Historifigs makes some. Don't know if they're in the online catalog, but drop Mike an email. I've got some and thy are very useful. |

I've made them in 15mm and 6mm scales using cereal box cardboard. They are super easy to do and you can make dozens of them in thirty minutes or less. In 6mm scale, you can just paint the cardboard off-white and wash it with an ink. In larger scales (15mm and maybe 10mm?), you can use watered down craft glue and toilet paper to texture the cardboard to look like canvas. It's for a different project (building a 15mm fortress), but you can see the tissue texturing process here: link |

I just wish Jerry's Hobby Junction (link above) would mail to Europe! |

You could always get a friend in the U.S. to mail them too you. Maybe do a big order and have someone stuff them in a fixed rate Global Priority USPS mailbox to save on shipping (at least when spread out over a large order)? Make sure to mark them surplus used game pieces to avoid import duties…. |

CATenWolde: We stock this line for some of the shows we attend. I have a lot of the Jerry's Hobby Junction line currently in stock (only a few holes right now in inventory). We do ship to Europe. Sorry, this line is not currently shown on our website (will be when we get our new site up). Email me at dkline1863@aol.com if I can help. Doug

Musket miniatures has excellent tents:
musketminiatures.com …and GHQ has a large tent in its ACW line. Microtrains has released a silbey tent in its ACW accessory line to go along with their trains. Note these are American N scale 1/160. Best,

"pup" tents are period incorrect. Dog tent is the civil war popular name. Although, the proper name is shelter half. It looks like a pup tent, but rarely if every had end pieces. However, for the most part, dog tents are post Shiloh. What you want are flys, wall tents and Sibley tents. a drawing of the actual tents at Shiloh (bottom of page): link |
