No. The paper towel tissue is not overly saturated and it folds and bends almost like it was real canvas but without the strengh.


Here are some more updates on the build;

The making of the box supports were made from soft bailing wire. Cut the lengths and hammered the edges flat and formed them into hooks for the top hangers and 90 degrees for the bottom part.

Did the flatting procedures for the foot pegs also.

Notice that I made a handrail around the dash. I omitted to do the build for this, but it is an option I added on.

Did a test fit of the box on the hanger supports. Again, those spoke wheels were too big and had to rescale them.
