Bennett RR: "How We" Series: Model a Grassy Field

This is the second video in our "How We" series- we won't call it "How To", as it is simply the method we used for this task. Many other methods and options are available. We will show actual hands on work so you can see exactly what we did. Thus the videos may not be cinematic works of art, and may be a bit long and tedious depending on the task!

This LONG (2 hours!!) video shows the making of a small grassy field. This was done somewhat as a self-test. I had a couple scrap pieces of teddy bear fur and decided to see if they could be used. So I grabbed the camera, glued them down, and went to work!

Here are the main materials used for this field:

-Left over "test" pieces of teddy bear fur, from when the larger TBF field was done
-Vallejo #26.218 "Dark Earth" Acylic Earth Texture
-Monster Model Works "Diorama Dirt", sifted into Fine and Super Fine grades
-Scenic Express SE0403, "Fine Natural Soil & Dirt"
-Woodland Scenics #1344 "Burnt Grass"
-Woodland Scenics #1342 "Earth Fine Turf"
Railroad "Dirt" accumulated from along the real RR!
-Silflor #713-23 Late Summer Cattle Pasture (scrap pieces)
-Silflor #711-23 4mm Late Summer Lawn (scrap pieces)
-Heki #1686 CelluLeaf, medium green
-Heki #1690 CelluLeaf, leaf litter
-Treemendous "Fine Oak Scatter"
-Treemendous "Fine Pine Scatter"
-Heki #1855 Wild Grass Fiber XL, Meadow Green
-Heki #1858 Wild Grass Fiber XL, Mountain Meadow
-Polak #5976 flowers, white
-Polak #5985 flowers, white-violet
-Heki Flor #1551, medium green
-Polak #9104 Low Bushes, medium green
-Polak #9224 High Bushes, medium green
-Polak #5908 Wild Bushes, Brombeeren (for weeds)
-Silflor #200-13 Filigee Bushes (many other choices available)

Getting the Polak, Treemendous and Silflor Filigee Bushes is more difficult, but I like these products. I ordered the Polak items from a shop in Germany, Treemendous items from their online shop and Scenic Express special ordered the Filigree Bushes for me from MiniNatur in Germany.
