Hi all
Had a lucky accident and found that tote 100% polyester fabric is perfect for this and tie down strips.
The stuff that waterproofs it makes it unfrayerble, you can cut strips and they’re perfect! And this should work for any tank that needs a cloth cover or tie down straps.
I’ve done a vid that shows how to.

Hi!
No thank you for putting up with my channel! I get a bit worried it’s a bit too much!
Have a great Saturday

We use sheet at work which are flame retardant polyester made by a company called Temir, which are also very resistant to fraying. About £10 for a single sheet.

Even the texture looks on scale!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!

Re: Canvas gun mantlet cover from tote umbrella fabric T-72/90
Thanks fellas, shear luck, I’m going to take it up a fabric shop and see if they can get it in different colours.
Sorry Mr Bix! But it can be done by just removing the turret, but taking the mantlet off is so much better, you can stick it to the inside of the mantlet and you don’t need to be carful with the size and cutting.
Going to see if I can come up with one for the haya cent!
Hope your very well, and your t-90 and 72 look fantastic Mr Bix!

What a big-brained idea, the umbrella fabric is perfect for scale canvas! Thanks for the video too, you've got another subscriber.
