Thanx Panzer_modeler. I sincerely hope so.
The mats are made from thick aluminum foil (30 - 50 µm)
Each mat needs two templates from foil. One is then cut to a slightly smaller size to mimic the seam the mats have at the edges. The smaller foil is then regularly perforated with a hypodermic needle (0,6 mm). I place the foil on a thin cardboard for that. The needle is then pushed through foil and cardboard. This way a semicircular cut is achieved. With this technique I replicate the pattern of the Barracuda-mat. The perforated foil is then turned around and super-glued to the first foil. I use glue only at the edges so that I can bend and tear the perforated part more or less to mimic wear and tear.
I hope I could make myself clear.
So, some more mats to produce.
Work in progress
Cheers Michael
