This stuff makes fantastic roads :

It would be a little wide for 1/300th / 6mm, but you could buy the 
standard width stuff and trim half-an-inch off each edge. I'm in the 
process of putting together some 15mm scenery for a demo' game at 
Bifrost next month and I'm using it for all of the roads - stuck to 2mm 
MDF it looks really good. You can also buy unmarked lengths and larger 
areas for squares, open areas etc.
