So the lichen really looked great about a year ago when I used it on my model.....now it looks really small and is sorta this crunchy green stuff.

How do you keep lichen looking good on a model forever?

Clear coat can sometimes (note the sometimes) keep follage looking fresh, or at least not curled up and dead.

Railroad guys use glycerine and water- here's a link to one recipe:
