I may be a bit compulsive trying to get the exact static grass mix

 I’m mixing different single shades trying to get that perfect color mix. I think I may have a mental illness.

You should be contacting a colour mixing expert and get their opinion, I wouldn't rush to a psychiatrist just now

Thought I should mention I’m looking for rich green spring/early summer.

ha ha funny. Yes all this stuff indicates a mental illness of a sort!
Note, when you get the color that you and your psychiatrist agree on, take care not to plant grass that is even half the height of a Preiserling!

Hello 57vert, I think I found out why you're having this conundrum with the grass and I hope that I’m wrong! You're looking for that perfect blend right? Are you also smoking it? Please don't smoke the grass it's the weed that you smoke!

I think membership of this forum is already a convincing indication of mental illness....

Is the origin of your user name 57VERT something to do with 57 shades of Green?

Its been all yellow/brown around here for quite a while [ not shown in your chart ], but the rain has come and its turning green [ no. 1 -1 on your chart ie top left ] but with the brown edges and patches in places.. Different grasses have different colours, and the weeds, well anyones guess. Looks too artificial if you use just one colour or if it looks too even with the different flecks. Just chuck it around and see what happens. Thats what mother nature does.
This reminds me of a picture of a Japanese garden where the young gardener had just raked the sand into a perfect look. He told the old gardener how perfect it looked and the old guy said no. He then rolled a 70 mm stone across it and said thats perfect.

Basically anything for the lawn is available. Along with Faller I have produced an automatic mower which zooms around on its own. Requires a Faller motor which is extra. All layouts deserve this/. Just need your bank details before faxing the unit too you. |
