The Heki 1576 medium green wild grass 6 mm mat has been my primary grass mat for my layout. It really looks great. However, it appears that there is currently a national shortage of this particular mat with everyone backordered I can get one from Germany if I want to pay $77 in postage.
Is there another static grass mat of similar color and length of fiber sold by another company? It may be months for this to be available again. Suggestions? Thanks.
Have you considered just getting or making an applicator and some grass flock and applying it yourself? That would allow you to put grass on any irregular contour with no more effort.
Have you looked at Scenic Express?

They recently moved their operation so there may be some delays/shortages related to that.
Good Luck, Ed
I do have a static applicator and it is very useful for many situations. The Heki grass mats can be pulled very thin and look extremely realistic for wild field grass when placed over glued down dirt.
Scenery Express is where I order most of my scenery supplies. They are great. They are backordered. Other possibly similar products appear backordered too. Almost all of the really useful Martin Welberg products are out of stock too. I think the supply-chain problem is an issue here.
Maybe stuck on one of those many container ships out in the ocean waiting for a bay at the ports?
Gaugemaster has the smaller mats but the big ones are back ordered there too
