Folks - some advice please
I've looked at a lot of terrain build threads but am stuck on one issue.
Basically, I have a bunch of 30 cm sq terrain tiles that have been textured with sand and painted burnt umber then highlighted pale brown. There are also rocks, trees, water and a track, all of which I'm fine with: my issue is with the grassed areas and small bushes.
I have stocked up on the following:
Gamers Grass moss pads (green, mixed sizes)
Gamers Grass tufts (light green, mixed sizes)
Gamers Grass tufts (mixed green, mixed sizes)
Javis static grass (summer mix)
Javis static hairy grass (summer mix)
Javus static hairy grass (autumn mix)
Woodland Scenics coarse turf (yellow grass)
Woodland Scenics coarse turf (light green)
Woodland Scenics coarse turf (burnt grass).
Woodland Scenics clump foliage (light green)
I plan to apply the static grass using an electric static grass applicator but my confusion is how to integrate it with the other growies.
I'm thinking that the grass tufts and clump bushes will go on first, with the static grass added between them. But what about the coarse turf? This is a very finely chopped foam material that, presumably, is just scattered onto PVA over the sand. Would you mix the coarse turf foam in with the static grass fibres, and apply both at the same time (not sure what the static applicator might do to the foam!)? Or do I lay out separate patches of foam and fibre, for different textures in different places?
Also, do I lay out patches of the various colours with blending at the edges or just mix all the colours and then apply it?
Thoughts would be appreciated.
