New technique for fabric in 1/16 scale
I came up with an idea for making flexible fabric in 1/16 scale, You can vary how "thick and Flexible" you want it.
From air recognition panels to tarps or flags.

Very nice, but i saw something very similar in a Japanese modeling clip from the 90's years ago 
They even sell (in Japan), parchment paper of various thickness and shapes, and of course properly scaled fabrics (they are nuts about model kits in Japan, very impressive).
Thanks for putting a video up!

IT is just craft store acrylic paint. Very thick stuff.
Windex on this stuff works like a decal setting solution. The flag on the back of the T-34 was layed in place and then I sprayed it with windex. It really set down. Too much even. I had to add more layers as it dissoved to the point it almost looked painted on
If you made a tarp like this and then layed it over some ammo crates, and then sprayed windex over it the tarp would settle down nicly over the boxes.. Be careful though. A little windex goes a long way with this.
