Many moons ago on a 1/35 scale I used a rubber cut mat you get at an office supply place. The rubber is extremely tough and you can get it in smaller sheets and even sometimes different thickness.

Because I've lost rubber pads for my Mato metal Leo2 tracks, I've replaced those missing pads with two layers of rubber from bicycle interior tubes. I found the thickness to be good enough. Two layers glued together first with rubber cement then cut to shape.

I'm going to replace the rear fender of my Leo2 with the same material but using only 1 layer.

We did a fitted vinyl cover, sheet, then either a disposable or washable pad that goes on top of the Conveyor Belt Rubber. I bought the washable one from the Begetting store online and it tucks under the mattress. The majority of the time if there is an accident I only have to pull off the top pad. Occasionally the fitted vinyl saves the mattress from moisture that missed the top pad. When the kids are little I put a rubber sheet over the vinyl and under the sheet.
