I already have Rendera tents and they are fine. But I was looking for something a bit bigger like a Generals tent.
Plastic is good, no paper, MDF or laser cut stuff, please.
I don't use those. Any plans for a DIY is good. I can make my own from a plan. |

Why not use tissue paper soaked in diluted Elmers glue draped over a frame? I have done this for wagon coverings and once dry and painted looks very good. Plus it's sturdy and very cheap to do. |

I'm assuming from the above, that you mean in 28mm (and it isn't clear what period) … anyway, Timpo make a cheap plastic 'knight's' tent in 1:32 … it is not particularly big and I've always thought it'd be just as good as big 28mm tent … Phil |

If you use rubber cement instead of white glue, it will feel like canvas and paints up nicely. Try miniatures in plastic. They might have a tent that would work |

If you mean ones like the Ridge tents from Renedera..then make your own.

Check out Toy Soldier Depot. Tents are listed as 1/32nd scale, but will easily work for 28m. link |

I'm looking for 28 mm Marquis type tent. Any sort of plan or drawing would be fine. Something along the lines of what Pauls
Bods did with the Knights tent. |

Something along the lines of what Pauls
Bods did with the Knights tent. This one? linkThe only other one I´ve seen was at Wargames illustrated, strangely, it turned up a couple of weeks after mine, better drawn though.
Copy and Enlarge the one I´ve made (?) and, you can "plasticise" it by drizzling liquid plastic cement over it. I use revell contacta, Goes as hard as a rock.
 or..make the sections out of plastic card |

Not a marquis tent its 19th Century style but it might work. It's 4"x3.5" link |

Paul, No. That's not it. I was comparing your plans for the Knights tent, to what I need (plans) to make the Marquis tent. Thanks, anyway. |

@ Bill…have you got a link to which type of tent you have in mind. I could have a go at making a Plan or A template. |
| Sigwald | 13 Jun 2016 10:02 a.m. PST |
I hope I wasn't misleading as the toy tent I linked to above, sold as an ACW style tent, was actually used in the 18th century if that is what he's after. |
