He is our own James_Lee and does 3d CAD design and printing on demand. I don’t believe he is connected to Hobby Link at all though.
Don’t know of any articles, but it is pretty easy to do with tissue paper and Elmer’s white glue. Use the type of tissue paper you use for wrapping shirts in a box as a present. Fold it how you want it and dilute the white glue with water to a consistency a little thicker than whole milk. Gently brush the glue all over the tissue and let it dry. Once dry it is stiff and in the shape you want, then paint it like any other plastic or resin tarp. It gives a bit of texture as well.
You can use the same technique to make rolled up tarps, tanker’s rolls, and bedrolls too.
Old school modeling and still comes out looking great.
