I presume they refer to flocking. I used it on architectural models. You can mix different colors the same as you would with paint. And get very surprising results.
I quicky lair brushed the applied flocking one time with thinned Polly S paint. I had "scale" grass on the lawn of a hospital model. Our company art director and the architects went nuts at the results.

I too enjoyed the video and the beautiful layout with beautiful trains. But would someone explain what "static grass" is. - Earl Henry, Nashville In a message dated 3/31/2012 9:03:10 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: I saw Bob & Brian Jackson’s layout when the convention was in St Louis. It was probably the largest S Scale layout I have ever seen. The basement kept going into a reasonable shop area as well. It is pretty huge! There was some sort of scenery on most of it with much of it in the DONE category. The thing that impressed me was the awesome use of static grass which was pretty much done throughout. I have not done it myself yet but it absolutely convinced me that is the only way to go. Ground up foam looks like ground up foam. There is somewhat of a clash of eras n the layout at the same time. Ironically Brian is the steam maven and Bob like “newer” rolling stock. Definitely worth a visit if you are even close to being in the area.
