     I used a Readygrass sheet on one of my layouts. Very realistic for a grass mat. Use a rolling pin or whatever to flatten the sheet, otherwise it will turn out all wavy. If you want to create a readygrass hill, place a small piece if it on top of crumbled newspaper. You don't have to use the special "readygrass heat tool", a blowdryer will work just as effectively to mold the desired shape. Also, use various turf colors for accents, as most areas of grass are not just one color. Use a ruler when working with roads. Make sure EVERY bit of grass is off before painting the roads. The "scenic cement" is just white glue and water (I think): fill a quarter of the container with water, a quarter with white glue, and half of it with water. Shake well, spray on where desired to attach all scenery to the grass mat. The woodland scenics website also has how-to videos to watch about the grass mats.
