they work superbly to make fields:

They hold up extremely well as they are very tightly glued (the strips that is) and can take the weight of models/figures without a problem.
As with all scenery the better you treat it the longer it lasts; but you dont need to be exceptionally careful with it as the fibers are so densely packed together.
Check XYZ for better prices:
Depends where in the world you are, postage,exchange rates and any customs.
We're ~25% cheaper than the official UK stockist (over 40% one some items).
Some of our international customers have told us that we're also cheaper than SE as they (SE) charge a lot for postage outside of the USA. I have no first hand experience of this but one customer claimed a $50 USD postal surcharge to Australia.
Given the exchange rate I doubt we'd be cheaper than the USA stores though (to canada)
assuming reasonable postage and no customs fees.
Having said that with all international online purchases it pays to check your postage before you buy; and never buy unless the postage (and any handling or other surcharges) is clearly shown.
