How to make large hay rolls?


Anyone have ideas on how to make the large grass/hay rolls shown in this picture? I am contemplating a diorama for my M1 and this looks like a cool dio idea. But making or buying the grass rolls is what I need some help on.

Try searching under “1:32 Farm Accessories” - there’s a lot out there and you might find something useable.

Even if in hard plastic and moulded, you might be able to accentuate the bale with say, bristles from a shaving brush or domestic paintbrush (as opposed to modelling brushes).

As Boot’s said, there’s lots of 1/32 items out there that would probably work once weathered and tweaked …

Just type in 1/32 Hay bales…

Some are quite realistic. These are resin ones

Bkkinman,

If you wish to make hay rolls yourself,
take a look at Luke Towan’s video tutorial …
‘Realistic Hay Bales - Model Railroad Scenery’.
