Static Grass Applicator VALLEJO Grassmatic model 2019104 for static flocking

VALLEJO Grassmatic model 2019104 is a static grass applicator engineered to charge and deposit synthetic fibers and scenic turf onto scale models, dioramas and terrain. The device creates a static field that makes flocking fibers stand upright on glue, producing a natural grass and vegetation effect for model railways, wargaming bases, architectural maquettes and other miniature scenes. It is compatible with a range of static grass types and flocking materials and is supplied under the Vallejo Ammo line as a dedicated tool for scenic finishing.

Advantages

The Grassmatic applicator provides a consistent and controllable static charge that improves adhesion and vertical orientation of fibers compared with manual scattering. Its design allows for even coverage and reduced waste of flocking materials, and it supports different fiber lengths and textures to achieve varied terrain effects. The unit is compact and intended for workshop tabletop use, offering a repeatable method to create realistic ground cover without specialized installation.

Suitable for

• Applying static grass and scenic turf on model railway layouts
• Creating realistic bases for wargaming miniatures
• Finishing dioramas and architectural scale models
• Producing mixed vegetation effects using multiple fiber lengths and colors

When it may not be suitable

The applicator is designed for small-scale and tabletop scenic work; it may not be suitable for very large surfaces or outdoor landscaping tasks. Also, it requires compatible synthetic flocking fibres and an appropriate adhesive—natural fibres or materials not intended for static flocking may not respond to the device's charge as expected.

Key specifications

• Function: static charging and deposition of synthetic flocking fibers
• Compatibility: designed for use with a range of static grass and scenic turf materials
• Intended use: scale models, dioramas, terrain and miniature bases
• Form factor: compact tabletop applicator for workshop use

How to use

Apply an even layer of appropriate adhesive to the target surface and allow tackiness according to the glue manufacturer’s instructions. Hold the Grassmatic applicator over the prepared area and dispense a controlled amount of static grass or flocking material while the unit generates a static field; the fibres will align vertically and embed into the adhesive. Work in small sections for best results and allow the glued area to dry fully before handling. Clean excess loose fibres gently after the adhesive sets.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you plan to use synthetic static grass or flocking materials compatible with static charging.
• Consider the typical surface area you will cover—large projects may require frequent refills or multiple sessions.
• Check that you have suitable adhesives and a stable workspace for tabletop use.
• Verify the desired fiber lengths and colors are available for the scenic effects you want to achieve.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, test the applicator on a small scrap area first to set dispensing distance and quantity. Combine fiber lengths and colors in separate passes to create depth and variation. Store flocking materials in dry conditions and clean the unit according to the manufacturer’s guidance to maintain performance.
