I´m not sure this should go here, so if it´s not right then sorry.
I came up with the technique after wasting lot´s of precious grrenstuff and getting in a mess trying to create wafer thin sheets which never really worked

I suppose the technique would work on larger scales, I´ve not tried as of yet.

Smart technique! Can you please post some pictures of the finished figure with a tissue-cloak?

You also write that you drip superglue on the cloak, but in the last picture it looks like you are dripping liquid plasticglue?

Thanks Kjell
I call it super glue..but yeh, it´s pattex liquid glue. The woodglue is more or less there to hold the toiletpaper in place and help form the cloak. The "superglue" is ti cover the very thin areas that are not already covered with the woodglue and to make the paper solid and capable of taking paint later.
I´ve used this technique for mounted figs where the cloak will spill over the horse. As I don´t like painting riders when they are mounted , I can remove them when the glue has dried, a bit of carefull work with a fine blade to release the fig from horse, but when that´s done the cloak is pretty stable, more like resin.
I will paint up the fig and show it at some point but here´s one (far right with a hood) made using the same technique:
