custom mouse pad pitches?

I seem to have lost the bloke what was making custom pitches made on mouse pad material.
Since this October will sadly be the last Mike Kriger tourney, I wanted to get one for a prize.
Anyone help?

Deep-Cut Studios:

I tested one of their prototypes and I really liked it.
They've got a sale on too at the moment (though not sure what postage to the US is like).

Wow these are amazing!
Do they retain their flatness after being rolled?

Chaos Factory do neoprene pitches as well, with separate dugouts:

Me and the missus both have one, they're really nice, durable and yes they do return to flat. I prefer my FF Fields pitches but these are incredibly practical for travel and take up no space in a suitcase.
GW is releasing some as well, but probably not before your tournament.

If you mean the Deep-Cut ones then yes they do. They also go flat after they've been folded (mine was folded in a bag for a fortnight before I realised
).

Anyone up for getting one of these and split the postage? Looks like it's a flat rate for several items or one.

The deep cut ones in the link appear to be PVC not mousemat material

I've got one of the Deepcut ones. They're PVC, but I think the mousemat prototypes that Darkson refers to haven't been put on the website yet. Seem to recall some testers had fed back that the score/turn marker needed relocating, maybe.
My PVC one does the job though. I've got one of their mousemat mats for 40k though, and the difference quality is really obvious.

Yeah Deepcut did a run of them in neoprene but they seem to have been unavailable since.
Personally I think they need to listen to feedback on a few things, score/turn markers, and particularly the scatter templates.
I have no idea but suspect they'll rerelease them when the new edition is released.

Oops! My mistake, I thought they'd have them on there by now.
(And yeah, there were a few feedback points I made to them, but can't fault the quality of the mat itself.)
