Welcome to the forums.

I'm with stik on that.  he foil is best because you can pose it in very natural position and it stays there.

I save the thick foil off of wine bottles and use that stuff for slings and straps and such. I cut it into nice long thin strips with a sharp pair of scissors and paint that stuff in the various colors that I use, green, brown, tan, etc. then when I need some, I cut off a strip in the appropriate length and color needed and attach w/CA glue. I am sure that there are plenty more methods around to replicate such stuff...

My  worth.  I use regular masking tape cut into fine strips for seat belts on planes.  I'm sure rifle slings could be done the same way buy cutting the tape to size on a sheet of glass with a new #11 blade.  Before removing the tape from the glass, paint the tape the color you need.  Carefully lift up on the tape with the tip of the #11 and mount the tape in place.  Hope that this helps.

Welcome to the Forum.

Haven't done 1/35 in years, but I'd think you could use strips cut from aluminum foil or tape or similar material.
