Tamiya's GMC 6x6
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 29, 2003 11:23 PM
Hi Gang !

I have Tamiya's GMC 6x6 truck ready to be made up.

I am wanting to know to make a Canvas Tarp for the the back of the truck.

Is this possible ???????????

Legends make a canvas cover or you could fashion one with tissue (like the type fancy presents are packed with) and use wire for the bows.

Totally agree with Rob on this one ..... tarped an old Italeri G.M.C. using the tissue paper a number of years ago. Worked great.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Correction to my above post. It is Trakz not Legends that makes the cover and soft top doors. It costs around $22+ and is set #TX002

the tissue paper makes a good tarp for any purpose; coat the paper with white glue, then shape it for what you want the tarp for, you can cover the full bed are just part of it, for a partial tarp cut the tissue paper to cover the full bed then while the glue is still soft roll it back as far as you want; use the hoops that come with the kit to support the tarp
