How to Make a Tarp for a 1/24 or 1/25 Scale Model Diorama

[@GregC1953]

Its also a good way to do sleeping bags and other camping items and tents

Thanks for the info, I have never tried that! 👍

You did a great job on the tarp. Used the same process when making covered loads for railroad flat cars back when I was doing railroading.

Thank you very much, I didn’t invent the technique, just found something that worked and wanted to share. Thanks for stopping by 👍

Great idea for making tarps! Never would have thought about tissue! Interesting

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

It works really well, I’m sure there are probably better options, but who doesn’t have tissue in their house? 😆 Cheap and easy option. Thanks for stopping by 👍

Awesome tutorial Mike! Like your technique. I've made a few tarps but never used the spray oil before. Great tip!! And thanks for the shout out. Glad I can help. 👍👍

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Credit where credit is due! I really like the thinner and it has a lot of options. This is a cheap way to make a tarp. Who doesn’t have tissue, acrylic paint and white glue sitting around? 😆 Thanks for stopping by Dan!
