Description
White Cotton Balls are precision-wound cellulose spheres engineered to provide an instant, clean solution for representing abstract foliage, trees, and landscape massing in architectural site models. Manufactured by winding light cellulose strips with a specialised adhesive additive around a central mandrel, these uniform balls feature a built-in core hole. This unique design detail makes them brilliant for sliding directly onto miniature timber pegs, pins, or wire trunks to create neat, stylized treetops.
Ideally scaled for urban planning models and conceptual massing studies between 1:500 and 1:1000, these lightweight cellulose spheres offer a clean, bright white finish that looks fantastic on crisp presentation boards. The hollow core speeds up your workflow significantly by getting rid of the need to drill or punch holes through dense materials. They can be left in their clean white state for minimalist monochromatic models, or easily tinted using spray paints, inks, or powdered pigments to match specific design schemes. On top of that, they bond quickly using standard PVA, craft glue, or hot melt adhesive.
Available in a range of diameters and convenient pack sizes, these mandrel-wound cotton balls offer a practical, professional-grade solution for model making studios, university design workshops, and urban planning projects.
