I would never of thought to use Squishy up liquid with it or to thin it Down. I’ll definitely have to try thatSi
I use diluted PVA with a few drops of washing up liquid in it to help it flow on the base. This can be brushed or applied via a dropper.
I remember your Jagdpanther (?) with the blown track ( I hope that’s right) and the torn up grass…..looked good if indeed it was your/s and I’m not just loosing my marblesTried different methods for years mate...
Never cracked it really,I'll be looking out for any tips or methods that you'll think of/receive
This is a good point, maybe I shouldn’t look at my lawn for inspiration!If I'm using a static applicator I'll apply neat pva to the surface then sprinkle the grass on top, usually working in random patches rather than a full spread over the whole area, to give a "tufty" look rather than a perfect bowling green.
I paint the base with a earth color then apply it that way you can get a underneath dirt look. When the paint dries the grass should stay. Here’s a example View attachment 492722View attachment 492723View attachment 492724View attachment 492725
Blimey mate, you've got a good memory!!I remember your Jagdpanther (?) with the blown track ( I hope that’s right) and the torn up grass…..looked good if indeed it was your/s and I’m not just loosing my marbles
My attempts are never really convincing. I built myself an applicator thingy and Everything.
Be good to see it againBlimey mate, you've got a good memory!!
Yes, indeed that was my wrecked Jagdpanther,way back then!
It's still one of my favourite builds if I'm honest,thank you for remembering it!
My logic was that thicker glue would hold the grass better, but it seems diluted is the way to go.Dilute PVA here as well. If you are using an applicator don’t forget to put one pole in the glued area so the charge can build up….I usually push a pin into the surface and use a crocodile clip on the wire to attach it.
Evening mate, hope all is well at Race towers?Si, have a look at Luke Towan on UTube.
.
Here he discusses the use of both the PVA and the washing up liquid being added .
All well thank you SiEvening mate, hope all is well at Race towers?
Now this is an extremely handy result as I actually have a pot of modge podge at the back of the cupboard for ages!
Thanks very much for finding that video
Yes if it’s still loose lightly spray it with white glue water mixture that should seal it. I can’t remember the mixture I just mix it to my liking. I used different shades of grasses I like the early spring look so I mix a little dead looking grasses with a little bright to get this look. I also make som bare spots toojust paint to retain it?
