Ivy leaves (comes with "stems" to
create ivy)
Directions -
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.

Pine boughs
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.

Hay
Directions -
This product allows you to model realistic looking hay in your dioramas.
H&A hay consists of grasses and legumes and can be used in and around
farm buildings, wagons, and carts. It can also be used to camouflage
vehicles or gun emplacements in your dioramas. Many wartime photographs
show dug-in anti-tank guns camouflaged with hay when deployed in open
fields. In some cases entire tanks were hidden in haystacks.
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.

Asphalt
Directions -
Hudson & Allen's asphalt is an inorganic material that comes
pre-colored so no painting is required. To use this product simply mix
with water to a paste-like consistency and trowel onto your diorama,
smooth to desired finish and allow to dry. A small roller can be helpful
in achieving a nice rolled out finish. Clear gloss can be sprayed on the
asphalt for a wet look. Lines can be painted with hobby paint. You may
wish to use their red clay to weather your asphalt. |

the product has dried. Can be used dry as a weathering powder for creating
rust stains or heat discoloration around engine exhausts.

Snow
Directions -
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
Directions -
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.

Foliage
Directions -
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.

Groundwork (perfect soil/ground/earth effect for
1/35 and 1/32 scale, but also works with larger scales).
Directions -
Add warm water and mix to a thick paste. Special effects can easily be
created. Try adding H&A groundwork to a medium gloss mix to create a

Winter Grass
Directions -
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.
