I am also after some. If you find some let me know where and I will pick it up via work somehow. That's anywhere in Uk-ish.

I have bought some floor boards and cut them down to size to base my hill on. What was you planning to use it for Paul? Basing scenery?

Right... Sorry I didn't reply earlier Vince, was doing a search through Stu's link...
Scenery basing = yes. I have quite a lot of old scenery that needs a bit of TLC, and a lot of stuff ready to become scenery. I am looking at having bases that are 25mm bigger all round than the scenery. So figures are standing at the right height.
I also want to do some unit sized bases to cover with metal sheet stuff for magnets to use as movement trays, but without the usual lip around the trays. I have made a load using 2mm corrugated card which have been fine, but not working quite right for me, do inevitably get a bit bent and so on.
I used to work in a timber yard in Stourbridge and I know the boss there would get me/us some 2mm if I asked, but he may need to buy a pack of 50 or something ridiculous so maybe not.
Anyway, I have got half a sheet of white faced hard board in the garage so I am going to use that first.
Had a look at what Stu has done with the 3mm stuff and that looks great too, so maybe not a problem.
The key for me is having enough scenery base overlap such that figures against the wall or whatever are at the right height, not an extra 3mm lower than they should be etc.

I agree, thought Stu's scenery bases looked an ideal size for what i am going for as well. Stu mentioned getting a big piece and splitting it, i am up for this if if you guys are?

Let me know what sort of sizes you want (and how many) and I'll get some sawn for you.
