Hey Jeff, welcome to Armorama. Well a stretcher in 1/35 will messure 2 3/8 long and 3/4 wide. Take two round rods about .040 ( 1.0 mm) for the handles. Then using lead foil, tin foil, tissure paper cut to size then wrap leading edges around handles. Make straps and your set. Heres a few pics
Good luck
