Static disillusionment

[goat major]

I’m going to make the mistake of talking about wargaming…

I think I no longer want to use static grass for various reasons it’s messy, often too shiny and has problems of erectness and droopage, like many forum members

So is there good advice out there on tuft heavy basing, nice pics , tutorials , hints tips. Or even other methods ?

I’m not interested in a static electro buzz gun. Not for wargaming anyway . So no need to recommend fhat.

Vlad got me onto these guys yesterday. Some very nice, and very different tuft stuff. He says don’t worry if they say out of stock, they apparently re supply really quickly

Might be able to give you some ideas

Mr Timothy Hall's bases are veritable allotments - flowers, vegetables, pulses and grain - all achieved with generous tufting. I'm sure piccies must be available somewhere nearby.

Ebay is a good source for flowers.

I get most of my tufts from Tajima1 on Ebay. he has a great range and reasonable prices.

Alternatively, if you're going to use a lot then it's perfectly possible to make your own. Baking parchment, static grass, a "strong" PVA glue and a decent static grass applicator are your friends there. (I would previously have recommended WWS applicators but as mine is on the "fritz" right now I won't )

To stop your static from drooping or being shiny you can use sealant and varnish, but not too heavy or it can frost.

However my final word on this is that if you are worrying about static grass droop and slight shine.....then you probably have far too much time on your hands!
