Made a tent- any chance it is "period"?

Made this for an upcoming event. I didn't have any particular design in mind, I started just trying to make a cover for a pop up sunshade, and it kind of morphed into this.

In the end, I think it looks cool, but is there any documentation for this kind of style?

Well it looks vaguely like the one's InsaneIrish posted here: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/ ... p?t=119517

(note: not the same, but reminiscent of them. Plus, it looks way better than a standard sunshade).

Nope, that wouldn't be right.

The picture doesn't show it very well. Basically, it is a 10' square on the top with a peaked roof, tapering down on the walls to a 20' square withe the corners cut off so that the footprint is more of an octagon shape.

Either way it looks pretty good.

Looks like a modified version of one of Panther's Regent tents.

Not sure of the shear documentation on that specific shape. But, it is certainly period plausible.
