedding during handling and gameplay.

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.
