I need to build a small wooden building in 3mm scale for the Flockborough extension board but am too lazy to use individual planks. Getting them neat enough takes ages and it's too easy to create a ramshackle building without meaning to.
So I use a trick first seem (from me) on Melbridge Dock. Taking a sheet of Daler board I score 6 inch wide planks on the surface using the back of a scalpel blade.
A couple of passes are usually enough to idicate a plank without breaking the surface of the card. Result: a surface which has a tiny amount of texture (1/100th of a real texture I hope) but looks neat and tidy.
