Wrinkled Fabric: While working on a 1/48th SE5a I tried several methods of simulating wrinkled fabric. My ultimate solution was as follows.
Use thick Acrylic paint from a craft shop such as Delta Ceramacoat. This is a craft paint intended for Ceramics. The paint is very thick. Brush on the desired area of the model using about a 1/4 inch brush. Lay the paint on thickly! Use a smaller pointed brush and draw through the thick paint creating valleys and raised ares. You can direct this procedure to create wrinkles in the direction and shape you desire. At the edges smooth the paint to blend into the overall fabric covering. For pictures see Internet Modeler,May 2005, or the Most unique builds etc. thread in this forum. This technique will work for SEs, BE's Fokker DVIIs etc. IHTH,
