View · Overview
Product overview
AK8053 contains two coarse-grained cork sheets of 200 × 300 mm, each 2 mm thick. AK’s guide identifies this grain for larger-scale work, including facades and asphalt, and demonstrates it as the foundation of a model road. Because AK notes that thickness and compaction affect how cork handles, this gauge provides a relatively shallow scenic layer for road beds, building faces and shaped groundwork.
Cork is the bark of the cork oak, found mainly in the western Mediterranean
AK textures the initially smooth cork with a metal-bristle brush
Acrylic paste can be brushed on, then worked with a water-dampened sponge to remove marks and form an asphalt texture
The guide’s wet-painting method uses acrylic colours ranging from dark grey to light sand

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.
