Any US suggestions where to buy fields and crap that would work for 6mm gaming? I'd rather avoid making it myself but would entertain DIY options as long as it wasn't time consuming :) |

In the past I have used cut up carpet samples:

I made my own. Cut up floor mat for wheat fields, corrugated card mo nted on baseboard and flocked for ploughed fields. I did buy a sheet of railway modellers 'wheat field' years ago, but I've never taken it out of its packet! One day it will replace the cut up floor mat… |

A trip to your local fabric store may give you many options for 6mm crop fields.
Corduroy, perhaps in 2 or 3 different forms, for low row crops, and teddy bear fur for wheat/rye/oats work very well to my experience. I go for brown / tan colors, and they use green spray paint in a sweeping motion to get the tops greened up. I find spraying the larger sheet of fabric before I cut it up eases the job and the mess. Might try 2 or 3 different tones of green -- cheap craft paints work fine, no need for premium hobby exact-match-to-German-RAL-spec, etc. -Mark
