jcb4cxkid Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 has anyone bought the grass from games workshop because i was going to get some but didnt know if it was any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 i have seen it, as they sell very simialr stuff at my local shop, it looks almost like a sheet of sand paper, but green flock on it instead of sand, they do 600 x 600 mm rolls or 1.2 x 600 rolls, looks ok but short/no real fluff to it for 1/32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have used Hanging Basket liner, it comes on a huge roll from your local garden centre, you just roll off what you want and buy it per matre. I also bought it in sheets to cut up to make swaths. Then for chopped silage I bought a big bag of hanging basket moss, left it out in the sun for a day to dry and then stuck it in the food blender to chop it up. Next day, I had fruit cake with moss in it \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
