Vlad- That is some first rate work on the camo so far. Great idea using a circle template.

All this painting going on is making me want to paint something.

I have never used a grass mat so I cant help you there. Lots of stuff out there for sure. I think Ammo sells some.

As far as the Humber or Universal Carrier - build both then you don't have to decide. :lol: Not much help am I :D :D

Great camo Vlad, I really like the look of that. :)

I've used the Model Scene mats before and I believe AMMO also markets grass mats as well. I get my stuff from BNA Models, great service and fast delivery. ;)

Cheers,
Vincent

Cracking work your Vladness - You've really captured the Mickey Mouse Vibe.

The Lifecolor Matt was inspired :D

Not sure if we mean the same thing but you should probably look for model railway products, there is a lot of potentially useful stuff. Well known German brands are Faller and Noch, not sure if they are widely available in the UK though.

Personally I prefer individual grass tufts, but it depends on what look you try to achieve.

Philipp
Both of those brands are available over here, sadly the different vendors use very poor stock images to sell their product :roll:

Cheers Vincent, I have used BNA many times, even though they are the other side of the marble, the service is first class, but model scene are available from the EU so makes more sense should I go down that path.
