I'm trying to come up with a way to create ground cover that would work for a dio in Russia in the Spring or Fall. Any generic flat, field like area would do.

I was wondering if anyone has good resources/threds that could help me actually create one, or pictures to try to re-create. Thanks a million!

Ciao steve-o
Note: I loved you on "Jackass." Great work!

It really depends on what kind of ground you are looking to create. You can use spakle that is roughed up to simulate ground or mud. You can use model railroad grass for ground cover. You can use baking soda for snow. It just is a matter of experimentation.
Ciao for now

i use spackle sometimes and i have no complaints, for a field, i'd recommend Woodland Scenics: Static grass, works like a charm

I use sanded tile grout. You can get it in a variety of colors. Just add some white glue and water to a nice consistancy, spread, and let it set up for about an hour. At this stage, tire marks, foot prints etc, can be pressed in. Let dry fully, usually about 10-12 hours, sometimes longer. Paint it if you desire, or just add a wash as I do and dry brush to bring out the texture. Another coating of white glue, add some Woodland Scenics grass, and let that dry. Paint if needed. Yada, yada, yada. Just one of many methods for terrain. "Q"

For a flat scene the above posts will cover it. If you want a tall grass field you can use WS tall grass or use old paintbrush bristles cut to length and glued into place.

Other ideas for grass are untwisted hemp twine cut to length.

You can let the 'grass' stand in green (or desired color) paint/thinner wash over night to get color in it before application.

how about both aye!!
the short real easy static grass!
Put the Long dead grass in between!
Say april 1943, almost spring?

both will work together. Just blend it well.
