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.

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

Some pictures of painted zeltbahn's for scale and size purpose and some actual ones in use.
