I'm guessing this has been asked a billion times, but anyone got idea's for scratchbuilding tarpaulins?

I searched the website but i couldn't find anything useful.
cheers.

Facial tissue, such as Kleenex, not the scented-soft-aloe laced ones, but the good ol' rip your skin off type. Fold and form it, then brush a couple coats of diluted white glue over it, soaking it fully. Once dry, paint and weather and you are done. You can also use this technique for rolled up sleeping bags, tarps, tents, cargo covers, etc.

Good luck.

Cheers Gino, I've tried this out, now just to wait&see what happens.

I'll post pics up when finished.

Check this out Realistic Tarps

cheers

I noticed that article, but it must have been a broken link, 'cause it wouldn't allow me access.

I've already tried Gino's Idea, if that doesn't work i'll try that one, cheers for the link Rick.

The tissue idea just turned to paper mache, And the silicon based tissue didn't work, so i tried my own method, Worked really well.
I'll get pictures and make a tutorial soon.

Good old fashion tissue paper from a new shirt works well.
