Yeah woodland scenics large bages are huge. Could be a lifetime supply. You may also want to check GaleForce 9
Cheers for the links guys, but I\'ve got fed up of this wip now lol
I\'m not ENTIRELY sure it\'s completely finished, but I\'m gonna give it a rest for now.
And, as I wanted to get it done quickly, I went for the option of simply painting those areas of static grass.
So here it is at the moment
The light areas of tall grass don\'t appear that WHITE IRL, I think that\'s because of the flash.

How soon they forget. I already gave you the link for Antenocitis Workshop earlier in this thread.

Dan, the only thing I\'d add is blackline the concrete at about 20\' squares. Throw some of the flock along the blackline to simulate grass growing out of the joints.
Try a model railroad shop for some more static grasses. You get about a liter for about the same price as a mini bag of GW stuff. and in 20 colors. Woodland Scenics or NOC (I think they are the same company, just EU vs. US)

most terrain (not certain about GW games) is laid out in 1\"=5\' so we\'re talking 4\" grids. (100 mm +/-)
Clix games uses 1.5\"=5\'
so they\'d be at 6\" grids
(Take that back - not sure about the battletech or halo clix)
All I know is that concrete will crack on it\'s own at about 15 to 20 foot centers unless you control it by sawing joints. (the saw marks don\'t stop the cracking, they just ask the concrete to crack there so it looks better).

Well a Marine fig is about an inch tall, and they\'re supposed to be like 3 meters, right?

yeah but they aren\'t in scale with the rest of the range...
@dan nice job mate, looks mint! gonna be a bitch to pack up so you can sell it on ebay mind
Here\'s how I packed the thing in preparation for it going on eBay...
First I hunted for ages to find a big enough box to fit it!
Then I had to check that it would fit inside, and fortunately it JUST fitted snugly!
As can be seen here
The main challenge was protecting the fragile fence, so I decided to make a \"Bridge\" from polystyrene to go straight over it
As they were near the edge of the base, I secured them on one side with tape
I did each side - using small piece of the polystyrene to go over the points of the fence posts
I then taped together several sheets of stiff card to go between them, cutting a hole to allow the fan part to stick out
And then secured the card across the whole piece
