Looks great! What did you use for the fields?

The yellow wheat fields are out-of-the-box model railroad stuff, German (picked it up from a toy store in Munich, a great country for model trains etc). Busch Mini-Wildgras-Teppich 7292 it says on the bottom. It comes in 40×25 cm sheets in various colours. Seems to benefit from some flocking of the edges once you cut it into shape.
Reply– The other fields are scratch built. Basically artists’ cardboard (not sure what it is in english, the 2 mm or so stuff that doesn’t warp as much as normal cardboard. Mount Board?) painted and flocked – some of them have the flock in rows, some are more fallow and have flock scattered. And the raised edges done with green-tinted pumice gel. These are my favourite terrain pieces at the moment, you can plop a lot of them down to represent clear terrain in a rural setting.
– I really need to start doing these fields in a modular way, so that every edge follows some multiple of base width. Since I also play 15 mm with 30 and 40 mm base widths (Naps and Renaissance and BKC/CWC) it seems that 12 cm and 6/18 cm would be fairly ok base module lengths.
