FAQs
What scale is this Field Grass suitable for?
This Field Grass is versatile and can be used for various model railway scales and diorama projects. The 2 1/2" (6.35 cm) length is best suited for representing taller grasses in most common scales.
How much area does 8g of grass cover?
The coverage depends on how densely you apply it. 8g is typically sufficient for adding detail to several small areas or one medium-sized section of a layout or diorama.
What adhesive should I use?
Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement is recommended. Alternatively, a diluted white craft glue can also be effective. Ensure the adhesive is designed for model making.
Can I mix this grass with other types of model grass?
Yes, mixing Harvest Gold Field Grass with other colors or types of model grass, such as static grass, can create a more varied and realistic landscape.
Is this product suitable for children?
This product is recommended for ages 14 and above. Model making should always be done under adult supervision due to small parts.
How should I store the Field Grass?
Store the Field Grass in its original packaging in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and texture.
What are the dimensions of the grass itself?
Each strand of grass is approximately 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in length.
Troubleshooting
Grass does not adhere well
Ensure you are using an appropriate model scenery adhesive and that it is applied evenly. Check that the adhesive is still wet when applying the grass and allow sufficient drying time.
Grass appears too uniform or unnatural
Mix small amounts of different colors of Woodland Scenics Field Grass or static grass for a more varied and realistic appearance. Vary the density of application.
Grass clumps together when applying
Handle the grass gently. If clumping occurs, try to gently pull the clumps apart with tweezers before applying or use a finer scattering technique.
Color is not as expected
Note that colors may vary slightly. Refer to product images for an approximation, but be aware of potential batch variations. Consider mixing with other colors to achieve the desired shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Gently pick up small clusters of the Harvest Gold Field Grass using tweezers or a modeling tool.
- Press the grass clusters firmly into the adhesive.

Compatibility:
This product is designed to be compatible with most model railway scales (HO, N, O, etc.) and diorama projects. It works well with other Woodland Scenics scenic materials, such as earth colors, trees, and rock molds. Ensure any adhesives used are suitable for your base material (e.g., foam board, plaster, plywood).
Care:
Store the Field Grass in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and integrity. Avoid exposing it to moisture, which can cause clumping. Keep out of reach of young children and pets.
