m4rky Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Has any one used flocking powder for Nails on their models? Have seen these on amazon and wondered if they would work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fashion-Gallery-Colour-Velvet-Flocking/dp/B014A62QFG/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1514548533&sr=8-7&keywords=flocking+powder I want some grey flocking but not sure whether I want a light or dark grey. Was going to get a few and see which looked the best. This set looked a possible cheap alternative to specific model stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 'Specific model stuff' is usually something else, repackaged, with an additional charge on top. Flocking is flocking. Buy some and give it a test run for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4rky Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I have ordered them and see what they are like. Wasn't sure if the model specific flocking was more in scale than other types. We'll see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you may be right about the scale thing, but if it's too long you can always specialise in low riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Some model car builders in the US have been using nail-art flocking for years for the interiors of their model cars; eg, on floors, dash tops and parcel shelves Several years ago son #3 used some brown coloured on boars in his Warhammer sets; he mixed it with brown static fibre though for a fur texture. It looked ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I flocked a rat once , no , true story! In 1/16 Didn't work out too well , the subsequent flat coats and mud etc , flattened the flock out. Edited January 6, 2018 by krow113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_ Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 FYI, I have tried this and it's fine. Painted the part with enamel and the rained it on with one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IQ4VIU8/ I'll try to remember to post a picture later.

Matt_ Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Oh, yes. I also contacted the seller to see if they would supply a box of one (or two) individual colours. Sadly they stated it could only come in the pre-packaged sets. I wonder if 0.5mm is a small enough fibre size. http://www.theflockingshop.co.uk/100g-bag-50-c.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
