Found this at a hobby shop in Sarasota. It's by Busch and called "Mini-Wildgra-Teppich." All the info is in German and there's no website, so I'm going to have to research it further. It was only $5.25, and since it was damaged, I got it for 3 bucks. Unfortunately, it was the only one they had. Pretty realistic if you ask me, and not a bad price for something that saves a ton of time.

Wow, that looks very good. I wonder if it can be cut into little sections and used as radmom tufts of weeds, etc . . .

Cool find, Chuck.

I bought some of the same stuff from Noch (I believe they make it for Busch) Except mine was $8! Good find Chuck.

Virgil, yes you can use individual tufts and even cut rows out of it. I used some Floquil paints thinned with lacquer thinner to give it a more random coloring.

Thanks, guys. 8 bucks would be a bit steep for this, but for the quality I'd make it work. Next time I'm down there I'm definitely going to buy more if they restock it. This is one of those kinds of shops that looks like it has inventory cycles of every two decades or so, though, so it may be a while.
