Jess man if you get the 3mm lawnmower you should be able to cut the grass. Save the clippings and you can double your acreage.
Nice haul.

you'll have to use that on your 1/24 scale kits instead of 1/48.

I don't buy that stuff - I just pull it off the side of the house and off the trees. When my last daughter was in school, she had a project about farmland or something, and said, "Dad, you're a model builder, so you can help me." We bought 1:87 HO farm animals at the "hobbly" shop and using balsa from the scrap box, made feed sheds and such. All trees and bushes were found outside in the yard, growing in miniature. Her project was kept by the teacher as an example.

Nice mate. I do have a small collection of mosses, twigs and stuff from outside too, but these will come in handy for certain jobs.
Cheers guys, btw

One additional idea: My 3/4 inch to 1 foot MiG-15 pilot wears an acorn shell oxygen mask. The part that is left when the acorn is out. It has the oxygen tube because of the stem.

I just leave the dishes and pans hanging around the kitchen for a few days, before cleaning up.That way, I get a complete forest for free, with grass, bushes, weeds, foliage and all sorts, to various scales !!!

I once had a young lady look in my frige and ask, "Why do you keep a tennis ball in your refrigerator?"
Me: "That's not a tennis ball. It's an orange."
Me: "That's not a tennis ball. It's an orange."

Has the screw on nozzle attachments like in your picture there, just 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5mm.
In the picture above the nozzles (copper colour) are of the self-centering type. The other 3 pieces are the nozzle-caps. Yours should be like this (probably):
The nozzle caps could be the same - I don't know.
I asked because I too bought some Chinese airbrushes in the past, under different names but basically the same and found out that there are (where) 2 types of nozzle caps only. The first one is shown above and the second one looks like this:
The nozzles in both cases are the same.
Nowadays even cheaper (or the cheapest) Chinese airbrushes started coming with auto-centering nozzles in different designs.
Some of them have the same old nozzle caps, some not. Names like Sagud, Nasedal, Neoeco, Sidaco (I suspect the more expensive Gaahlery and Fengda too, the latter sold under the name Timbertech) use the same designs or even the same manufacturers in China. Only the quality of their products varies: between worst and best.

I have one "Master" airbrush that is a knockoff of a major brand, works pretty good.In the picture above the nozzles (copper colour) are of the self-centering type. The other 3 pieces are the nozzle-caps. Yours should be like this (probably):

Not sure what model "Master" you have, but here is one:
I have the exact same one under the name VEDA (12+ years old). These are some of the better "brands" and quality is higher than with the "no name" cheap production. In fact I even bought separately needles, nozzles, caps, o-rings etc. from China and they all fit those airbrushes. I have a NEO for Iwata (it's not Iwata!) with the not so common 0.35 nozzle. A single extra nozzle will cost me $35 or so. Guess what: Chinese nozzles and needles match this airbrush as well. I was never unhappy with the latter.

That's it. It's a iwata knockoff but it works just as well and all the iwata kit's work for it. I got an iwata cleaning kit at Hobby Lobby and the tool to pull the nozzle works great.

I have five of the type 22 and five of the type 32. That's enough. For now.
