Nearly..!! Not quite as deep pile as true shag..

I might have over done it a little but it looks good..

As for the flocking I used, I got it from a recommendation, and it was pretty cheap as well. I just mixed the colours together, ran it through a basic strainer, to mix it all up. Then I applied some white glue and using the strainer, placed some in the strainer and sprinkled it on. I pressed it down with my thumb, hard to get areas used a flat brush, waited for it to dry and knocked the excess off..

I used this guide, http://www.italianhorses.net/Tutoria...g/flocking.htm

This guy knows what he's doing, and his guides are perfect to get going with. Worked for me everytime. Learnt a lot from his guides.
