Canvas over loads

On one of the forums someone suggested aluminum foil for canvas over loads. Aluminum foil doesn't paint well and tissue falls apart. What about painting the tissue onto the aluminum foil?

A quick put together with packing tissue and heavy duty aluminum foil over an HO wagon. The tissue painted to the foil with Kilz2 primer. The "canvas" is made as a rectangular tarp and is draped like a real tarp.
Just a thought

If you use tissue/plain toilet paper, then spray it with water from a plant mister, the tissue goes hard after it has dried & you can paint it. :)

Sorry to be so scattered today but here is a second tarp over the load. The barrel has been moved to the center. Facial tissue was used this time.
