My go-to guy, Cliff, an old mate, (with occasional bit parts in Car SOS etc) is currently prototyping moulded cushion foams that won't degrade or lose shape with age, when I was over there a couple of weeks ago he showed me a couple of prototypes for 1500 Spitfire he's just done, (which ARE handed) and jolly good they look too! Sure anyone with an ounce of nouse can hack a chunk of foam into shape to do the job, these are a bit more sophisticated than that, but once the die is cast (geddit?) they are fairly cheap to produce as the die can be re-used over and over.
