I'm thinking of using Silfor static grass (in 1/72) - is it as good as its claimed or is there a better option?
Many thanks

Hi Christopher,

basically all Silflor products are great. The question is, why static grass?? Or do you have an expensive electric "planting" device?

There are special grass mats that could do the trick in no time, and for tiny bits there are the tufts, so...!?

Cheers

Romain

Static grasses from other brands work just as well. They're all made from the same material. Performance depends on your static grass device.

Works fairly well. I made one myself for under $20.
