I would like to know is static grass just for 1/35th scale and larger dioramas? Can static grass be used in the same way but in 1/72nd scale or will the static grass be to large? If os, whay do you recommend?

the woodland scenic stuff I have called Static Grass would be to large (IMHO) for 1/72. I might try it with 1/48 but for my tastes it's to big for 1/72. I know RR shops have different stuff for the really small stuff.
Well - if tall grass is the goal then you'll be fine.

This has been discussed here before, but it depends what you're looking to accomplish. I used normal/regular/everyday/run of the mill static grass for a little 1/285th scale subject that I did awhile back. I know that at least one guy here, one guy outside this DG and a girl in Belgium liked it.

My link didn't work, select afv post 1945, theres a lot on there and for resin it priced reasonably cheap.

Martin,
Cheers for the link, I used to ride in these things and some of my mates still do!!
I agree that £64 is good for a resin kit, but it will have to wait for a month or two and see what santa brings me!! That or save some overtime cash
These things have been driving around Europe since the 1960's so why have they never been done in plastic??

Thanks again

Sam
