Most flocking has a shag look to it. I would try that.

Maybe. I am am saying maybe. An item called "static grass" that diorama people sometimes use could work. It will not be the right color and it may not take paint well I don't know. It does kind of stand up and would give you the depth your looking for. Again I say..... maybe.

That might work. It takes acylics well, that's what I've read on military forums

there used to be velour paper for art projects that has a fuzzy texture to it; Monogram used to include a piece of it as carpet in the Bad Actor variants. it seems kind of short for shag, but there's that option. you might even look at the fabric used for small stuffed animals like beanie babies; they came in dozens of colors and patterns. nobody will mind you skinning a beanie.

If you are talking about 1/24 or 1/25, try the flocking. People use it for upholstery and carpets, but it's way out of scale. If those models were enlarged 24 or 25 times, they'd have shag carpet covering their seats.
