I actually think the flock you used as the PVA cover up worked well and gave it more colour depth.

[@IDICBeer]

Nice vid, good tip with the grass sprinkling around the tuffs

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** Thanks matey

[@COURAGEnHONOUR]

Looks like good stuff Mel. Like the tip about using the flock around the tuft.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** Cheers buddy

[@WGRevival]

That flock idea is a great one. Thanks Mel

[@TheTerrainTutor]

WGRevival No worries buddy

[@StrongholdCrafterKev]

Thanks for the quick tutorial. Those grass tufts look really good.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Stronghold Crafter Kev Thanks matey, they are pretty :-)

..good video , ..at the moment I'm thinking of changing my basing to grass Tufts as opposed to static , ..and any information is useful , ..I've quite a few packs of Tufts on my shelves but mainly been using static , however due to my change of terrain colour I thought a different method of greening up would be a nice change. !!

[@evilsunzacademy9588]

Literally just about to do this and your video popped up! Cheers Mel, keep it up lad.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Evil Sunz Academy Talk about timing :-)

[@AdrianKramarzyk]

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Adrian Kramarzyk isn't it just ;-)

[@stonegolem17]

I'd recommend tufts by Tajima Miniatures as well, they have a range similar to those in the video as well as flowers and small bushes/shrubs. Based in the UK.

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Louis Britton I'll have to check them out, thanks for the heads up mate

[@MrSepoy1857]

Nice - liking these Gamer's Grass Tufts!

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Scott Dallimore Cheers matey

[@Sang1957]

Like the quick shot of the cork hills. Is that video out yet?

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Sang1957 Hopefully tail end of next week matey

[@TheDiomedef16]

A great tip and a good product...Ian

[@TheTerrainTutor]

TheDiomedef16 Cheers mate

[@chalkboy8]

Sometimes I dry brush a little Vallejo Buff onto the tips of the tufts. It makes it even more organic,

[@TheTerrainTutor]

chalkboy8 Now that's advanced foliaging matey ;-)

[@redshirtmodels5757]

Hey I just checked out gamers grass usa and they are amazing!!! their products are super cool...I hope you are getting something for the referral!

[@TheTerrainTutor]

+Tim Maynard I wish bud lol

[@McManiak353]

Great tip as always buddy

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Martin McNeil Cheers mate

[@unkhter]

nice quick tutorial, some nice tips and tricks, thx :)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

unkhter I rarity for hey lol

[@Terranscapes]

I like the flock sprinkle to blend it in to the surface. Nice touch. I use a hot glue gun and it's just a dab and place. But not too much since it will show, and unlike your pva example, you can't sprinkle flock over it to hide bits. It's nice to see another product on the market. Silflor has really been the only player for tufts. We won't talk about GW's since... well... they're fairly terrible (at least the ones I have seen in person) and shouldn't be considered. The Gamer's Grass folks need to get crackin' on the website. :)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** My hot glue foo isn't that strong matey lol, and yeah, let's not talk about GW's pitiful attempt at grass tufts. Army painter also do some nice ones, you might want to check them out mate.

[@MrSepoy1857]

TheTerrainTutor Tajima in UK (Cornwall I think) do some really nice tufts as well; now doing weeds, strips, and whatcha-call-it moreland like tufts with rocks...really cool. Nice bloke to deal with and very reasonable prices - Very highly recommended! www.tajima1.co.uk/index.asp

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Scott Dallimore Thanks for the heads up mate, I've just ordered some army painter ones but I'll add the site to my list.

[@Terranscapes]

Scott Dallimore Whoah! He is doing some interesting things with his clumps of different pieces together. I haven't seen that before. Very interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@Terranscapes]

TheTerrainTutor I understand the hot glue foo. :) I just stumbled across this video and the idea of using the template was a real innovation. It keeps all the fibers standing up! A must see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3e7mIahrpt9g7c Between this video and the tajima site Scott linked to, I plan on working on my own tufts a lot more going forward. Of course I am already sitting a a thousand+ of pre-mades so they will have their place as well. ;)

[@rossdiggle]

Nice little vid

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Ross Diggle Cheers matey

[@purdiusprime9792]

+Tony Hind Nice mate

[@matrix626]

I would be willing to bet there would be many many people willing to buy that demo piece... or get it as a giveaway..

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** If the base was better I'd consider it but it's really due for a remounting mate

[@DerMartexus]

Very nice stuff and not expensive. But isn't there a DIY solution? ;)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** Of course there is, I just haven't filmed it yet matey lol ;-)

[@DerMartexus]

;) Sounds like another entry for your to-do-list. ;)

[@TheTerrainTutor]

***** It's already two sheets of A4!

[@DerMartexus]

And soo far away to easter holidays. ;)

[@AdrianKramarzyk]

[@TheTerrainTutor]

Adrian Kramarzyk To be honest mate, I've never even used a wet palette lol
