Rob G Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Splinter mats were kapok filled canvas as far as I know, but I'm not sure how they were secured. Perhaps careful perusal of period photos would supply some clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyreynolds Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks Rob. I'm trying to figure out a way to reproduce them in 1/72. Ley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Gunthwaite Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Milliput: Roll out a piece, using a piece of plastic or whatever on either side to get a uniform thickness and give everything a dose of talc so that it doesn't stick (particularly what you're using to roll out on). Make yourself a template for the size of mat you want and cut around it. Then give it some indentations so that it looks like fabric (as opposed to a hard surface).
