Morituri te salutant
Velarium
Initially I bought some nice deep red cotton fabric, however I found that it frayed a lot. I toyed with the idea of using fabric glue to hem around the edges, but figured I was just too lazy to do that.
A trip back to the haberdashery and I found an alternative material that I was reliably informed would fray less.
With that I cut 4 sections of material to fit around as awnings.
2 longer pieces that would be firmly and permanently attached and 2 smaller pieces that I would hide a small wire frame beneath that could be removed to take the Colosseum apart.
Once in place I used the same rattle cans that I had used to paint the base to lightly dust over the red cloth to act as weathering.
