I tried this before using cotton fabric and failed. It wrinkled unrealistically and did not take paint the way I wanted.
This time, I used coffee filters and it worked great! I cut the filters into strips about an inch and a half wide, then soaked them in diluted Elmers glue. Once they were infused with glue, I wrapped them across a grid of bailing wire supports I had pinned to the frame of the trukk. Once the glue had dried, I basecoated the cover in dark tan and then highlighted with bleached bone. The addition of a couple of decals completed the look.
I also had to cut some plastic from the side guards to cover the front exits.
