youpey Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Do any kits have a 70s or 80s style camping tent?

Looks like it came with some other things you might find useful, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of what i had in mind. i could probably make it of out cloth, but it would take a long time since i am not much of a sewing expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I've seen it done with tissues soaked in white glue, build the frame from dowels or wire? Looks like a pretty simple shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 You might be able to make something out of thin cloth, cardboard or colored paper. I would think plastic would be too hard to work with and wouldn't look realistic. Cloth would have to be very thin to start, and I can't imagine you could actually stitch something like that in 1/25 scale. You would have to glue it. Or maybe look in the toy aisle at Target or Wal Mart? You'd be surprised what you might find sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) I think some old AMT kit has a squirrel or raccoon or something--check the "Geegaws" thread down in general. Edited June 14, 2021 by Snake45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
