Thank you for an honest review of our product. I would like to make 1 point about Bug swots, That is it they are for killing bugs, its nothing to do with how powerful they are, the power is in the wrong place. Look at the size of our hopper, the grass has room to move and the power is at the back of the grass. The bug swots which are meant to kill bugs the power is in the head. totally in the wrong place, the most of the STATIC grass does not get a charge and you loose most of the product. We will be adding step by step videos to show you what you achieve with the Pro Grass a tool made for Static Grass Thank you Beast of War
Oh for fucks sake. Bug zappers don't "run" on 3V. They step up the voltage. Similar to how a stun gun or taser doesn't have a thousands of volts battery in it.
this totally makes me think I can frankenstein a flash light (If I still have it laying around) from when I was in the service with some PVC and a bit of screening. Maybe some day if I find some more spare time. Thanks for the video (and idea as well :) )
the input voltage is irrelevant to determinate how powerful the applicator is. It´s the secondary coil of the transformer what determinates how much of step up you are getting as an output voltage
A fantastic tool from WWS, great because of the variety of mesh heads for different length grasses. Quite possibly the best tool for the price on the market, whoa wait a minute, the price!!! who can afford to pay over £100 for a tool that they may only use now and then? You throw away the zapper bat because it uses 2 x AA 1.5 batteries & underpowered? Well they do have a transformer inside to create up to 1,000 volts. And imagine having one that used 2 x D size batteries, there is one on the market and you can buy 5 of them for the price of the one you are promoting. Certainly a more reasonable option for the modeller on a pension? Can't do the 10mm long grass fibres like the WWS applicator though, but do not dismiss out of hand.
Totally agree. Of course a purpose made device is usually better, but my bug zapper contraption is working fine for me. Even if the voltage would be a problem, holding the sieve closer to the project also helps to increase the volts per meter. That said, I understand they have sponsors and have to endorse these products, but then please just show how well the product works without dismissing a perfectly valid alternative that is just 5% (or even less) of the cost.
I've never used static grass for my gaming table or terrain so I have a couple questions that may seem silly. How does it stand up to wargaming? Do you need to "seal" it with a mixture of pva and water after it's applied to make it more durable or will that make it lay flat? Also the longer static grass would work well with my Vietnam gaming for tall grass so how would it hold up to placing 20mm figures on it, vehicles, choppers, etc.
It stands up by having a static charge, the power should be behind the static grass and have room in a hopper so all the grass stands upright. It depends on the glue you used PVA is fine but not very strong we have a Static Grass Basing glue that is made for static grass and dries within 15 minutes in room temps. We also at the end of this month have a Layering spray, which is pretty hardy. How ever its nylon strands that is electrified to stand up, you put something on it it will go flat. What you could do its spray the area you want long grass, put figures in places then apply the grass, that way you will have ready made places in the grass to place your models in with out squashing the grass down. you can use the Pro Grass on your models, however this is for Terrain, Baseboards battle boards and dioramas, its a professional tool that does not cost a lot, when you your talking about the industrial ones that cost thousands of pounds. We have sold hundreds and is now the fastest selling applicator on the Market. We are launching new How to videos on our website this month so you can see more of the Pro Grass and other products WWS produces
Try blowing up a small rubber balloon. Apply the grass to your glue as shown, Rub the balloon and pass the energized balloon over the static grass. You will be surprised at how well it stands the grass up. A balloon is about ten cents...compared to $45. Unless you are a professional doing yards and yards of fields and such....well, you do the math. \\][//
Stupidly expensive. Why pay 100GBP for something that can be made in a couple of hours by 30USD/24EUR? :p You just need a Negative Ion Generator (15USD), a 9V Battery and another half dozen dollars for the rest of the material.

Nice toy! Probably easier to build from scratch than the zapper version.

Imagine the bugs you could zap with that thing!
nice one but it is more expensive?! You can also use a sifter along with the flockbox ... which seems to be great?

Would like to see
Sound like to see the ten mm
kinda looks like a fleshtorch XD
My dad is friends with the owner of war world
its 99 quid! 99!
Looks like a fleshlight without the flesh....
o.o
