Trackside Grasses -- Pictures

[Anonymous]

I'm going to share with you what I use for my layout and modular.

The two main things used are raindeer moss, it comes in green, and well as a shade of brown, for different colors, all I do is just paint it, with acrylic paints



For stuff other then the moss, there is this stuff, As a ball or clump it looks rather intimidating, but pull it apart one by one, and you have a long, stalky plant. Just simpley glue them down one at a time, or glue a few together as many plants



Here, on a mountain, is both things used, painted moss, as well as some animals, rock, and telephone poles added



A view from the other side of the mountain, with little wildflowers, as the red 'balls' as well as some elk and deer in the trees



A close up look at the mountain



Overgrown grass on the side of a switch tower



Weeds between a cobblestone road and the tracks, I picked up the shrub, at a drugstore, after Christmas, It was suppose to be a hollybush, I picked off most of the red berrys, only left a few



Scatter them out, leave some spaces, so it doesnt look too crowded



A low shot of between the tracks vegitation



The hobo jungle was one of the first areas that I did, I am looking to go back over it and redo it with more texture and color



All I use to attach it to my layout is wood glue, no sparying ontop, its in the garage, so its subject to more winds then a basement or room layout.

Regards,
Chris.

I really like these pictures and your grass, but what is reindeer grass? Where does it grow? I have never heard of it in the Buckeye State.

Thank you, Tom!

Buckeye, It can be purchased at local craft stores.

Nice, Chris.

Buckeye. They sell bags of it at Michaels. I think people living in Washington State can pick it up out of rain forests. WOnder if anyone's tried Southern moss that hangs on trees.
