Only the modeller knows the sort of effect they are looking for.

With grass its horses for courses. If you are buying proprietory the more you pay the better it looks. My personal favourite is Busch. The only issue with sheet grass is where you have to butt edges and this really has to be masked with a stone wall or trees or something, else the effect is lost. I suppose also its not that good when you have contours.

I would look at the alternatives and pick 3 that appear suitable. Give each a try and see which is best for you.

Then negotiate a deal for a largish quantity.

The traditional and cheap sawdust method is the answer for those short on brass.

Happy modelling

By complete coincidence there is a big 2 page article on "static" grass in November's Model Rail. It does look very effective and the conclusion is that Noch static grass users would find it very hard indeed to go back to alternative methods of grass modelling.

They suggest you keep the tools away from the kids. I can see some hair raising experiences if the kids do get their hands on these tools. Think of The Munsters!
