Layout Update – Static Grass

I’ve been looking at static grass and will be posting some videos on it shortly but this weekend I grassed a back bit and redid a section I did in the video to make it look a bit greener.

I’ve been using the WWW/Peco Scene grass and ordered the pasture colour that I had only seen online. It was bright blue green. Hmmm.

I used it as an undercoat and wasn’t too happy but when cut with a bit of spring colour grass, it reduces the yellowness which was just making my grass look a little more yellow than I wanted when compared with these photos:

Here’s the layout before I started:

And this is how it looks now:

It’s much greener but where that bottom bright green layer shows through – ouch!  Some touching up needed!

As you can see, I’ve also grassed my trees but I’m not too worried as there is a row of low bushes due to come in front of there.

I then greened up last week’s grass to make it tie in better and hit that bright summer note rather than the yellower grass that was coming through.

Before (towards the right):

After.

That took less than an hour so not too long to do. I’m going to come back next week and see what I think of the colour when I see it cold.  I may then go and redo some more areas and fill in some missing grass.
