Model Making Materials

White tissue paper.

White tissue paper can be used for a variety of tasks including in the creation of light-weight model planes, representing textile elements on architectural models, used to ‘dress’ a 1:25 figure (or larger) & a number of craft applications.

• Size: 500 x 700mm
• Weight: 18gsm
• Pack size: 5 sheets.
• Acid free.
• Also use for: Gift Wrapping, Papercraft, Flower Making, Decorations, Stained Glass, Cut Outs, Picture Making and Collage.

If dressing figures, use fine snips, cut pieces in a similar way to a dressmaking pattern and apply directly to the figure, having dampened the tissue. Damp tissue will drape more realistically. Use PVA adhesive to adhere, as this is water-based. When dry, the tissue can be painted, using a dry-brush technique to emphasise the folds.
