Hi Jason.
With reference to the camo netting....
I cannot claim invention of this technique, that credit must go to Ingvar-sylegrd. I have adapted this for my use.
I purchased some craft tissue in peach colour. I mixed some PVA glue with 5 parts water and brushed the mix onto the tissue until it was absorbed.
Once dry, I airbrushed the tissue to the required colour and pattern.
I made an arc cutting tool out of some brass rod, with which I cut a pattern into the tissue. I was then able to stretch out the tissue.
Forming it to the barrel was done by re-wetting the tissue and gently making the shape of the netting by wrapping and stretching. Once the water dries, the tissue holds it shape quite well.
