Bed rolls blankets and tarps

I also use tissue but don't soak in PVA/water until after it is rolled otherwise it can end up a stiky mess.

I roll the bed rolls by folding the edges inside so that the completed roll does not have a zillion edges poking out. I then tie the roll with cotton thread to pull the roll into that puckered shape you usually see. Leave a long piece of thread so you can tie it to an old paint brush or piece of wire that fits across the top of the jar with the PVA/water mix. Then you can dangle the roll in the PVA/water mix for a while.

Then take it out, snip the thread and press onto the model as above, making sure any tie down belts etc are behind the roll so that you can bend these around and connect them later.

I use tissue paper to, works great. as for staps i used some cut masking tape to tie my blankets to a M4. my advice is whatever you do, dont use dental floss

For some larger packs, I make the basic shape from miliput epoxy putty, and then will it is still pliable, proceed as Trevor says above. Gives a good impression of being full of something, and makes it a lot easier form it form where you put it.

For little stuff though

Yup, tissue paper works extremely well. It's easy to work with and looks great when finished.

QUOTE: Originally posted by RAF120 I use tissue paper cut to size soaked in a 50/50 mix of white glue and water then I fold or roll to the way I want it. Place it on the vechical and make it conform to the shape of the vechical. Let it dry and paint and weather. that about covers it.

Great way to make bed rolls.
