I can help on Italian standards. The empty sanbag mesures 35x70 cm (this means 1x2 cm in 1/35). Hope this can help...

Thank you :-)

Some time ago I posted a feature about how to make sandbags from Milliput.

If you look in to it that you can find how big the pieces of milliput should be (in 1/35 scale)
