Michael has just posted some interesting information on his 1809 blog of a company called Treemendus which produces scenic material of a high quality. TSS produce actual fields asnd in smaller scales you might also consider The Baggage Train who produce very nice looking fields. All can be Googled.

Hi

If you're looking for an Asian themed field, there is Tomytec which does rice fields (about 3 quid for an a4 sheet):-

Maybe something for our Vietnam War gamers.

Hmmm, those look very compatible with hotzmat plowed fields  :-\

Do you happen to have any to compare them with?

Talking about these:

Ah well, i guess they should work together anyway, not all fields and crops are the same after all.



I'm guessing the sherman crews were 'harvesting' some carrots for supper!

Anyone know anything of these products? Their static grass is said to be matt rather than the usual shiny stuff.

They do meadows, flowering fields, and forest floor.
