Hi there,

I have a couple of questions that I need help with please.

1. What would be an appropriate color for WWII German camouflage netting used in the European theater?

2. What would be an appropriate color for the lumber used in trenches around German bunkers during WWII in the European theater?

Thanks,

HARV

PS I tend to mainly use Tamiya and Model Master paints.

camouflage netting depends where they were and what they were trying to hide just use instincts if the vehicle or what ever is in an urban area i would go with a brown and if in countryside go with green.

lumber wise look at pictures of the countryside in those areas than try and replicate those trees don't get to bogged down with is this the right colour its more does this give the right impression.

Lewis,

My questions are aimed at my Borders Of The Fatherland diorama as well. Hopefully I will have some in-progress photos to show soon.
