Gauze bandage or cheesecloth work best for camo netting. Spread them out, place on the vehicle, soak in diluted white glue, then paint. They look great.

Hi Chris,
The cam net on the warrior is gauze bandage wrapped around tissue paper and painted.

Since it's British, you may want to add tea leaves to the netting. It makes a huge difference in appearance.

Tea leaves would make it look better but not all Brit cam nets had the "leaves" addition. Whilst most did... Some didn't.
