Hudson and Allen Ivy is a combination of natural and synthetic materials which come in natural colors thus eliminating the need for painting. You may , of course paint any of the materials in this kit to suit your own application. In the "real world", ivy and other vines are usually found climbing up trees or fence posts, and often climb up buildings where they can quickly cover entire walls. From modeling standpoint, they can be effective in blending structures into the scenic background. Although vines do creep along the ground, the most dramatic effect is achieved when modeled "climbing"
The Ivy may be assembled using any of the usually available hobby glues, we find the "white glues" are the easiest to use and generally give the best results.

Hudson & Allen Pine Boughs are a natural material which can be used to create realistic camouflage on miniature military vehicles and dioramas.  It can be used to represent coniferous foliage in a number of scales.  The material is non-toxic and comes ready to use with no painting required. H&A Pine Boughs look great when placed on armoured vehicles, especially in dioramas presenting Normandy, the Ardennes or other European battles.  Wartime photos show pine boughs liberally attached to German armored vehicles with rope or wire in an effort to avoid detection by allied fighter-bombers (with only limited success).  Pine Bough can also be used to camouflage static positions such as bunkers, mortar and gun emplacements.  Incredibly lifelike pine trees can be built by inserting this material into the holes drilled into a shaped and textured wooden trunk.

H&A hay can be scattered or piled into position and then secured in place by using diluted white glue. When modeling haystacks you may wish to first build a mound out of wood or Styrofoam, cover with white glue, and then sprinkle with hay to create a very realistic haystack.

Hudson & Allen "Snow" is a blend of inorganic materials which will not yellow, and will give you realistic snow for your diorama or model. It is easy to use right out of the bag and requires no painting. Simply mix with water to a past-like consistency, and spread onto your diorama to form flows and drifts. Allow to thoroughly dry. Stand back and receive your well deserved praise.
If you wish to model a dusting snow, use this product dry. First wet the area to receive the snow with diluted white glue or a dusting of clear laquer. While the model is still wet, sift a light coat of Hudson & Allen "Snow" onto the model and allow to dry. Blow off any unadhered "Snow".

Slush" is a mix of ice & snow & dirt mixed with water to form a semi-frozen mess. It is usually tinted by the soil or other dirt below it and from the wheels or tracks of vehicles moving through it.  When modeled properly it can add a wonderful effect to any diorama. For example, a model splashing through a puddle full of dirty slush with chunks of ice floating and bobbing.
"Slush" is compatible with all the commonly used clear casting resins used to make water, so try adding some slush around the edges of your nearly frozen puddles and/or ditches.

Turf is a rather short dense growth of grass and its mattered roots. H&A turf is a custom blend of synthetic materials. For best results apply white glue to areas to be "planted." Once glue is dry loose material can be shook off for reuse. Try mixing turf into mud and apply to tank track treads. Refer to photographs of vehicles to get ideas.

In developing this product , H&A tried to offer the modeler an alternative to ground foam or photoetched products. Foliage is the term used to describe the leaves of growing plants, or plant leaves collectively. This has always been difficult to model and as a result, some modelers avoid it completely. This foliage is a natural product similar to that used in  IVY (9402) and FOREST LITTER (9403), but somewhat coarser in size. It has not only a leaf-like shape, but has dimensional surface detail. Although it is already dyed green, you may add color variations with almost any commonly available paints.
The "Foliage"  may be affixed to branch structures with common white glue or spray adhesive. For branch structures, try using dried flowers such as Caspia or Sweet Annie. Plant roots can also be used and can be quite long lasting if treated with water and glycerin mixture.

Hudson & Allen Winter Grass is a natural hair product that has been processed and colored to be used right out of the package. For the most realistic effect clip small clumps of the grass from the backing and "plant" into H&A groundwork (while the groundwork is still wet), this method allows you to vary the height and density of the grass achieving a most life like result. To model short grass trim to about 1/8th of an inch and glue to diorama using contact cement.
