Hi
Can someone tell where I can purchase WWII U.S.Camo netting that is realistic or how I might make it.
Thanks

VLS are a company in their own right and do not have ties with verlinden except with sales of products.
To make a cammo net get a cotton bandage cut to the size you want then water down PVA glue it and roll/fold to the shape you want or leave it stretched out to dry. Once dry paint it green/brown etc. :-)

Go down to the local pharmacy and buy 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 can't tell from the photo, but each roll is doubled, so if it is a 2 inch roll, in opens up to 4 inches. You will have enough netting to make as many camo nets as you want. If you need burlap in netting, just weave facial tissue through the netting.

Orion,

Try this. Go to your local fabric store and get gauze fabric (used to decorate windows). It's 54" wide and you can get as much as you want, or as much as the store has. Bring it home and dye it green, broen, or what ever color you want. I have also been told you can find it in different colors too (thanks wife!). I spent about $10.00 including the dye and got enough to camo the HOUSE! (or at least the room I work in). Finding it on sale makes your pounds go farther also. Try it out and see!
