Why Model Railway Lichen is so Popular with Model Makers

Also known as “reindeer moss” lichen is considered by many modellers to be the gold standard of materials when it comes to creating realistic bushes, hedges, brambles, trees and more. It’s easy to achieve professional-looking results with just a modest amount of lichen, some glue and a bit of imagination. If you are a fan of model railways you’ve no doubt seen plenty of lichen even if you didn’t know exactly what you were looking at. It’s the stuff that caused you to say “It looks so real!”

 

What Can You Do with Lichen?

Lichen modelling enables you to create bushes and trees that sell themselves to the viewer. Like sea foam, lichen is a natural material that, with minimal manipulation, can be made to resemble much larger items viewed at a distance. Those hedges and shrubs created with lichen can also be used to hide a plethora of otherwise troubling details like join lines and other imperfections.

If you want to ensure the quality of your model railway or diorama pick up one of our Lichen Multi-Packs. It provides all the model railway lichen you need in a variety of different colours to produce effects that would look right at home in Pinewood Studios.
