Have to strike whilst the mojo is flowing fella! 😉

Not quite finished as I need to do a little ground cover around the edge to disguise the bases, and I need to highlight the tips of the grass a bit……but to give an indication, you get this much from half a pack each of the two grasses.

I need to buy more place mats and spray paint before I can make more but this is enough to test the game with me thinks…..

No worries, it’s this stuff you want.



If you can get it in ebay / Amazon great, otherwise ring round the aquarium shops.

That’s brilliant, thanks.

They look spot on 👍

Not waited for the sponge flock to dry, and I’m waiting on some suitable scatter dried grass to arrive to finish….but it works enough for me!




I just need a lot more now!

Since you have some dinosaurs, you need a bunch of raptors to go after those foolish enough to flee into the grass.

That’s the chain grass that goes into the centre of each of the hair grass pieces.   That’s the great thing about Diablo Jon’s solution……it thickens the grass making it a little more realistic and hides the centre holes.  So yes you need that too.

I have enough bits sprayed and a couple of small mat bases to make two small thickets I think….I will take a pic of the assembly if you like?
