Lichen was once a very commonly used scenery material who has lost some favor with modelers as the selection of scenery material has expanded. Today I found a bag of dyed, compact lichen still just fresh after years in a storage area. A piece was used to fill in a spot where there should be a bush or plant and the small piece of the green stuff did the trick. The lichen blended in very well once the other scenery materials were in place around the lichen
Finding this bag of lichen gave me an idea as to how to finish a steep grade behind a large building. I'll use lichen and some tall plant material like Scenic Express trees planted in the lichen. Lichen maybe easier to install in mass than ground foam or make rock formations.
Old, dried out lichen mixed with ground foam makes good small broken branches and ground litter and I have a half full bag of the dried out lichen just for this purpose.
Anyone else use lichen and do you make use of it?
Thanks.
