Scenic landscape mats
See product listing for individual mat sizes.
For decorating the scenery base. Grass fibres of different colours and sizes are connected to a mat which adapts easily to all kinds of uneven surfaces. Summer meadows, heath landscapes or the transition from forest to field can perfectly be reproduced with this ground mat. The ground cover material can be used as a whole mat or by individual parts. Even very small pieces of this material can create amazing effects like e.g. the edges of paths and fields. The mats are quite open to allow for the "ground" to show through. These mats should be suitable for most gauges.
