In an effort to save space and funds, I have been trying to figure out how to more efficiently store my wargaming surface.
I have the grass mat pictured below, which looks lovely, but takes up a lot of space. It doesn't fit in my cupboard when rolled up. I don't have a 1m wide/tall space that is easily accesible so it just sits around in the way. Also, when playing with 1/72 Airfix Cromwells, the tracks get all caught up and hooked in the mat.
When going to the Super Cheap Wargaming group many different things were suggested, one was spray painting patches onto my already existing desert felt.
So I gave it a go. I sprayed a section of my felt to see what it would look like. I was pleased. A few light areas, a few dark areas. I happened to have a green and brown spray. Lovely. I will try it with a game soon.
