Getting tricky with all the printing going digital. An alternative are aluminium drinks cans, which can be sliced open and unrolled for small sheets. Mind your pinkies!

Just watch out for the tins that are steel instead of aluminium, unless you want some real rust on your model.

Go to your local scrapyard as they often buy it off commercial printers. About a metre square,  Nemesis
