Taxidermy Supplies

1) Grasses. Hayfield Any offers a variety of herbs, which, in seeds, dry well and easy to dye, but dull colors should be used, and most grasses, in fact, it is better use of color. Many coarse grass (not the seed stems) grow near the sea and in waste places, in tufts, and most of these wells dry and can be easily colored. Guest stems weed seeds can be collected in late fall, and take color well, but the seed must be removed. oil colors used for all ferns, grasses, etc. There are a number of artificial solutions, which today looks very authentic.
Grass imitating estimated: This substance is 1m square sheets and is cut to fit and glued. It has the feel of coarse fir. This substance is not cheap, but you can cover a large area quickly without mess. It is also more resistant than the use of dispersions.
Scatterings: They come in all shapes sizes and colors, including grass. First, you Spread glue on the area you want to cover. Use lots of glue that kind of thing often falls out if you do not. Then distribute the broadcasts on the glue. It's a good idea to use a sieve to control the amount you use and / or brush to move in all the gaps. Neither is essential but are useful. Once dried use a clean shovel and a brush to collect all broadcasts lose so they can be reused. Do not use a vacuum cleaner because it can take a lot of pasted material. It is my advice to paint the board under the dispersion of the desired color and any decline because of wear will not show through. Another option is to use carpet mats jute (the lower part of the oldest carpets will do) you cajole small tufts and fibers or paint off as a dull brown to an effect of grass dried. This is particularly good for grass rough.
Static Grass: If you want 3D grass effect, use static grass, it's simple and effective. The grass is in the form of tiny fibers in various lengths and colors. The single pump with a * bottle you apply it to the pure PVA, it becomes charged with static electricity and is on the end, which gives the 3D effect, the procedure is as follows:
a) Work on an area of approximately 300 mm square at a time. Paint the area you want an appropriate sub-grass color, a mixture of green and brown is the best.
b) Sieve number of grass fibers to remove any lumps and fill the bottle pump halfway up (do not fill in the beginning because it becomes a mass well grouped and not come out).
c) Apply a layer of PVA glue to the area you want the grass, make sure the area is completely covered, but do not worry about the strange blob that just adds texture
d) Hold the pump bottle of 100-150mm of the surface begin to blow gently. Building the grass slowly around the work area, blowing from different angles.
e) As you go along to the bottle, shaking gently occasionally to loosen clumps.
f) Strengthening the grass to the thickness you want, do not worry if the glue still showing through, it dries transparent and you will not see it.
g) From time to blow gently on the grass to loosen any particles parasites, and verify your coverage. Some recommend placing a vacuum cleaner with a cloth on the nozzle to the region to lift the particles a little, but do not suck at all!
h) Once dry (best to be patient leave a few hours) suck or blow excess.
i) This is the basic principle. The herb is available in several colors and lengths. It is best to experiment before you start on the real scene. A good technique is to set the long grass and then put in more grass. Any bald patch.
