Picture of my attempt at a large tent. But you could make a tent like this with a lift off roof. Tent was not made for 28mm but for GW Inquisitor scale figures.


That's one amazing tent!

Did you use real textile fabric, or is it tissue paper? It resembles the style I want for my 1920s archaeologists (I just need to make one side as a raised flap with a couple of poles to support it - for shadow).
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Argonor - Paper towel and watered down PVA glue. Very simple to do. Just make sure the paper towel isn't to thin because it will just keep breaking. If I done it again I think I would need to try and get the material tighter to look more like a tent.
Argsilverson - Like a lot of my projects I never fully finished painting it. It is supposed to be orange. But it was for a larger scale game and it was meant to be a futuristic tent for a game of inquisitor (GW).
