Rocks Grass & Ground Cover

Nature is responsible for many wonderful things and as modellers we strive to recreate what nature does naturally. Here are some tutorials where we attempt to recreate nature.

Home Made Rock Molds

Buying ready made rocks can be quite expensive, even buying commercial rock molds can be expensive however with a bottle of latex rubber you can make your own molds for a fraction of the price. 

Homemade Leaves & Bark

It's not hard to find some old dried up leaves and bark, for most people it's just a matter of going to the backyard however what's not easy to find is a blender that a certain someone will let you use to pulverize some leaves.... 

Flowering Grass Tufts

Using my home made static grass applicator, I made some quick and easy grass tufts and added colored ground foam to them to simulate flowers. The technique is quite effective.

Static Grass Tufts

Using the home made static grass applicator I made in a previous video, I show you how to make hundreds of static grass tufts to completely fill you layout. Very affordable and easy to make.

Future plans:

In the upcoming months I'll be working on a new eBook about getting the most from static grass.
It's only a short 30 page eBook but it will be packed full of tips on using a static grass applicator to get the most out of you scenery!
Once complete this book will be available to purchase or if you become a patron it will be available to read depending on your level of support.
In the mean time, if you want to learn how to build your own static grass applicator and make home made static grass tufts you can check out the tutorial here:

Automation Setup

Iron's “Automation” feature allows you to easily change the video background of the “Iron” page layout and the 3 text elements that lay on top of the video background.

Video Background URL
To change the video background on the "Iron" page layout, add the URL of a video to the input box below. You can use the URL of a video hosted on another server, or upload a video to your Weebly site by going to “Theme>Edit HTML/CSS>ASSETS>Videos”, click the gear icon, and then select “Upload File(s)...” to upload a video from your hard drive (e.g., /files/theme/videos/paint.mp4). The video format must end with “.mp4” and make sure to set the Theme Option "Video" to "Custom" to use your own video.
