hi folks

this is my plan for my dio, nothing fancy, i just want to put grass as many as i can, so far i've done this :


as you can see the grass still long, i will cut it after i pour the plaster
and im just wondering what do you uslually do when you want to put some more grass after you pour a plaster ? do you make another holes ? or ant technique that can make it better?
comments are always welcome, thks guys

Ciao Ricky,
I like it so far, but your pictures come out like mine. Poor and out of focus. :-) Hey, we're modelers, not photographers. I like your dio and the vegetation looks really great. You can buy the grass that your sprinkle on (static grass, I think, because the static makes it stand on end.) I don't care for it. The easiest is to buy cheap paint brushes with the horse hair bristles and just drill holes and insert. Then you can trim and paint as you wish. I bet it will look great!!
Ciao for now
Rob

After pouring the plaster you can easily add some grass. If you want some long grass drill some holes and glue your grass look like thing in the hole using white glue. If you need some short grass it's easier, add some static grass.

achtung, looks like a nice dio so far. for grass, i usually make a mix of the static grass and the turf grass. that usually yields satisfactory results for me. i like that vegetation a lot! what do you use?
