RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted September 8, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’m sure many of you are aware that War World Scenics manufacture the static grass applicators for Peco as well as their own range of grass Until the end of this month they have a 20% off sale, which I have personally taken advantage of I hope I’ve not broken any forum rules with this post, I'm in no way affiliated with WWS I just thought it would be worth letting those in the market for static grass or a static grass kit to take advantage of the sale as I have done https://www.wwscenics.com/ Chris 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Another satisfied customer here, I made my own using a fly swatter, then purchased a WWS one earlier this year, can really recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted September 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks, I was thinking about getting a small static grass applicator, one now ordered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold young37215 Posted September 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2019 I am considering investing a static grass applicator which makes WWS’s sale interesting. I currently use Woodland Scenics products supplemented by Peco grass tufts. Whilst I need to develop my static grass skills, I am assuming that I can replicate the Peco tufts with an applicator and relevant sized grass? As far as I can see there are 3 main makers of decent sized applicators, WWS, Peco (made by WWS?) and Noch. I can’t find a review on RM Web using the search engine, is anyone aware of a review of each or a compare and contrast of the products? any view or experience would be gratefully received Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The WWS applicator can do tufts fine, I use a piece of greaseproof paper, apply blobs of neat PVA then apply the fibres (4mm & 6mm) using the applicator, leave it all to dry, tip of the excess fibres then peel of the tufts. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold young37215 Posted September 21, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have been researching as much as I can on line about static grass applicators in an effort to decide on whose to buy. I would prefer to buy a British made product but Woodland Scenics have moved to the top of my list because their applicator can be connected to the mains to provide/maintain power whereas WWS apperars battery power only. Price wise WS are similar to everyone else that I have looked at. Given that I have large areas to cover, I am wary about using battery power only and finding that I am constantly having to buy new batteries. Am I right to be concerned about battery usage?

Giles Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have a Greenscenes machine, which is powerful, and I run that off a wall-wart very effectively. (Same as Gordon Gravett uses.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteN92 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) If you sign up for their newsletter you can also get a £5 off cod, weirdly it says that it applies but doesn't seem to change the total in your basket ?
