AK8262 supplies reddish lichen texture for bark, stone, abandoned materials and buildings. Because AK notes that lichen colour is normally determined by its photosynthetic component, the modeller may mix or blend different scenic colours to match a particular season or location. This keeps Red Brown as the starting colour while allowing the final placement to reflect the environment being built.
The flakes are made from synthetic material
AK lists applications at 25 mm, 35 mm and above
Catalogued as lichen vegetation for diorama use

Notes · Q & A
What do tuft sizes like 2mm, 4mm and 6mm mean?+
That's the grass fibre length. 2mm suits small bases and subtle ground cover, 4–6mm reads as fuller vegetation on 28–32mm miniature bases.
Are tufts self-adhesive?+
Most modern tufts peel off their sheet with adhesive on the underside — press onto the base, no glue needed. Loose static grass is applied over PVA instead.
How do I apply static grass?+
Brush PVA where you want grass, sprinkle or use an applicator, then tip off the excess once dry. An applicator makes fibres stand upright for a more natural look.
