and layout the tissue over them, then spray with a *water, White glue,
mix and let dry. I should then be able to carefully separate the "canvass" from the frames, solder the frames in place, and re-attach the canvass. The white glue ( or carpenter's glue ) should make the tissue stiff enough to be "gently handled".
My first attempt at this, was for the "Lindy L", a modified Athearn boat:

Thats great idea and looks good on the "Lindy L",
but I think, me + tissue paper + white glue = soggy mess. :cry:

Ahhh, yes, the "Soggy Mess" :o That was a major part of "that" learning curve.
Like any other thing, done for the first time, there are always "mistakes" AKA "Soggy Messes".
signature line 1 applies - - - - - - and there were a lot of mistakes made on "that" learning curve.

I will have to investigate alternate options, like, modeling "PVC canvass". I didn't catch that in the original photos.... :oops:
