best material to use for US WWII trucks tarpaulins.
im not sure of the correct wording,i know what i would say,but i dont know if its the correct term...
im wanting to have something to make the coverings over the truck bed hoops(again not sure on the word(s) ),back in the 80s when i wanted to cover seats or the hard plastic covers,id use the tissue paper (like kleenex) soaked in diluted white glue method,but i never liked it.i want to do my own version of a CCKW mounted field kitchen.on those trucks,they raised the height of the support hoops,put the wooden slat seats on the outside of the truck,which then folded down to use as food serving platforms.
back to the covers,in hot weather they rolled up the sides ,and also sometimes used the side part that would roll up,for an awning,similar to an RV awning,attached just below where the supports bend to go to the opposite side of the bed,and then it came out to make the awning,supported by uprights and guide wires.
im asking for some suggestions for the material to use,im also using the CCKW from Italeri,with the open cab,and open hood sides,with the edwardo accessory pack,and maybe the one from Italeri themselves.i then need a utility trailer to be pulled behind the CCKW (will be parked in the scene).
