Tarps ect.

I visit a sight for tank restoration and they have some interesting modeling articles, this is pretty decent abd I thought I would post a link here.

Website :: Realistic Tarps

The potential for making uniform jackets etc this way appealed too.

Additional article on model photography.

I can't think of anything to use this for at the moment, but I've bookmarked it should I require it in future. Vary interesting and simple method.

I've had luck using the tan paper napkins from Taco Bell to represent canvas in I/48 scale.

I just use the paper from tea bags. Used tea bag, a bit of paint, roll it up!

Mike 1158 wondered if this would work for sails. I think it will, provided you can let it dry on a (large) double curved surface, to which the wet sealed tissue would not adhere.
Would glass do? A carafe or something? Or should you coat it first with some sort of isolator?
Could you make fabric covered wings of pre-war Tiger Moths and the like with this method? Many possibilities, come to think of it.
Thanks, Mike, interesting subject.

Here's a method for making paper sails from one of the guys on Model Ship World. You will probably have to join the Site to see anything, but it's FREE and can't hurt you. There are LOTS of good tips for various things in the site .

Making Paper Sails

I've made sails using Silkspan (aka Modelspan), used to cover balsa airplanes etc. Here's a pic of a similar sail.

Cheers, Danny
