Are you talking about one of the unauthorized, field applied roofs or sheds on the back of the truck? The doll house stuff could work, arts and craft stores also sell thin wood laminates for inlaying.

Balsa is too "fuzzy", but in craft stores, there are thin sheets of wood about the size of Evergreen Sheet Styrene. I bet that stuff would work.

Those plywood covers were done by unit personnel and the quality depended on who the first sergeant had building it. I believe that PS Magazine (remember Connie & Bonnie?) had the plans for a HMMWV one when the vehicle first came out. Must have been in 1989 or so. Duece and a half build ups were customized to fit the user. Our supply deuce was set up differently from the tool truck or PLL truck.

hobby stores sell those ultra-thin wood strips. They are often balsa, though. You may try those wooden spatulas that the doc uses to keep you tongue down while he peers down your throat ?

Ok, in the train section of the store i work at has scale lumber for the layouts. I cant remember the brand name. Visit the train section. They have different scales and diffeent shapes and sizes. Do believe that they have HO size 2X4's. Check it out, it might be the thing your looking for. On the note about the balsa wood. If you seal it with balsa sealer, you wont get the fuzzies you are all talking about. I used some for the ply wood we would carry for our fox holes and bunkers.

That is what I was thinking too Bob. I forgot about this post though. Anyways here's a sampling of the wood veneers made: Veneers
