Pictures of the tent

Yes, It's almost finished. I just have to hem it and add some finishing touches. So, in order to figure out the exact hem, I set the tent up!

Also wandered from the current "discussion" of tents. Are the sides canvas? or just the roof, and is the sort of drapey look of the sides supposed to look like that? or is that because the pictures were pre-hem?

It's all watertreated canvas. I could only get 20 yards of the green and found another 15 yards of the tan. They actually match pretty well since the green has a tan pattern in it.

The drapery look is a mix of both. You can see the "square marquees" in period at http://home.hvc.rr.com/chrisl/siege/siege.html. It's late 16th c but it shows at least a few of the tents.
