I'm after something unusual - plastic model trellis, preferrably triangular shaped holes, each about 15mm tall.  Anybody have any or know where I can get some?   I am willing to pay P&P downunder.

I thought I might have had some of those trestle bases you used to get with ship models, but no luck I'm afraid. Would that be the type of thing you are after ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Not sure.  Will need to see a picture, Chris.

Have you checked the model railway scenery market Brian? It's the sort of thing I reckon you'd find there, but I must admit I've never actually noticed any previously.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

A google search suggests maybe looking in the 'dollhouse' builder community.
Like this perhaps

And Lego does some trellis shapes.

O.K. I blame my cold but I somehow confused trellis and trestle  :banghead: :banghead: Or more likely didn't read it properly  :-\

Apologies Brian. Having got the brain into gear then yes I'd go with looking at the dolls house builders market.

Something like this?
https://plastruct.com/shop/detail-and-architectural-parts/94893-oil-350/



The smallest is 1/200, but, it's 3.75" (95.3mm) tall X 5/8" (15.9mm) wide, although I suppose you could just cut sections
of it to get what you want and save the leftover bits for other projects.

You could order direct from Plastruct, minimum order is $20USD, looks like cheapest shipping cost to Aus is $22USD for First Class.

Dealers down your way:
MELBOURNE                       JELCORP PTY LTD.

PARRAMATTA                     BERG'S HOBBIES PTY, LTD.

VICTORIA                          K & L MODEL RAILWAYS

Pagely is the distributor.
