Hi everyone , well here it is.

all you need are of the following.

1. guaze ( which you can buy at a material shop or you can get it when you buy your lemons or oranges in which they come in the same type of gauze)
2. spray cans, flat dark green, flat brown ( the types of colours you use are up to you but do make sure that they are not glossy)
3.match sticks

Step 1. cut your gazue to desired effect and trim of any loose ends.
step 2. lay neting down on a peice of newspaper and spray paint netting with desired colour
step 3. after the netting has dried, get your new prefered colour and spary paint patches on your camoflage netting.
step 4. while your camo netting is drying, bring out 8 match sticks( unless more are needed for desired effect and area of netting) and glue 2 matc sticks together using white glue and a super glue ( matc sticks are used to hold up camo netting on your diorama.
step 5. glue match sticks onto base and use netting to calculate the space needed to hold up netting.
step 6. once match sticks have dried apply the camo netting with white glue to the top of your match sticks and let dry.

DONE !!!!!

hope this helps

Matt,

nice and simple instruction. Maybe you could provide me with some pictures, so I can make a nice feature out of this for this site.

Another source of netting is to go your local pharmacy and by some Kling:

This stuff is perfect for netting. After you get a roll, buy some fabric dye, I use Rit, and dye the whole roll of bandage. You will have enough netting to make as many camo nets as you want.

plmp i have used that method and it is very good, however i prefer my method becuase the guaze has bigger holes and its is easier to bend and flop, you can also put more folage on it and its hell of alt easier, i will see in the future if i can get some pics for you all
