Hi chaps,
Know this sounds silly, but at which point does one apply tufts? Prior to or après flock?
ML
I've done it after, but left space for them. To be honest I've never got on that well with them, mainly using them on scenery. I just use normal flock and clump foliage as it works for me.
After.
I was doing ok with them until i got a duff batch where the glue had dried out which was a pain.
Hardly class myself as an expert as far as this question is concerned.....But I would have thought it HAD to be added after..
Only ever used the stuff on 'Jim'.
Someone like Dougie would be the best person to ask, I think
Really about time I painted another figure, I suppose. :'( :'( :'( :'(
Cheers - Phil
I tried using the stuff a few times myself...just cant get it looking right
Deffo after. Actually I use MiniNatur tufts, but similar product I would suppose.

Same stuff, MiniNatur is the company, Silflor is the product I think.

Just used and once I worked out the German instructions, they look cool. Hopefully some photos tomorrow...
Less is more with these babies.
I dont think they look right on 10mm ranges - a bit big for my liking.
I think the shorter ones work just fine for 10mm.

Read up on Falklands flora, some tufts of grass grow to 2m!
Poa flabellata, commonly known as Tussac Grass or just Tussac, is a species of tussock grass native to southern South America and the Falkland Islands. It has been introduced into Scotland as a source of fodder because of its ability to grow in hostile conditions. It grows in dense clumps, usually about 2m high (although they can be much taller), on wet coastal land and is a dominant feature of much of the landscape.
So there you have it.
