you can make bedrolls, netting, sandbags, use spare parts like K5 ration boxes. use thread to tie them down. tarps can be made with tissue nad water/white glue. same with the netting and bedrolls. for camo net use gauze. then you can paint everything to what you think looks right!

Virtually all of the storage here (above and below) is made from three materials
A&B Epoxy Putty – Tarps, storage bags, backpacks. Pouches and duffel bags
Tissue Paper – Tarps and rags
Styrene – Wooden boxes and metal containers.
Though they take practice, they are relatively easy and inexpensive. Plus you can custom fit them and let them lay flat as compared to some per make add-ons.

Wow - i could go on and on here... besides the obvious tarps from tissue, I also make capes, dresses (for civilians), coats, etc. with tissue and thinned white glue...
I use sheets of thin pewter foil to make awnings for buildings, as well as curtains, bedding, and table clothes and towels.
Fine silver or brass chain is cheap and can be found at most hobby art centers... makes great tow chains if weathered correctly...
I cast a LOT of my own material, and one of my all-time most popular Digital Diamonds tells readers how to make REALLY unique plaster diorama bases from the lids of common household items like pie tins, bakery coverings, etc. Check the article out in the FEATURES - DIGITAL DIAMONDS area....
Fern Fronds make WONDERFUL palm tree leaves and tropical area foliage.
Like I said - I could eat up a gig of Jim's storeage area with this subject... but let me turn it over to someone else to pick up the slack!
