            Superb Mike, and I like the grass just as it is.

                Surely a man of you talents Mike could scratch build a simple lawnmower to use? :smiling5: :tongue-out3: :smiling2: :thumb2:

                  Many thanks to you all for your comments and they are most welcome.

                  It is two colours of static grass more green than yellow, well mixed together and then applied over a pva glue, just dropped it in place and then gently tapped down. I then turned the base over and while in the air tapped the bottom of the base to lose some of the loose 'grass'. I then followed up with a 'moss' which is all the dust that you have in the bottom of the container - this fills in all the bald spots. Once the base is complete I then use and old cloth over the vacumn nozzle and remove any excess working about 5mm above the surface. This then lifts the grass to the 'verticle'.
                  Steve Jones,
                  It's not the construction of the mower, but SWMBO keeps falling off the base, just cannot get the staff....
                  Cheers All,
                  Mike.
