how to about grass
Posted: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 - 11:22 AM UTC
I have looked and can not find one, but is there any features where or else way on applying grass. I am intrested on how you apply the mats and static grass. I have done it a few times but not with very good results. I found a few reviews but no how to. IF not I would recommend thuis for a feature by someone.

To apply static grass, just put down a layer of white glue (such as Elmers) and sprinkle the grass on top of it. I usually put down more grass that it actually needs and knock off the remainder after the glue dries.
Here is an example of how to texture a base.
Hope that helps.

There are a number of threads about applying static grass in the Model Railroading forums on the TRAINS.COM website. Model Railroaders use the stuff all the time and even discuss some different techniques and ways to apply the product.
