• Squirrel moment. I was thinking of making my own tuck n roll interior, isn't there half round stock? What size should I consider using? For a possible project 1/25 truck seat and door cards/panels. My Beretta project...
  • Some times I ask before I think... sorry. Wouldn't 0.08" half round plastic rod be close? Found some by Plastruct. 0.08" is 2mm, which would be a scale 2".
  • I tried doing vertical pleats with half-round strips. I couldn't get the strips to go over the top of the seat back and stay glued. The strips were too thick to bend sharply. Wondering if anyone knows a better way. *NM*
    • Half round is probably overkill. Depending on the shape of the seat, might be better off sanding the seat smooth then file the "pleat" detail in *NM*
  • I've often used sheet styrene model railroad scored building siding in various RR scales with some success (PICS)
    • More examples of RR siding pleats (pics)
  • Here's one I made. *NM* *PIC*
    • Is that half-rounds or something else? Getting them to go over the top of the seat back is where I had trouble. But that's the look I was after. *NM*
      • Half rounds. On the front seat, the bend was too sharp to bend. So the top is a seperate piece. The piping hides the seam. *NM*
        • Thanks! *NM*
  • You can buy it in a sheet... I recently did an interior for the 57 Chevy from Macon County line. and the F?C that follow using the sheet I can't remember where I got it from but with a little search you can find it. *NM*
