Notes · Q & A
What is actually in these jars, and what is it used for?
The stone, gravel and ground products contain loose natural or rubber scenic material for building rocky terrain and surface detail. AK8309 is the exception: it consists of 3D-printed resin bamboo pieces rather than granular fill.
How do I fix the loose material to a base or diorama?
Arrange the loose rocks, gravel or ground material where required, then secure it with white glue or AK118 Gravel & Sand Fixer. AK does not give this fixing instruction for the 3D-printed resin bamboo pieces.
What modelling scale do these materials suit?
AK lists the loose stone products at 1:35, but also states that they can be used from 25 mm miniature bases through to larger-scale scenery. Choose a fragment size that looks appropriate beside the model rather than treating 1:35 as an exclusive scale.
Should I choose rocks, gravel or ground material?
Choose flat, volcanic or desert rocks when individual fragments should remain visible, gravel for finer granular fill, and ground material for broader surface coverage. The black gravel and large stones are rubber, while the bamboo set is a separate resin scenic accessory.
How much area will one jar cover?
AK gives a 100 ml volume for the loose rocks, gravels and ground products but publishes no coverage figure; the bamboo set has no volume stated. The area depends on how densely the material is placed, so an exact figure cannot be sourced.
