discussion 1/35 WW2 Camo Netting.... Any Suggestions ?

[CarolsHusband]

I've looked on that internet with an obvious lack of success, does anyone have any recommendations for purpose made netting or what have people used from other sources ? I'd thought of surgical gauze but any other thoughts ?

Thank you Dave. I'd seen that on ebay but there seemed to be a lot of complaints about the size, though nobody actually mentioned measurements.

85mm x 180mm seems to be a reasonable amount.

Dan, next time your Gal goes to the fabric shop, jump in with her and ask a sales person to show you the different types of netting that is used in the making of Bridal veils, Hats etc........comes in various sizes of mesh and material thickness. Oh, here's the best part......sold by the yard and almost as cheap as dirt!

Thanks Rick, I'll give it a bash.
I've still not quite recovered from trying to explain to the woman in Dunelm that I wanted net curtains for painting the roof of my beetle....

I thought the usual technique was to use medical gauze?

I've used it in the past, I was just wondering if there was anything more suitable.

For rolled cam-nets I sometimes use hairnets (yes, still available!) dipped in dilute PVA with appropriate herbs. dried tea leaves etc as garnish!

I completely agree with Dave Dan:thumb2:,
Use this stuff all the time when i need some netting,not overly expensive and it goes a long way,(Figuratively that is..... not Distance!!:tears-of-joy

Go team FOG !! Netting ordered and I managed to spend another 30 odd quid on stuff I didn't know I needed.

Thanks for the help folks.
