modelling flock/static grass bulk purchase ?
« on: 15 May 2015, 10:35:56 PM »
Hi,

I need big amounts of modelling flock and static grass, I'm wondering if any company sells it in bulk quantities instead of tiny bags ?

thank you for your help !


edit: if possible, in Europe

Have you tried noch.com they have flock etc in buckets which should last for decades.

thank you, It seems that they sell 300 grams buckets, wich matches my needs pretty well ! Now I have to find an online dealer for them.

Check "Ziterdes" , they belong to Noch (don't know the business word), so they might have similar products.

Actually I think it possible to directly send an email asking them. Usually these companies are happy to help even with odd requests. Add a picture of what You like to do with it, if possible.

And flock like this is most likely to get from all modelltrain suppliers, cause these hobbyists tend to need more terrain, kork, mini-stones, and such than we do.

Actually I'm searching for bulk purchase for professional use. I'll follow your advise and contact manufacturers and wholesale dealers to see if it's possible to buy material directly !

Do you have Woodland Scenics distributors over there?  They sell various flock, turf, etc in shaker containers that are about 950 cubic cm.

Not as big as a kilo, but certainly more than the little containers that gaming companies like to sell.

Thanks,

I don't really imagine what represents gallons and cubic inches to be honest  lol I also have to see the price including overseas shipping and taxes, but thank you !

I don't know about weight, but the Woodland Scenic containers are one quart which is just a bit smaller than one liter.

thank you, it's easier to represent it now. Even if 1L still seems not enough for my need.

I would need, I'd say, someting like 3 or 5 liters of each reference I need. Not so easy to find, at least in Europe !
