I started growing this out of idle curiousity really, but it seems to work ( so far ),I just scattered, quite thickly,grass seed in the lid of an old Tupperware sandwich box,don't know yet if it'll scale up to diorama size,'cause cutting it might pose a problem,without hand held sheep shears,beard trimmers etc teeth are to close together I think,grass being thicker than whiskers,just tried my moustach trimmer,no good Regards Joe.

I've checked out E-bay,but they only have electric clippers Tris,and I think the teeth on them would be to narrow,really need sheep shears or hand operated clippers like the ones I used to get my hair cut with when I were a lad I'll also stick something in hints and tips, Regards Joe.

I wasn't kidding with the grass,I've been growing this for about six weeks now,just in the lid of a tupperware ( other plastic containers are available ) sandwich box,let it dry a bit it go's brownish,water it it go's green again,just woner if it could be controlled in a diorama environment ??? Regards Joe.

Fairy nuff,but the grass on my on my carpet needs cutting , and every forager that has ever been produced to date has a maize header,wouldn't you like to see something a bit different,it would be easy enough to convert it to a maize header,or a set of interchangeable headers would be nice Regards Joe.

PLeeeeeeeeeeaase UH,an all crop header,with a maize header and silage as a set,brilliant for convo's Regards Joe.

Here you go pugman,a wee bit expensive for my taste,I would be wanting individual linked moving tracks for that kinda money http://cjmplantmodels.com/catalog/e30c0611-a27c-4f9f-b14d-c3008eb9f79c.aspx Regards Joe.

I wouldn't say it's warped , dished maybe,it just "sags" in the middle, Regards Joe.
