i am building a dockside scene to house some of static boat models but i've run up against a problem of findingwhere to get some of the materials. i have a couple of land rovers that i want to use as working vehicles around a boat yard and want to modify thembut can;t seem to track down anything that looks like checkerplate or corigated roofing or even tiled roofing. i know it exists because i used to use it years sgo when iwas into model railways with my grandsons,but where did i get from .pretty desperate so need your help. i'm aware of plastruct which i use a lot but this is not on thier websitecheers lads,roy mtb

Sounds like you need Slater's embossed plasticard. Have a look here:

Squires stock it too.

This is direct to the manufacturer, don't know if it is any cheaper, but you won't have any trouble of it being out of stock

Got to bottom of the page to select next page. The downloadable pdf files on each page shows it all.

Try model railway shops

[alan colson]

try squires of bognor regis

[Colin Bishop]

Yes, I mentioned Squires in my post. When I was in there just over a week ago they had a very big selection of the embossed plasticard in stock. Prices from £1.75 to £2.99 per sheet depending on the pattern.
