So with my cordless Static-Grass Applicator in hand, i am anxious to order static grass.
I am modeling the Western PA area in the summer time (late June/Early July), so the colors used for grass would be significantly different than the Pacific Northwest so the recommendations Joe F. makes in his video would not fit what I am doing. So I would like to ask opinions and suggestions on what color and sizes to use for what I guess coiuld be refered to as field grass (i.e. grass that is not normally mowed). I was thinking of getting 6mm Bulk Summer Static Grass ( http://www.sceneryexpress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SF00632). Perhaps mixed in with some 4mm length, and if there is any longer available somewhere, mix that in too.
What I remember of Western PA, I more remember a canopy of trees, and what little grass was a fairly consistant color. I want to avoid a "salt and pepper" effect look. So I was thinnking of sticking with one color. Or should I add a slightly different shade, like the late summer static grass. For areas that are farther away from creeks and rivers, maybe having a bit of "golden" (i.e. dead") grass patches ) not huge, but not dots either.
I really would like some advice on this as I don't want to waste money on colors and sizes I really don't need, but I want an effective and realistic looking grass fields.
For grass areas in town, that would be mowed, or otherwise well taken care of, I will either use 2mm OR go with the Fake Fur-Silfor solution. Though I'm still having a hard time finding fake-fur at Joann's that matches the silfor I have, but that's for another time and thread.
So as I was saying before, any ideas or thoughts, suggestions, etc, would be most helpful! THANKS!!!

FOLLOW UP RELATED QUESTION:
From what I can tell from the manufacturer's of static grass, it looks like a cup covers about 1 sq ft. Is this what those who have used static grass end up using? So Statis grass costs $10 per square foot?! This can get expensive! Unless I am misunderstanding something. Am I?????
