Title: Noch Leafy Foliage question - how much do you get?
Post by: olicana on 03 January 2021, 09:06:59 PM

Hi guys, Happy New Year.

Has anyone used model railway product "Noch Leafy Foliage" (link here:
https://www.modelhobbies.co.uk/noch---dark-green-leafy-foliage-20-x-23cm--n07301-273176-p.asp (https://www.modelhobbies.co.uk/noch---dark-green-leafy-foliage-20-x-23cm--n07301-273176-p.asp) )

The link is for dark green (I want dark green), but here is a pic of the light green variety because it shows the product shape better.

It looks fantastic but, I can't find anywhere that tells you how much you get in a bag, unless 20 x 23 cm is the coverage (which isn't much for £8).

Help appreciated.

I think this stuff is a single sheet of greenery you're supposed to tear up.

If you're after the 100g tubs of loose leaves, they're codes:

07140  Olive Leaves
07142  Light Green Leaves
07144  Medium Green Leaves
07154  Dark Green Leaves

I think 07167 is a card of small bags of all 4.

I've only used the loose ones pva'd onto horsehair for hedgerows.

Thanks, that's very useful to know. Glad I asked. Sheets would be useless to me - I'm looking to foliate horse hair bushes.

Get colours brighter than you think you need; glueing onto the HH & being spread out darkens the colour a lot. The bright green looks garish in the pot, for example, but is a cheery spring green on the hedge.
