Take a look at this fellow's video, at time mark 13:49, to see his finished project: I used these same mats, with a different approach. I used 2D cardstock wall sections, inserted into the cut slots in the mats, to form a 2.75D Steading of the Hill Giants model ( thread, with photo's, here). I also painted these mats with white latex house paint. I applied blue streaks, and then I sealed it with DM Scotty's glitter glue technique, to make it look like snow and ice fields. I carved up pink insulation foam into modular cavern wall sections, to create a modular system for representing G2: The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl. Anyway, thought I would share his video. I love that he is able to just stick a tree into a slot, on his grassland mats! It is a neat system, overall. It does have its drawbacks, which is why I won't be adopting it for my games, but it's still a great concept... Cheers!

For those wondering, here is a link to the mats from Harbor Freight. These are the mats which cos-play fans use to build their suits of armor from. Inexpensive, and easy to use. Cheers!

I used these for some Mandalorian armor for my son, its pretty forgiving and cheap. IU found some at my local Aldis for $12 pack of 4 2'x'2 tiles.
A cool effect is to slice the pattern or grid into it and lightly hit it with a heat gun or hair dryer, it will widen the cut slightly and allow for some great looks! Check this out
