Tufts are ready-made clumps of grass on a self-adhesive backing: lift one with tweezers, set it on the base, done. Unlike static grass, which is sprinkled across a surface, a tuft works spot by spot – you put it where a weed would grow, between stones, at the foot of a wall or under a vehicle's wheel. That irregularity is what makes a base come alive. At 4 mm the tufts are mid-height and dense, so on their own they cover ground and turn a flat base into overgrown terrain. The shade is dense autumn.

What it is for
- Clumps of weeds on figure bases
- Overgrown roadsides and wall footings
- Height contrast against low static grass
- Finishing a completed base quickly
What to pair it with
Low grass cover comes from 2 mm static grass, and fallen leaves from the oak autumn leaves. Build the base from AK textures and finish it with pigments.
Frequently asked questions
Do the tufts hold on their own, or do they need glue?
The backing is self-adhesive and holds well on a smooth surface. On coarse texture or sandy groundwork it is better to add a drop of PVA – otherwise they lift over time, taking some of the groundwork with them.
Can a tuft be trimmed smaller?
Yes. A tuft can be split into smaller clumps with tweezers and shortened with scissors. A trimmed tuft reads more naturally than a whole one – in nature no two clumps are the same height.
Can tufts be painted?
Yes, but only with an airbrush and heavily thinned paint from above. A light pass of ochre or brown ties the tuft into the rest of the base and takes off the too-clean factory shade.
