Diamond checkplate

[Fezwig]

In my challenge to build a scale Harz Kamel, I'm looking for some Diamond check plate for the running boards, see photo below of piko version, does anyone know of any plasticard that matches?

Thanks in advance.

You could try these links, but you'd have to check the size of the diamonds with them.

Another method:

Rough the surface of some Plasticard (a little thinner than you want the finished item. A good adhesive is then required, and stick some 'car body filler reinforcing mesh' to the plasticard. Weight it down well, and leave to dry..
Then spray a liberal coat of 'primer-filler' (spray-putty) to fill any 'voids' between mesh and plasticard. - Not too much!
