how do you make good looking green drab canvas?

For canvass I use that paper that new shoes are stuffed with. Its not as soft as toilet paper and not so rigid either as say photcopy paper. Its a bit like tracing paper or blotting paper.

Anyway, this takes whit glue really easy and is easy formed. With some shapes in under it to resemble crates or barrells or whatever makes it even more life like. Wet well with white glue diluted with water and shape. leave to dry and it will become rock hard. Then it can be painted as uual with washes and drybrushing! See example below!

how about canvas on seats ( like a jeep ) what colour is it?

I use a similar approach as PlasticBattle... but i also like to use surgical tape for "rolled" tarps and canvas. The stuff is about as sticky as a 3MPost-It™ Note, so that isn't a problem... but it is just sticky enought to hold it's shape while I'm rolling and folding it. It also has a nice rough texture, that is just perfect for "scale cloth".

Like PB, i use diluted white glue/water in a 1:2 ratio of glue to water, often mixing in my base color with the solution. Then when it dries, i come back and drybrush to pick up the cloth texture, using a lighter OD... usually made by mixing 70% OD + 20% Sand Yellow + 10% offwhite. This is applied to areas that are to show more wear. i complete the rollup by adding plastic straps and buckles or knots.

The same method can be used again. Place the wet shoe paper on the seats and cut with a knife. Shape little wrinkles or even little holes near the seat corners. This should cut easy as the paper is so wet. Remeber where the driver or person would sit should not have many wrinkles. Then paint with a dark tan colour or a lighter green than the vehicle for a visual effect. Ultimately you might want to check your reference for the colour to use. I would go for something different for the visual effect .... but thats me!

For a jeep seat, the Surgical Tape is even BETTER... because of the adhesive property of the tape, you can "seal" the tape to the shape of the plastic seat. Add more brown to the worn areas to show soiling and dirt's effects of soaking into the cloth seat and back area. Also consider adding some tears and rips to the seat, and have a spring or stuffing show through, using cotton or thin wire.

Congratulations Keith for getting your site up and running. Hopefully it all goes well for you. Love to see some pictures of the items in the catalogue! Cheers!

thanks for your advice!

The best to make canvas is Tissue Paper. It´s a kind of paper that have long fibers so it doesn´t desintegrate whith water like the toilet paper.
When the tisue paper is well wet, you fold it to the desire shape and then you apply a mix af water and white glue. When it´s dry then you can airbrush it and then dry brush it.
