Static grass is used in model railroading and miniature wargaming to create realistic looking 'grass' textures. It consists of small threadlike particles charged with static electricity, making it stand up when glued to a surface.
Several companies produce static grass products, including Woodland Scenics, Noch and Aussie Scenics in Australia. Static grass is usually used by applying a layer of glue on the surface, then pouring it on and tipping off the excess. It can also be applied with a shaker, also known as a puffer.
Famous quotes containing the word grass:
“The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
