The F-86 I'm working on apparently has the seat cushion, such as it is, molded to the pilot figure. Since I'm not using the pilot figure I need to make something to put in the seat bucket for a cushion. The only thing I ran across by searching was to use a tea bag to cover a seat to give it some texture, but I need to make one completely.
It will be about 3/8" square by 1/8" high (haven't actually measured anything yet). I can do that from some scrap styrene, and can even slightly hollow out the middle to give it some "Shape". I don't know hot go to about adding some slight wrinkles to make it look more like a cushion. I don't think scribing them would look right. I thought about using tissue covered with white glue, but I'm not sure how that would work either. Maybe a small block of styrofoam would work better? Anyone done anything along these lines before?
Edit ... I just talked to a guy here at work who used to build a lot of dioramas. He recommended Milliput for it, and I think I'll give that a try since I already have some. If anyone has any other ideas I'm certainly interested though.
