Thank you Todd.

Looks like cool stuff! I'll be adding this to the wish list for future reference. Thanks for the review!

Darren, Great presentaion! I want a set of this - I love moss, lichens, slimes, molds, and enjoy using them on my models. The possibilities for this set is endless.

Hmmmm...looks like the same products by Woodland Scenics only in smaller quantities.

nice products!

I am very impressed by this company and all of its' stuff so far. I will have to check this out for sure.

Thank you all for your comments. For my first outing with this product from LifeColor, I was very impressed with how easy it is to use and i assume my results will get better the more I use it. I particularly liked the result with the lighter colours.

Exactly, Woodland Scenics or similar railroad hobby stuff. I used some yesterday for exactly that purpose.
If you happen to own one colour (green in my case, just mix it with suitable pigments to get other variations. For instance I like using MIG's olive green pigment to make it darker or any Sand and earth coloured pigment to lighten it up. Add some Cork dust or fine sifted earth and sand to any of those mixes (or grass fibers) and you change again.
Instead of "Fixer fluid", dampen you surface with a diluted water/white glue mix and apply your mix with an old brush, simply with the fingers or just trickle it over.
If you use the wood glue pure or mix it with earth, the base cover is already thicker and you ill be able to simulate a thicker moss coverage.
You know that adding pigments pure, either dry or diluted with isopropanol is good enough to make very fine moss.

This is all fun and not limited to a 6 bottle £17.5 set!

Thanks Darren for the review.
