Hi All,
I just knew my wife would come in handy one day. You see she's into that prolific female hobby of scrap booking and card making.
Anyway I don't know if anyone has seen this stuff before but I think it would be perfect for flowers on dioramas.
It's called Flower Soft and is made in the UK. Pretty cheap here as well at $4.50 plus postage.

Cheek it out and let me know what you think.

Cheers, John

Damn John that stuff looks like it would be handy all over the place .. the possibilities are pretty much endless ..now to see if i can get my gurbby hands on some over here .
Ok just checked it out on Trademe here and yup its there .. for $13.00 a pot ..like normal ripped nine ways from sunday here for everything ..tomorrow i am checking out a company here called Spot light.. they deal with all sorts of things like this .. wish me luck

Hi Phill. You Kiwis do get ripped off worse than us. Having said that though the wife paid $11.50 for her pot so I don't know if the ones on eBay are full pots.

Took a pic (not great but I only have an old small digital camera) of one of my 1:35 figures to show scale. Like you said some many possibilities and they come in a fairly good range of colours.

Well kinda looks like we aint as ripped here on at least this item ,,i have noticed that they sell them in two sizes .. 10ml and 30 ml ..the 10 is like $4.00 here and the 30ml is $13.. so price wise we pretty damn close so thats not too bad at all ,,the annoying thing is that i can only get it on line .. i hate waiting lol

Looks like ground up and colored Lichen like you would find from Woodland Scenics...just finely ground up into smaller pieces.

Actually its not. It's more like coloured and grounded up Scotch scouring pad. The stuff is like a plastic sponge that's been shredded.

My wife is into scrapbooking as well, maybe I need to raid her stockpile of goodies while she's not looking !
