The main product are, of course, small flowers. Just go out into your garden and you will find lots of small flowers just waiting to be \"harvested\" (especially in the midst of summer!). You can go ahead and collect a few small flowers, keeping in mind that they can shrink during the drying process. Once you have enough flowers, separate them from twigs or branches. Now take the plastic tray and put a few sheets of newspaper in it. Each flower must be put upside down on the newspaper you prepared to prevent the leaves from curling up while drying. Now we make the glycerine mixture. Glycerine is a thick jelly which can be dilluded in water. One of the characteristics of this product is that it will replace the water in the flowers, while preserving its colour and agility. Start by making a little solution of about 1 unit glycerine and 10 units water. Put this mixture in the spraying bottle and spray this stuff over your flowers. You don\'t have to hold back on the spraying, just make sure your flowers don\'t drown. The flowers will now suck up the glycerine which will push out the water in the flowers. The newspaper will suck up this solution too and the leaves of the flowers will stick to the newspaper. This gives the glycerine the chance to get inside the flowers while they are held in the right shape. Now all that remains is letting everything dry. Of course, not every flower will end up like a perfect miniature to use in your dio, but in reality there\'s not a lot of perfect flowers in a field where troops and vehicles passed by. Another plant that can be treated with this technique is moss. I have seen modelling shops that sell patches of moss for high prices, while it\'s fairly easy to make them yourself. Just find yourself a patch of moss and spray the top extensively with the mixture of glycerine I described in this tutorial. Now let the moss dry and you will see it keeps its green colour, and can now be used in diorama\'s or other projects. I hope this little tutorial was useful to you all and happy modelling!
