Superb item, works very well, cost effective.
9 of 9 found this helpful I was searching for a simple applicator for the Static Grass to use for figures and train layout. A quick search online revealed many choices, and descriptions of how to build your own. I looked closely at this item, and found a review on a model train layout forum.
My considerations were:
Does it work?
Cost?
Could I make one?
How do others compare?
I found that I could make one, but the price of this unit was close to the expenditure I would have to make to build one, and that this design had a tub for the flock.
Other items were very similar, except for the price. Many options cost 3 times the price and upward. In fairness, some high-end designs could prove better for individual needs, but not by much, and this seemed suitable for my purposes.
The review I found on the train site (sorry, I cannot remember which one, just search for Static Grass Applicator) did provide reassurance that this would work. Trusting this review, and with the Ebay guarantee of money back, I bought one.
I used it today and WOW!
It is simple and works. I used it for my figures to add some flock to the bases and it does exactly as it says in the description. I placed a plastic base, with glue dabs on, on a tin lid (some 150 x 150mm) and followed the instructions. Worked perfectly though you do need to be quite close (25 to 75mm above) for it to work well.
The photos show 2 bases, the one on the left is the 1st attempt, where I was further away from the base. For the second I was around 30mm above it. I hope you can see the effect well.
Do read and follow the instructions, I did get a shock when I accidentally touched the tin lid that the base was on, with my finger whilst tapping the tub! A good belt, so keep clear of small hands and remove the batteries EVERY time you stop using it.
In summary;
An excellent bit of kit which works and works well.
It is exceptionally cost effective, though you do need to heed the advice on electric shocks unless seeking a surprise!
I have not tried it for a layout, but for figure bases it is amazing for the price.
I have no hesitation in recommending this to Static Grass flock users.
