Hi everybody guys,
i'm trying to figure out the way to realize a nice and realistic camo net in 1/35 scale, mainly for using on tanks as a detail addition..
Since i'm quite a newcomer in modeling , i think i need some help...
Any suggestion on the right material to use...?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

You can use gause from bandages or cheese-cloth.

This matter have been discussed in several topics so if you make a search on the site you should find several ways of doing them.

Thanks a lot Tuga, i will....

yup i had actually asked this question before too so i know what you're going through. Basically the method i was told was to use bandages, dip it in diluted PVA glue, sprinkle herbs like Basil leaf and paint over it with various shades of green or brown. I have yet to try that but if you have, do let me know how you get along.

Another tip: Stain it brown with tea. Dip it in strong tea for a few minutes, then spread it out on a paper towel to dry. Once it's dry, it stays limp and you can do anything else you want to do to it.

BTW, I tried coffee several times and it just never worked right. Everytime I've used tea, it's been perfect. This from a guy who drinks at least a pot of coffee each day and probably drinks tea 3-4 times each year, usually in Chinese restaurants.

I often use the netting that oragnes are packed in (the soft orange ones) and spray paint them to camo colours... You must have these packages around oranges and manderins in Italy

Hair-net - (cut elastic surround)--pinned out ------over a box(open)coat with pva--sprinkle "confetti"--or "large" dried tea-leaves /herbs ----allow to dry ----air-brush with colours of choise-green -brown-sand --dry an cut to size ......

someone said liquid strarch works well - instead of the white glue

I have been doing mine with gauze bandages and a little bit of Olive Drab paint diluted in thinner (more thinner than paint) just get the thinner to be a really weak olive color, and soak the gauze thoroughly and evenly, then let it dry. I also use alcohol wipes (like the ones they rub on your arm before a shot) to make blankets and rolled up canvas. I just paint that outright, to fill in the aeration holes in the swab.

Love this site for its variety of solutions. Excellent suggestions, some I have tried and other I am going to.
