You can go to a decent model shop (if you
still have one near you) or you can go to a modelling supplies website and buy
a pack of veneer sheets for whatever it costs, probably not a lot, but
something, use them to create some scenic masterpiece and spend ages staining,
dry-brushing and weathering it, or . . .
. . . you can check a wood-pile for old,
weathered, de-laminated plywood sheeting, which can make excellent clap-board
buildings, feather-edges fence-panels, split-rail fencing or various defence-works,
or indeed anything wooden you may need in a diorama or as part of war-games
scenery - mine workings, packing cases etc.
And (if it's not too rotted) it can be cut
with scissors as well as a craft-knife, although the older stuff can be a bit
crumbly! Non-crumbly stuff can be washed to get the worst of the lichen or
algae off and once patted-dry can be re-flattened/straightened in a
flower-press.
And it makes excellent fire-lighting
material!
