Hi Anthony

it looks impressive in the pictures but what is the actual product is it like a mat of the grass or do you need to glue it to the base in clumps like static grass?

cheers

Hi Keith

It is a fur fabric on a sheet. It really is easy to use. Firstly I trim the fabric to the desired length. You can use either scissors or clippers. I use scissors so as not to get a manicured look. Keep the trimmings and use these as tufts elsewhere. I use a diluted poster paint which I rub into the fabric to give it a base colour. Then I use various other watercolours (browns, greens and yellow) rubbed in pretty much randomly to give a natural look. Next I take various aerosol paints (still haven't got myself an airbrush!) and spray the long tufts of fabric to simulate dry grass heads. When this has all dried get yourself a comb and brush the "grass" to the desired position. Spray it with hairspray to hold it in place. It looks great with sprinkle of coloured scatter to simulate wildflowers.

Cheers
