Tufts of grass

Hi Paul,
if you have a static grass tool it's easy. Use some metal shed cover it with plastic wrap or similar, put some points of glue on it and start with the static grass you like ! The glue should not be a fast dry one, so that you can add several layers of grass if you like.
Tip :
1st for long grass types or more layer let it dry up side down
2nd multi layer, first the short green , then the longer dry colors

I threw everything at this one, kind of the way nature does to achieve "biodiversity." I started with turf and some ground foam, then added several varieties of static grass and the long "field grass."



I use one of those low-budget Grass-Tech machines for static grass, and it works just fine.

The final touch for me is to take a pair of scissors to remove extra-long pieces and trim it down where I want a more uniform look. Sometimes I comb my static grass, too, to fluff it up and remove loose pieces.

 

I purchase my tufts. Life is too short for making my own.

Here is a photo of all types of grasses. What you don't see here is the use of a static grass applicator machine. How would this scene look if your grass stood straight up? If I want that look I can go to my local park. I feel more comfortable in this outback scene however. Jim

 

Those are likely premade tufts of static grass. There are multiple brands out there. Scenic Express imports most of them in the states. They are also packaged in different branding for use in Wargaming.
