Creating wild grass in Shanty town

Greetings everyone,
Creating a Civil War battlefield / town takes a while to build...detailing it takes a lot longer. The layout is over 30 feet long by approx. 3  feet wide  The following photos shows what it takes to detail less than a 12 inches by 4 inches of space.

The fur is 2 inches wide and 30 inches long


The colors used...3 shades of green and straw yellow


The fur starts out a dark brown


For the walk way all the fur is cut off and painted
two shades of brown

  1. Thanks for the little tuto.
    Maybe I will try that (just have to find fur!)

    If I've understood, it's the paint which permits that the hairs stay in the position?
    A little like hair-gel ?

    (I hope that you don't use furs from protected animals !! ;-) )

  5. It does look simple, when a master works his magic with materials and paint. Beautiful modeling, Capt.
