Best grass tufts question

[Mat Lambert]

Thanks MalcC - useful to know.

You can make your own grass tufts, which is what I am going to attempt tomorrow following this method

Even made my own static grass applicator which cost me less then a tenner.
Maybe a bit goofy to most, but i'll attempt it anyways.

I made one of these about a year ago and it works pretty well.

Saves spending between £30-£150

Too right......if I remember I spent about £4 all told, £2 for the insect swatter and the same for the tea strainer

JonG - thanks for posting the grass making tip. How did your attempts go?

Rompy - Very nice groundwork. Is the slightly leafy effect part of the grass or did you add that yourself?

The slightly leafy effect was part of the grass from Mini Natur Everything on the base you see is straight out from the pack

Tried it, and can report it works very well.Not going to stop using Mini Natur/Silflor stuff though, this does just give me more variety/options.
6mm Noch Wildgrass is the fave choice at the moment, but will go and try some 2-4mm static grass a little later.
I'll try and take some pics later and show you the results, so far though I am more then happy with how the tufts look.
Used an old roasting tray as it had a lip that I could clip the applicator to and some freezer bags cut up, as I didn't have any cling film.....very simple no mess way of doing tufts...and you can make a loads of em extremely quickly.
