Diorama Materials 

groundwork  (From Italy)

Back to Groundwork & Diorama Aids Index

Made of natural non-toxic materials.  Glues onto base of figure or diorama with regular white glue.  Can be painted or air brushed.  Since materials are natural, they actually do not require any painting and can be used as is!

RealGrass

As figure painter modelers, we are always on a quest to find the right material to simulate grass in the right scale and the right texture to achieve most realistic effect.  Marco Ganghini, discoverer of this remarkable non-toxic natural material, has now given us "RealGrass".

This material can be used for virtually any scale, and can also be used to simulate straw.  Material's natural color allows it to be used "as is", but can also be airbrushed or painted.  Cutting material to smaller size even allows usage with 1/72 scale modeling products!
