Hello! I was just wondering if anybody has had any success with static grass applicators? If so what brand and where did you buy it?

I am looking to buy one so my static grass looks a bit more realistic. Any advice you may have would be much appreciated. Love the site! Thanks!

Hi Shawn,

I have a NOCH Gras Master. Very happy with it.

I used one to apply the grass on this layout modal. Sorry that the quality does not focus on the grass.

You can make one yourself using an electronic fly swatter.

There are many how-to articles if you search via Google.

Here is one such article:

I have made many and they work quite well. They can run off
battery power or run off AC with an adapter.

Not as powerful as the Noch but much cheaper in price.

Cheers,
Joe

I use the GrassTech 1, and really like it. It also is a great budget applicator.
