Re: plastic wood
Try some venneer edging mate, any local cabint maker will hav a sh!t load in stock, Now be very careful wen ya buy this stuff coz it comes in two ways, it either has pre glue on the back, or non pre glue, ya want the non pre glue, then ya just need stainer to get your reqiured color, hope this helps mate........

Re: plastic wood
If you find a railway supplier they some times sell scale timber and this may sound strange but so do doll house shops. To age timber mix white vinegar with a non soapy steelo pad let it sit for a few days just paint it on and the timber will age the more steelo in the vinegar the older the timber will look.
