Why this material matters
Ground texture is essential for creating believable miniature environments. Scatter grass adds natural variation and realism, helping transition between track, buildings, and landscape features for a more immersive layout.
How to use it
Apply PVA glue or scenic adhesive to the desired area, then sprinkle the scatter grass evenly across the surface. For best results, layer multiple shades and seal once dry to reduce shedding.
This is a scenic modelling material. It is not a toy.
