Grass and flowering plants


otterine

Even though I don't have one wall glued onto the foundation, I've been planning the landscaping. :ohyeah: Jo mentioned Heki grass mats, so I did a bit of sleuthing around and finally found a supplier in the U.S.: Scenery Express. I ended up with a number of materials from them, all of which should work very well in 1:12 scale. The first is Savannah TuftGrass by Heki. It's a mat with low and high grasses in variegated coloration. I went with the more dried out, late autumn colors. It's pricey, but the look is spot on in scale for a poorly kept lawn with some overgrown and dying spots in the grass. For a bit of non-grass vegetation, I have the Autumn Tone Goldenrod Weeds 'Silflorettes' by MiniNatur. These come all webbed together, and you cut the stalks off the web to apply individually. These are obviously not in-scale goldenrod stalks for 1:12 scale, but they do look like dried out flowering plants. I think they'll look marvelous scattered in the yard and next to the brick foundation. Just marvelous! :D

Thank you! Be forewarned...you will get lost in the wonder of the Scenery Express website. :D They have "nicer" grass, too...green, plush and uniform.

I have this photo as my laptop wallpaper. My boyfriend did a double take, "Wait, is that your mini house? Is that grass?!!" :lol:
