( I made this DIY Static grass applicator early last year, in preparation for future Terrain building projects, for the gaming table. It is not actually static grass since it doesn't stand on end due to static electricity the way the genuine article does. The fly swatter circuits tend to be 4kV – 6kV, low but does an okay job and will still cost you less then these ion generators.The best solution was to specifically look for high voltage generators, and get one at a specific voltage. It uses a tea or vegetable strainer to disperse the grass. ) Well.
This is a huge improvement over the old school method of manually placing the grass on the model, but the tool itself is somewhat expensive, at least for a decent one.The heart of the device, and probably the only part you’d need to go out and buy especially for this project, is a small 12V negative ion generator.
Would spray adhesive work for the second step. You can do the same thing with one of those flyswatters and a strainer for $5.I also use fly swatter, it cost me £4 and it does great job (and I use really short ‘blades’ of grass for my 1:72 models).The problem i found with most of these build plans is the use of an “ion generator” aside from the added cost simply because its labelled “ion generator” is they come in a wide range of voltages (1kV – 10kV) and most are never actually labelled with the output voltage. And others do it disarmingly easy. It's distributed under the Peco brand so you should be able to get hold of it anywhere.

But I still love dioramas and watching someone skilled in making them.Headquake on YouTube is another one worth earmarking, his scratch built RC cars are amazing.This looks like a fun project, and I’m actually interested in terrain modeling, but I don’t see how it’s a real money saver. 7 So here's a useful thing that I haven't been able to find much information on: making your own static grass! ) hes got a ton of stuff that is extremely photo realistic, and goes through the best practices.

) ) ( 2 I’ve always followed the tried and tested method of putting down a layer of white glue, then using mostly Noch static grass and a Noch Grassmaster, put down a layer of grass. So I’m sure they’ll be with you soon.I wasn’t so keen on the video quality this month as I kept putting my head in the way for all the close ups. 6 ) It is a favorite among clubs in Europe. However i feel you could pop kids in front of them and stimulate their imagination to create.As a kid, I spent hours reading about model railroading. ) It is used to make reeds, and bushes.For static applications, we use a grass made in Czech.
