Help, Need tips to make canvas blast cover/bags for 1/350 Yamato main guns

I tried a trick that I learned from a fine model thread of the CA38 at Ship Model Forum. I kept the kit covers, but built them up with white glue in about three coats, and teased it around a little each time. I thought it looked really good on my own cruiser.

Greetings:

Have you tried the kind of modeling clay that doesn't dry out? I used it on my 1/200 scale Yamato and it worked fine. You can easily shape it and it can also be painted. Barring that perhaps you could use some putty such as milliput?

I am not sure that tissue would work in that scale, if you use some really fine (thin) tissue it may.  If you decide to use that method here is my tutorial, hope it helps.
