Hello!
I'm moving along on my first layout, and i wanted to start putting down grass, turf, gravel roads, and other things. True, my layout is mostly urban, but for the small areas i have grass, what would be the best way to land scape my layout?
I see all sorts of ways to do it. There is static grass, ground foam, and other things. there are different wayt to apply it to. I see some people sprinkle the stuff in paint while it dries, and i've seen other people spray or drip diluted glue over the materials.
What works for you? what looks most realistic? I'm going for some patches of alive and green grass, but then also weedy and semi living grass that you associate with being baked in the sun to long during the summer, with dirt patches showing.
speaking of which, is real dirt effective for modeling dirt?
Thanks for your advice
Chris
