[quote="Sumpter250"]...I also used that same photo for the stern details, on my tour ship model.
The luxury yacht model I'm finishing up, has some "canvass" details ( smaller, and less difficult to do ) similar to "Diana".
Those will be where I practice some of the methods I might be able to use, to do the overhead canvass.
Sumpter250,
The canvass on Diana is simply truck/trailer PVC canvass:

It has a smooth surface and when new some glossy appereance. Truck bodies with PVC canvass tops are very common here in Europe.

This truck has PVC canvass top and sides. And as to be seen, there are no crinkles and wrinkles at the body sides because it is tensioned. So it is with the canvass of Diana. Medium grey an absolute smooth and straight tensioned.
So i allow me to suggest you, why not make the canvass in this case out of thin styrene sheet?
And if you want to make tho older woven canvass, then the treatement of the styrene sheet surfaces with tissue will work.
If you want to model the typical sagging of canvass, thin styrene sheet can be formed and treatened to look alike.

And my respect for your work you have done with the tour ship.

My respect also for your work on the carferry. Especially for the brassworks.
