Let's talk about Grass...

I've been playing around with terrain here lately.  I'm a big fan of modular terrain.  I like having plenty of little bits and pieces of terrain to just scatter around and have a constantly changing game board.  I've seen several folks do grass with Teddy Bear fur and I have really been itching to try it.  So I went to the local fabric store and bought a big batch of fabric that I though would be good for a test run.  I cut out some pieces and set to work with my trusty airbrush.

The figures are 15mm Viet Cong to give a feel for the actual size.



This one is meant to be a corner piece of the game table.


The best part about this grass is I'm not allergic to it... and don't have to mow it!

  1. This stuff really looks great, Rocky! You are making a believer out of me. The airbrushed subtle color shifts really look cool.

    1. Thank you Jay. It's different hues are even more visible in person. The lights kind of washed out the colors a bit. Glad you like 'em!

  2. Great idea Rod! Before reading the text, I thought it was "industrial" terrain. Poor Teddy, though... :( Cheers! :D

    1. Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea. But happy with the results anyway. It was painless for the teddy. ;)
