Static grass is the fastest way to turn a brown base into a meadow. Nylon fibres 2 mm long are sprinkled onto a surface coated with thinned PVA and stand upright once dry – and it is that uprightness which separates grass from moss or scatter. The 2 mm length suits scales from 25 mm upwards, so it covers wargame figures and 1:35 vehicles alike. Summer green is deeper and darker than spring. It is the most useful shade in the range – if you buy only one, buy this, because it reads naturally from June to September and takes over-sprinkling with other shades.

What it is for
- Grass cover on bases and dioramas
- Roadsides, ditches and field margins
- Mixing shades for a more natural result
- Battle boards and larger gaming surfaces
What to pair it with
The other shades in the range are spring, summer, early fall, late fall and dry – two shades mixed always beat one. Taller clumps come from the 2 mm grass tufts, and the groundwork from AK textures.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the grass to stand up?
Coat the surface with thinned PVA, sprinkle the grass from above and tap the base gently from underneath – the vibration stands the fibres up. Anyone doing it often uses a static applicator, but tapping is enough on small areas.
Can the grass be painted once laid?
Yes, with an airbrush and heavily thinned paint. Not with a brush – that lays the fibres flat. Thinned paint sprayed from above unifies the shade and darkens the roots, which reads more naturally.
Why mix shades?
Because real grass is never one colour. Even a rough three-to-one mix of two neighbouring shades turns a surface into something that reads as a meadow rather than a carpet.
