USING WOODLAND SCENICS FIELD SYSTEM

1

For the little Yorkshire Dales diorama, I selected 2mm Light Green fibres. The Static King stands on end, which makes it really easy to fill.

2

Spread Static-tac adhesive with a paintbrush. It spreads really easily and its pouring tip makes it eminently suitable for small or large areas alike.

3

Place the Static King’s anchor in the glue. Use the alligator clip to attach the ground wire to the anchor. Switch on the Static King…

4

…and turn it over. From an inch or so above the wet adhesive, gently shake the Static King. The grass fibres should fall vertically into the spread adhesive.

5

With the glue dry, run the Thatch Comb through the fibres. More fibres will stand up, but take care – it is possible to remove all the planted fibres with it if you use it too vigorously.

6

Model-vac is a cordless modelling vacuum that can access small areas. It collects loose static grass that you can empty and save. Use it after the Thatch Comb.

7

Now you can repeat the process to give your scenery some depth. I started with 2mm fibres first, then added 4mm or 7mm fibres on top as required.

To add some colour variety, I applied Spray-tac over the area I wanted to change and sprinkled on some Plant Hues using the Accent Shaker pot.

Something I recommend is giving your landscape a final spray with Spray-tac. This will just fix down any errant fibres that have missed both the comb and the Model-vac.
