It (they) appear to be wood with some kind of lining inside. So ... is this some sort of soft cradle used to lay a model in without disturbing the fine detail on the side?
Yeah, I built it awhile back. I wanted something that I could set cars/locomotives in to work on and not ruin the details, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay the $$ they wanted for the ones in the hobby shops. Just some 1x2's, 1x1's, and a piece of Luan for the backing. I had some scrap carpet padding and just glued it in there and painted it white so I could see parts easily. I really need to build a bigger one as the longer pieces don't really fit in it.
