 | I have worked pretty rarely with artificial grass tufts. I started out in the 80s with sand that was painted green and then drybrushed to look like grass. It was cool for it's time, but times change and the evolution of grass tufts and flocking has changed dramatically, mainly due to the rise in scenery modelling for trains and traditional armour kits in 1/35 scale. A few weeks ago I saw a glowing review on a Facebook Group about Gamer's Grass products, and when I went to their site it certainly did look pretty damn good. So I ordered some to try it out and I have to say - it's impressive on a number of counts!f + + More After The Jump + + |
Gamer's Grass offer their grass tufts in a variety of sizes (small, medium, large, mix and wild) and heights (2, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 12mm high).
The size refers how much of the ground it covers and the height I don't need to tell you what that means...

To test their range, I ordered two different types; the 2mm Moss - Wild (above) for low ground cover in Fantasy and the 6mm Mixed Green - Mix (below) which seemed more versatile for Fantasy and Sci-fi.
You can see the Moss - Wild comes in a number of different sizes as if growing randomly.
The Mixed Green - Mix comes in uniform sizes from small to large.
The Mixed Green - Mix comes in uniform sizes from small to large.
As you can see, the colour and texture of the tufts is excellent. The Mixed Green is perfect for a number of environments, and the Moss really does look mossy without looking to yellow or fluorescent which can be a real thing with moss tufts.
Overall the website is very good and the postage from Portugal to me in Australia took less than 2 weeks.
It comes very well packed in a small box separated by bubble wrap to keep the sheets from crushing each other in transit.
The tufts themselves are held very firmly on the sheets and are easily pulled off and stick very well to the surface you want them on. I found that I had to move one along a bit and because it hadn't been pushed into place firmly it was easy to move. Even once in place they can be moved with a bit of force but did not remove the painted surface in my experience.
Another impressive part of Gamer's Grass is the price - they are cheap! Really good value for what you get and with such a variety of sizes and heights you could do a lot without a huge outlay.

I decided to add just a few to my battleboard project and I think they not only fit in but bring this barren landscape some much needed natural features.
Verdict
Gamer's Grass - I can recommend the product and the service and at the price it's worth trying once!
I think you'll be back for more.
