As you can see here I started to do some jungle terrain for my Vietnam games. What I missed so far are areas of Elefant Grass. While searching the web for an idea to represent Elefant grass in 28mm I came across artificial grass for gardens. you can find this as test pieces in gardening shops or online. The sample I got is about 2cm high. I started out to do some test pieces on 25 mm round MDF bases I happened to have available.
I cut of a 2cm wide strip of the grass and cut this up in lots of 2x2cm squares, then I glued
the grass squares to the mdd bases:
I then put some DAS modeling putty round the edges to hide them:
The miniature is a US Marine by Empress for size comparison. I think the grass is high enough.
I then put my usual basing grit on the bases and painted it:
I think they look quite nice for just being test pieces. Here they are together with my other jungle terrain, can you find Charly?

They look great- put down a template to delinate the area they cover and you can just move them about when figures move through the area. I might have to steal your idea….
Cheers,
Pete.

[…] As you can see I added some elefantgrass to the base. These were offcuts of the artificial grass mat I used to do elegant grass with for my jungle terrain, more info here […]
