Hi All,

for this I use 'endless' cigarette paper, you have couple of meters on a roll (eg brand Rips), prefer it against tissue as has no pattern, which might be too rough with tissues even in 1/35 and holds wrinkles. The width is the only problem, it's about 5cm, so for wider things have to glue more strips together, but it's very fine, thin and strong paper. Usually prepaint it (sometimes also wrinkle it), set the thickness by gluing it on tissue or other paper, fold the sides back, so tissue is not visible from the side and roll it. If want to use not folded can be just doubled for accurate thickness or just 'pack' tissue in the wished size and thickness. Can be hardened as tissue, water based glues or few layer of paints etc. Also great for all kind of covers, towels, rugs and textile.

Hope you can use for sg :)
Dennis
