Just remembered the author's

Just remembered the author's name, Luke Towan.  I know he has you tube videos but I was looking for a printable article of his static grass applicator.

You can visit his website

You can visit his website here: http://www.bouldercreekrailroad.com/ where he has some written tutorials. I took a quick look and all I could find on the static grass applicator were 2 videos that he has.

Perhaps this article?

Check page 93.

Thanks Guys, I think that

Thanks Guys, I think that covers it.

Kevin Rowbotham did a great article in the March/April 2010 MRH on how to make three different static grass applicators including a 110 volt one.

Kevin's article

Nice work Kevin!

Louie & Bill

Is my post visible here?  

You both pointed to exactly the same thing I linked to a month ago.  It's okay if you didn't see it, just wondering because it was missed twice...  

Dave...

AWK! Sorry about that! you're post is visible, I just missed that it was referencing the same article as Louie's post. I didn't visit your link and with no other context, I assumed you were referencing a BoulderCreek article.

Since Louie hadn't posted an actual link to Kevin's, I posted one.

Be assured, you are not invisible Dave.

Ha!

Thanks Bill.

ha on me...

Dave,  I missed it too- no excuses- just getting old.

No worries

I was wondering is all - it happened with an Arduino post I made a few days ago as well.  

Aww Shucks...

Bill, Herman, etal;

I'm humbled by your kind words.

I had a lot of fun authoring that article, my first ever, but I couldn't have done it without the help of others including Joe Fugate and the MRH team.

Since the article was published I've seen many clever designs posted here on the forum.  The most elegant one used a modified flashlight body and was rechargeable, as I recall.  Very cool!

My son and I took the 12V and 120V models to the Thunder Creek MRRC show that year and did an informal 'clinic' on static grass in conjunction with promoting MRH.  We let anyone who wanted to try applying static grass have a go at it and we were very well received by the crowds.  I'd like to do something similar again some day.

Anyway, it just goes to show you that pretty well anyone can write an article for MRH.  Just find a topic people are interested in and take lots of good pictures!

Good luck with your build Herman!

Regards,
