Fortunately not, though I found odd bits of it stuck to me. I've managed not to get grass stuck to the track, bridges or river so far.

RMweb Gold Graham T Posted October 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 3, 2021 The way my layout is progressing, I'd have grass stuck everywhere apart from on the fields. It's made a big improvement to Aston though! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) My thoughts exactly. I've not done an awful lot of modelling today. I have managed to get the stray fibres hoovered up and saved for future use. I've found that you have to be very careful not to let the hoover nozzle touch down, as it has the effect of a lawnmower. I've sealed everything with extra hold hairspray, thoughtfully purchased for me. The random little tufts of grass seem to have worked well. Eeyore's Boggy Patch with darker taller grass around it. I'm going to have fun making the Cracked Willow that stands beside it. Progress has largely been interrupted by the joy of cleaning the oven (Oh boy, do we know how to have a romantic weekend or what?) I jokingly suggested that the quickest solution might be a ,small, controlled, explosion... Miss R quite rightly pointed out - "Where's the fun in that?"
