SMART MUD XL 2 200 ml
SMART MUD 2022.png

SMART MUD XL 2.0 allows you to create great looking terrain, without the base cracking or shrinking as it is with typical low quality pastes. Our diorama paste is very easily shaped, allowing a lot of time before it dries up, and when it does it becomes rock solid as ceramic yet flexible thanks to proprietary reinforcing fibres included in the mix. Lightweight filler makes sure the diorama is not heavy as it is with plaster and can be easily taken to modeling shows. Grains mimic actual terrain so it's easy to achieve much desired realism. Proprietary "easy imprint" formula helps create realistic imprints of tracks which is unattainable with typical acrylic slurries available on the market. Probably the best modelling paste/clay out there! Please click the photo for a more detailed description.

SAND & BALLAST FREEZE 2022.png

Sand & Ballast Freeze is capillary action acrylic adhesive with very low surface tension formulated to bond loose material such as sand, gravel, rubble or ballast. Allows for bonding together very tiny, even micronised grains, without disrupting the structures they are forming, tested with both fine 40 µm sands (0,04 mm) and coarse gravel up to several millimetres in diameter. Saturated terrain, can be further shaped after application. Making foot prints, dunes, tire or track prints in wet structures is easier than before! Please click the photo for a more detailed description.

Crystal PVA adhesive

PVA is a classic way of gluing all kinds of materials on a diorama base. PVA is good when you need to affix and position a lot of objects and using a CA glue would be wasteful. PVA dries slowly allowing for a lot of manipulation so that you can plan the layout of your base on the fly. Appropriate for materials such as wood, paper, cardboard, minerals. VMS PVA has improved formula and dries two times faster than old school PVA you might have used and what's more important the joint is much less milky! Please click the photo for a more detailed description. 

Finish: translucent

Combine with: wood, paper, cardboard, stone, sand, plaster, fabric
