why not post something in our "how did you find us" thread and tell us a bit about yourself and your modeling.

ok...

well here is the finished 1/32 airfield with the camo netting. i used the car polishing cloth. i guess this could be used for any scale...it just depends on how far you stretch it out before you paint it to make the holes any size you want. i also sprinkled some corriander over it to get some diferent shades. not sure if im going to paint some of the leaves to get a few different tones. what do you think?

let me know what you guys (and gals) think.

Thanks Richard!! I have been looking for something to simulate camo nets, and now you just made me happy!!

its not really a common subject on the net is it. hopefully people who search now will find this and find it usefull!

Using the Cloth Richard was a great idea. I've seen that HobbyCraft do netting for camoflauge but it is in the model train section. Don't know if that helps you at all but thought you might like to know.

That was pretty amazing!! And of course as simple as it gets....just like Columbus and the egg!I will defenately try that and scale it up to 1:25 by adding 1mm to the cutter!
The tool is a typical wood engraving tool, so that should not be a problem.

rjwood_uk

yea it is pretty good isnt it. what will you be using the netting for?

Johnny

I will use it for the T40, painted white and spotted mud just placed on the tank...
And I have a nice tank coming up after the Chiha is done.I will build the Pz KpWg II "Luchs" and I will place the tank nearby a shed for maintenance/cover and partly covered with the net or somethink like that.I have not quite figured out the scene yet but I'm sure it will come some ideas when the build has started

Here is a pic of the Luchs in 1:25 scale.This is from the WAk's site and I think it's from the testbuild since it doesnt have tracks yet.I have got the lasercutted tracks for this one.
