Some really nice work there Piet! I like how that is coming along.
Made a UMA mine...... i went for the simple trolley version,
The mine it self is from AFV and the lower part is scratch built.... and from that one i made resin copies.
(Not sure i will use them ,but you never can have enough mines)

Did some work on the bridge,
Shame these 38b's didn't come with a camouflage pattern,Plenty of unarmoured bridge versions with camo up north in scandinavia and in the baltic,Schnellboot White was the perfect color for night operations in the channel and North sea.
Trying out what material to use for the canvas dodgers........this is my first attempt ''0.25mm evergreen ''
next will be heavy brown packing paper.

Wow! Very realistic canvas, looks very fresh and crisp.

Something that might work for this could be some tracing paper, it is very thin has little to no grain and is translucent. Airbrush a linen color to both sides and still get some light through it. I found this at an office supply store here in the US. Not sure where you might find it in Europe.
Note that I use it for all kinds of things and also print patterns out on it in my ink jet. Makes it easy to see through when transferring the pattern to plastic stock with a sharp needle.
