Title: Grass Matts & Scenery Materials
Post by: marc_reusser on October 30, 2008, 12:22:35 PM
This link were posted on a German NG Forum......I have not seen or used these matts before, but they look interesting. They also seem to have a nice collection/selection of leaves in scales 1:87 - 1:32

Some interesting stuff there. The laser-cut foliage looks to be a bit cheaper than Kamazukuri. Pity their minimum Paypal order is 100 euro, the first dealer on their list doesn't do exports, the second one that allegedly stocks the 1:35 range returns a server-not-found message and the third only stocks a small part of the range.....  :(

Plus Models make identical looking leaves and are probably easier to get hold of. Try looking out for them at military modelling retailers websites.I have used some of the 1/35th scale leaves on a 1/24th scale diorama and they look right . I think they would be too big for the scale they are intended for .Likewise, though I haven't got any to test this statement, the 1/48th scale leaves would probably suit 1/35th scale better.
  I was thinking of contacting one or two British dealers to see if they would be interested in stocking these products. Not much help to those in the US , but if enough of you pestered someone like Scenic Express then maybe they might start stocking these products.

I've bought PlusModel stuff from Mission Models in the past. Will have to keep looking.
