Hi folks,
I have put together an article at my blog on how to create grasses for basework.
Take a peek if you will, and leave me any criticisms you may have as I would like to make it as useful as possible!

A very worthy project, however... the cost of the time invested in the project is worth much more than the price of purchasing a container of static grass for less than $10, for more grass than you will ever use, ...so you can share it with your friends. I have been using the same container of static grass for over five years and still have more than enough to last for my foreseeable lifetime...
One of the major advantages of making your own ground covering is that you can cover the bases or the diorama you are making in material from the location you are modeling. In the picture below you will notice patches of brown material within the wooded areas. These patches were made from ground up leaves taken from the actual location to duplicate the color of the bulk of the ground cover in the areas where SpecOps troopers seek cover on the range (Shugart Gordon Live Fire MOUT facility at Fort Polk).
Making the material took hours and hours of work... making this miniature ground cover possibly the most expensive modeling material ever made...?
Great idea, but more expensive (time wise) than you may think... Will
