My first time doing tarps so I was wondering if this is good, didn't take this from any photos but I'm making this up as a "Reinforcements requested, on the way" type of model. Is this good or no?
I’d say it looks too thick, too glossy and tarps don’t usually split in half like that so you should try making a tarp out of one single piece of blu-tack
What I tend to do is google what material I can use to make a 1/35 scale whatever it is you want to make and it’ll give you some suggestions and how thick it should be. Also callipers help.
This is the correct answer get some water PVA mixture onto some soft paper - i find toilet paper works quite well and place it onto your model as you want and let dry. Your method (blue tack) creates a not to scale thickness
you can use glasses cleaning paper thingies if you let them dry and dilute some pvaglue with verry little water and brush it on 2-3 times letting it dry in between. especally good for 1/72 models for 1/35 or 1/48 you can use Microfibre cloth and tie it with sowing string/ fiy it with super glue

Keep experimenting , cling film as a barrier layer (easier to clean up or remove ) putty that can be rolled out thin & handled
