TBH I find all the mats a bit lurid in one way or another (Javis, Noch, Gaugemaster etc). However, as mentioned above they can be a good way of covering an area quickly and then using it as 'undercoat' for spreading mixtures of scatter or static grass on top. The area to the front here is Gaugemaster summer mat but then I added lots of small areas of static grass 'the same but different' if that makes sense, to get some shading. rev IMAG0190 800px by Sarah S1ddons, on Flickr
