Curtis;

Your project is a large one if I remember correctly, you could use a couple of methods. One is use the rolled "grass" that is available from any well-stocked Train Shop. The other is brush the length of the apron with an earth coloured paint and apply a fine sawdust (check your yellowpages for a carpentry shop you should be able to get as much as you can sweep off the floor for free) Once the sawdust dries give the entire area a few misting coats with various greens.

Cheers;

Gregory

no this is not for the a.t.c. sim. this is going to be a cf-188 (squadron and a or b varient to be decided) on the ramp plus a griffon on the grass behind it.

Seen.... Okay so what I would then suggest is visit the Train modelling section of the local hobby shop and locate the scenery building section. Ask the owner for Woodland Scenics static grass.
