Tim’s Airfix 1/35 Austin K2/Y Ambulance .

Those mats look like sticks sewn to canvas, so not that easy to make convincingly, I would think … I think the method you suggest should work well enough, but you'll probably need to construct (or find) something to space the sticks out with correctly, else it will be very hard to get them to look right.

I was going to use a piece of brass of the correct thickness and dip it into water to stop it sticking while I place the next stick…..not sure if they will look “refined” enough though…..

Rolling them up will hide a lot of sins The outside bits are the most important to get right, I think.

Just as a last picture……this was all that was left in the box when I completed it……

I can only think that the extra transparencies are for other versions. As it should be I think. If it was Dragon I’d need another box to store the spares that I would probably never use…..
