There were standard designs for creating four, eight and sixteen man tents from the tent quarter.

20mm Painted WW2 Zeltbahn German Tents.
These metal beauties are from TQD and are supposed to be painted in the 1931 Splittermuster pattern (well my attempt at it anyway), the zeltbahn (tent quarter) was developed in 1931 and could be used as a rain cape, a means of personal camouflage, as a means to construct multi person shelters. In emergencies, it was even prescribed as the basis for a jury rigged flotation device.

ReplyDeleteSweet looking encampment. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSo kewl - useful in many different senarios
ReplyDeleteThat is one pretty versatile tent, and I'm not sure I ever thought I'd say that.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Fran. They look cool.
ReplyDeleteThose practical-minded Deutsche and their kleine Zelte!
ReplyDeleteNice tents, the camo looks really good.
ReplyDeleteLOL did you recover the game?
Really very cool and I sympathize with painting German muster camo's as they are quite difficult and is probably why it takes me forever to paint my FJ's!

ReplyDelete@Brummie: Got the game back at least.
ReplyDelete@Ray:The PS3 is still fecked.

ReplyDeleteSweet, multipurpose tents. The helmet on top is just makes this even more awesome. I could imagine fitting a PaK in there.

ReplyDeleteLovely job as usual Fran.
ReplyDeleteSuprisingly good results for a difficult scheme.
