Title: Two large tents scratchbuild
Post by: Smokeyrone on 19 May 2021, 07:18:26 PM

for Pacific game, but works for other genres.

Took 20 minutes of hands on work between drying time.

Think they need flaps on the fronts, like a entryway rain shield.

Next is a more accurate Guadalcanal tent in the making

Hi guys, sorry for delay.

Tents are tissue paper, dipped in a 50/50 Pva glue and water mix.   I put said on a paper plates, and gently drag tissue across it, then apply to frame, using a brush to smooth and shape.

If it rips, no worries, just add another piece and “ weld” it on, easy to not or do a seem, depending on your wish
