Any suggestions as to material to use to make camo nets from in this scale. Found plenty of advice for 1:35!
I need to make quite a lot.

You might be able to find more tightly woven cheese cloth. If it's loosley woven, then it's only good for 1:35th.

Thanks for the advice guys. I plan on a trip into town tomorrow and spending time browsing likely and suggested sources and having a scale figure to compare the mesh size. Will let you know how I get on.

Well the picture above shows what I am trying to achieve.

OK, will post a picture when I have something presentable but I found some nylon bridal net in brown and am currently spending hours sticking on foliage to get that effect

I am using white (PVA) glue to stick on railway type lichen and undergrowth but I will give the tea leaves a go to to break up the green. Thanks for the idea.
