Have you tried 'Model Zone' they sell static grass, but depends on what type your after.
Or try 'Games Workshop they also sell.

If you live in london there is a games-workshop in High-Street kensington and there is also one in Hammersmith (check the games-workshop website for detailes). It is £3 for a medium-small pack of static-grass.

cheers

p.s How good is the Model Zone in Holborn. Does it sell tamiya stuff and diorama stuff. Does it sell x-acto stuff?

Wow has has this happened, one moment I am all in my English, then all of a sudden this strange lang - anyway, I have brougth several grasses and to be honest none of them actually look anything like grass, of lumps of grass, I would love to know where realistic looking grass can be brought, and how this is applied to a 1-72 dio.
