Now it can be used with more precision than before.

Here is a link through Scenic Express.

I bought the Noch Grassmaster together with a friend, so half costs for each.

It works fine.



I found for me, that it is good to apply the grass on a uneven surface, if you want to avoid a golf lawn look. In the shown example I used "iceland moss" for the ground.

Also, I used dark green and faded grass fibers together.

 Easy static grass seems to be a lot down to the right tools.

Anyone got any favorite commercial or DIY applicators they've used ?

 Si...in an old Narrow Gauge Down Under, a fellow showed how to make a grass applicator for about $10 (US or AUS) which did what the 'spensive job does! Just don't tell anybody about this!
