How to make Static Grass look Amazing

Static grass is now a really common scenery material but at Warley I saw a new product - the WWS layering spray - which changed the way I do my static grass. It's distributed under the Peco brand so you should be able to get hold of it anywhere. I've always followed the tried and tested method of putting down a layer of white glue, then using mostly Noch static grass and a Noch Grassmaster, put down a layer of grass. If you want to add another layer then you can try a spray glue, but the normal type leaves small balls of glue, or you can wipe on some more white glue. The WWS method starts with a basing glue which, unlike white glue, doesn't skin over as fast. It then uses an acrylic layering spray which works like a dream. You can add more layers very easily which means you can get a real depth of finish. WWS did send me some trial products such as the layering spray but I have since gone out and bought more of their product because I was so impressed.

Use 2mm basing grass to put down a thick base layer. There is no need to hoover the excess off. Spray on the layering spray. Use 4-6mm grass for another layer. Add more glue with the layering spray. Add 10-12mm grass sparingly.
