Other than the well clipped lawn effect, it is a perfect colour and texture. I have just bought three 2m X2.4m chunks of 2mm thick felt in lurid "monitor"colours. The lime green and beige are going to get dilute acrylic stains using a spray bottle and I am planning to texture the medum blue the same way, but with a different method.

In my diminuitive scales, felt gives enough texture for grassland and it is easy to push bases across it, which is important if I don't want to wear the falsie all day.

I have a FoW mat & a Cigar Box mat as well. They're excellent products but far too dear for me to consider buying the necessary extras (2) to cover the whole table. The GW ones are a bit Bowling Green in appearance but hard wearing, wrinkle-resistant and I own them.

One way of compromising the bowling green look is to dump other things on them, like wheatfields, ploughed fields, etc. For your scale, the texture is brilliant.

The GW mats are really good. Shame you can’t get them now, I have a large bag of clump foliage that I like to scatter lightly over bowling green surfaces to break them up

Is that why you're often seen fleeing from enraged mobs of elderly bowlers?

I’ve recently started doing the same. Makes a huge difference
