For anyone interested in using real leather to use in models as applicable should check out tanned cane toad leather. Quite cheap, beautiful and very thin at 0.04mm thickness and scales down nicely. It is patterned on top but the belly skin is quite smooth. Great for furnishings, rudder assemblies and anywhere else where leather is required. Cane toads are a huge pest in Australia and are harvested for their skins.
