Title: Army tents!?
Post by: Dr. Zombie on 10 January 2014, 01:58:59 PM

My google fu is failing me completely on this one.

Does anyone make large army tents? You know the large MASH type tents. I cannot seem to find anything anywhere.

I imagine that these could easily be made with a wire frame and PVA'd tissue.

these?

cornflake box cardboard for the basic skin, wire for the external posts, inner posts from a thicker tube, paper on the outside covers the wire, but gives the illusion of the internal posts sticking out...

Yes can it really be that no one makes these?

I would rather not start making my own as my workarea is not really set up for DIY terrain builds.

And I might be a bit lazy also..

I have a few, but they're from kid's toy sets, not actual model kits, so you may want to look there. As far as tents go there is manufactures of things like survival tents, or historical ones such as Roman types, but IRC I can't think of any moderish military style ones (I did a search for them a while ago and wound up just buying the toys instead).

I'm having some of these tents made by warbases for my zombie/modern warfare games.

This also might be one of those things you could find made for toy-soldiers...if not for "proper" wargaming figures.  Surely plenty of cheapo plastic "military tents" are available for some brand of toy soldiers.

My tent is 1/48th scale Verlinden Resin but out of production. You might see one on Ebay if your patient.

 I use it for Pulp up to Modern gaming. (I've lifted the photos from a game report).
