We are all familiar with static grass as a way to bring realism to a miniature landscape. The theory is wonderfully simple: you give a small fibre an electrical charge and it stands on end. The result is upright grass, adding depth and detail… and all from the same principle as rubbing a balloon over your head makes your hair stand on end!
But what else can you apply this technique to? Snow? Yes, but that’s slightly old hat now. But what about sheep?
WWScenics has been bringing us innovative scenic products for the best part of ten years and what we have here, for me, really pushes the boundaries. Yes, it’s a pack of electrostatic sheep!
