Use a metal coat hanger to make the bows that hold it up and then go to a craft store and get some canvas and a sewing needle and thread and make your own.

same as you would any tarp that you roll up and put on a tank ! Coat hangar seems a bit thick ! I have a roll of wire you could use ? think it might me from "Tutu wire the stuff they make ballerina costumes from. It seems more in scale AND very rigid. Can take some pics if you want.

If you do go the way of the tarp...a super easy way I used to do it ....though many have more expensive ways of doing it ....this has been my way for a long long long time wet a paper towel and drape it over the ribbing...let it dry in the sun so it stiffens...take it off the ribbing and spray it with a shaker can ....I used to make complete scenes using this method...great for dioramas and stuff... :D
