| fishing nets
i am building a 1/20th scale crab cutter and needed some thing to make the nets, so i went to supa drug and bought a bath scrunge in white which i will now soak in a bowl with a couple of old tea bags to make it look old , then i will open it out cut the shape reqiured and stich together , the netting comes as a tube so cut to length and insert a draw string at one end. they cost 0.99p from any boots, lloyds chemist etc.
pictured is one as bought and one opened out.
paul.

| Have you checked the garden centres (B&Q for example) for a whole range of netting types used for fruit protection? Some are usable for boat modelling. | |

| i suppose it all depends on the scale of the model.
for exaple you can get different size (as in the whole) fishnet stockings.
...not that i know these things!!!

The best nets I ever used on a model were ladies hair nets. They make brilliant camo nets and would probably do your job nicely as well. | |

| You can even stiffen them up with a coat of ladies air spray as well,cheap aerosols in £1 shops,works well.A few quick blasts from a distance gives a thin mist of varnish like substance.

| i am with bunk on this one hair nets are ideal, - finding them is the hardest thing now !- also they look awesome on fishing boat models, but it does depend upon what scale you are building,
my trawler just needed floats adding to the net, so after buying a tub of beads for necklace making from the local craft shop i sat and sewed each float onto the net......
after several hours it was just what i needed.....
perfect !
