The stuff looks great and can be stood back up when repositioning figures or vehicles. Does anyone know this technique and would be wiling to share it? Thanks

Sorry Gary, you'll have to give a bit more info. What's the product name and who makes it?

Hi Pat
All I know is Hudson and Allen use it on their prebuilt terrain and Build arama is fixing to start using it on their prebuilt terrain. This picture is of a Hudson and Allen piece by Ken Osen. Neither offer it as a stand alone product.

maybe that's just static grass. woodland scenics sells it

hello,


have a look at military miniatures warehouse site under the name of joefix-studio they have it in there product range.


feel the panzer!

Hi Gary

Do you mean the use of fake fur to produce grass effects as done by many a railroad modeller.

See here for a link to a description of using this for that purpose.

Hope it helps.

Hi Gary, As stated; the stuff is often used by model railroaders and it is available in craft or fabric stores. All it is is fake fur. There is an article featuring same product in the following publication: "The New Scenery Tips and Techniques" by Model Railroader Books, published by Kalmbach Books. The ISBN number is 0-89024-621-1 I paid 20.00 bucks for it new but you can probably get it @ Amazon cheaper. Also, M.R. books and mags are an excellent source of scenery, weathering, and building construction techniques and it has been around longer than the armor hobby so most of the info is tried and true, good luck, Jim Rosado

Alan! Thanks for that link. Just ordered a swatch bag to eval/play with!
Cheers!

I knew somebody would know the answer that's the great thing about this forum. Thanks for your responses. I believe the Joe fix stuff is it and the fake fur stuff is the basis for homemade. I really appreciate the answers. If you will excuse me I am off in search of some fake fur to experiment with. Who would have ever thought it.

hi gary; im so impressed by that civl war scene; the tress are awesome; do you know how it was done; mine always look such crap

WOW! Yes, that Civil War scene is amazing, and the tut on the fur was mighty nice too. Very clever, never would have thought of it. I just need a land-based subject now...

His name is Ken Osen and he uses twigs and Hudson and Allen laser cut leaves. He owns Hudson and Allen scenic and is the chief sculptor for Britain's toy soldiers. His stuff is always amazing.
