Flock is a commonly used basing material for miniatures, terrain pieces and diorama projects. It is used to recreate natural ground cover such as grass, moss and vegetation in miniature scale. With flock, hobbyists can easily create realistic bases and landscapes for wargaming miniatures and scale modelling. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find different types of flock suitable for miniature basing and terrain building.
What is flock?
Flock is a fine coloured material used to simulate natural ground textures and vegetation in miniature landscapes. It usually consists of small foam or fibre particles that resemble grass or moss.
This basing material is commonly used to represent grass fields, forest floors, vegetation and natural landscapes. Flock is available in various colours and textures, allowing hobbyists to add variety to their bases and terrain pieces.
At Scenery Workshop flock is widely used by miniature painters, wargamers and scale modellers who want to add realistic natural details to their projects.
Why hobbyists use flock
Flock is a simple and effective way to give miniature bases and terrain a natural appearance.
- Realistic grass and vegetation effects
- Ideal for miniature basing
- Suitable for terrain and diorama projects
- Available in multiple colours
- Easy to combine with other basing materials
Many hobbyists use flock to create grassy fields, forest floors and other natural environments on miniature bases and tabletop terrain.
How to use flock for miniatures or scale models
To apply flock, hobbyists typically spread a layer of hobby glue or scenery glue on the base surface. The flock material is then sprinkled onto the glued area.
Once the glue dries, the flock remains attached and forms a natural ground texture. Combining different colours and types of flock can help create more realistic landscapes.
What to consider when choosing flock
When selecting flock, it helps to consider colour, texture and the type of environment you want to create.
- Green flock – for grass and vegetation
- Brown flock – for forest floors or dry soil
- Fine textures – for subtle ground surfaces
- Combined materials – with static grass and other basing products
Many hobbyists combine flock with grass fibres, plants and stones to create natural landscapes. At Scenery Workshop you can find different types of flock suitable for miniature basing, terrain building and modelling projects.
Frequently asked questions about flock
What is the difference between flock and static grass?
Flock consists of fine particles that create soft ground cover, while static grass uses longer fibres to represent upright grass.
Can flock be combined with other basing materials?
Yes. Many hobbyists combine flock with sand, stones, plants and static grass.
Does flock need glue to stay in place?
Yes. Hobby glue or scenery glue is typically used to secure flock to a base.
At Scenery Workshop you can find a range of flock that helps create realistic grass and natural landscapes for miniatures, terrain and diorama projects.
